How to find claims to lease? 286 2
Started by cmc.80439@yahoo.com
I’m not sure if this is the right forum section for this or not I have a cpl. Placer Claims in Colorado and Alaska. They are decent for smallish amounts of super fine gold. I have 3 young boys that love spending time at the claims (gold or not). I’d like to find some more productive ground in Colorado even if it is a lease deal. I’d be fine with something like a 20 deal if I could reasonably get ~1oz per week using mostly man power and my small trailer mounted wash plant. Where do I...

Gold Claims in California 1233 4
Started by joseph.b.simonsen@gmail.com
I'm not even sure where to post this as its my first post here. Mostly I just scan the forums and property listings for interesting ideas on places to go panning. This had me thinking. recently a Buddy of mine filed for a mining claim in Nevada which he said was rather easy by comparison to California. Does anyone have experience or know how to do this in California. I've looked around online for a while and the information doesn't seem that helpful. As he put it, 'Yeah they bury the forms on p...

LAWFUL MINING CLAIMS Current events trends towards erosion of mining rights and withdraw of use from public lands. Some progress has been made in the courts to restore rights. GPAA Mining Guide no longer lists all State and Federal agencies they may require notification for leases, contracts, royalties, regulations, planning, approval and permitting.

Avoiding Claim Jumping 20533 4
Started by conrardy5@comcast.net
I have a question that seems to be very complicated, but I was hoping someone out there might be able to simplify it for me. I have been doing TONS of research trying to figure out how to avoid claim jumping on BLM lands. I feel like I've figured out about 95 of the process, but can't figure out the last little bit, or I am completely going about this the wrong way. Here's what I've figured out so far:

FEE CHANGES 18557 3
Started by walter@equalaccesstojustice.com
The BLM has made some changes to some fees for mining claims. Most are only a five dollar increase but if you did not included the correct amount it could cause problems including the loss of your claim. I have tried to highlight the federal register notice areas of interest and the table of the increases. The new amount is on the far right side of the table. Major issue for most miners at this time is the increase in the filing fee with BLM for the Affidavit of Labor or Proof of Labor, this is ...

If any of you are AMRA members also, you already know what's going on in Idaho. AMRA members are being denied their rights to LEGAL claims by the USFS and also by the Idaho Department of Water resources. Neither organization can point to a law forbidding the activity and have cited jail time and fines if they do not cease mining. This is a call to action to all miners and Patriots! Do not allow the liberal bastions of eco putzes to destroy our way of life simply because they don't like it. Start...

We are getting a second chance to comment on the National Monument if you have the desire. National Monuments are totally controlled as recreational areas with location rights removed.

East Fork of the San Gabriel River is one that comes to mind that is most recent. There is a web site page that is devoted to this that is a part o...
