2. Pre-Requisites
It is a subject without established requirements, but it would be advisable for the student to have passed the subjects related to geology, mining research, mineral deposits, etc.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The mining technique of the boreholes is the essence of the evidence of the existence of a specific mining deposit, as well as of the knowledge of any underground material of interest for the material execution of a civil work, which makes it an essential subject to complete the training of a graduate in Mining Technology Engineering. It is also a subject that is intimately related to others in the degree, especially those of a geological mining nature, providing clear support to the knowledge of these.
