Activities on our planet change, as does the way of observing them. But in the face of the number of situations that are circumscribed around extractive activities, it is convenient for all parties involved, to seek greater precision in the approach to these complex issues; therefore, that is why the purpose of this text is to provide ideas, so as to adjust the territorial approach of the mining activity, leading to sustainable development. To do this a methodology was applied to a real case in Colombia, where space pertains to the location; mining activity represents the purpose; the gradual progression of time defines when, and sustainable development projects are the goal. A multi-location and representation were achieved, a mining characterization on four essential aspects to show interrelatios, as well as a multi-temporal trajectory for the gradual progression of actions over time, and, from the community perspective, the integration of proposals in four sets. It is concluded that, for fairer and better mining, it is convenient for us to expand the radius of observation, to consider the past, present and future, adopts others viewpoints. This means changing perspectives, drawing new horizons and integrating actions towards common objectives that minimize conflicts and enhance more equitable opportunities in socio-environmental relations.
