We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can I hunt on my mining claim?

You can hunt it, sure, but you could also hunt it without paying if its otherwise legal to do so. You also do not (as I read it) have any right to deny others access, UNLESS they mess with your mineral rights.

Do mining claims have to be marked?

Federal law specifies that claim boundaries must be distinctly and clearly marked to be readily identifiable.

Are mining claims private property?

Your right to the property is restricted to exploration, development and extraction of a mineral deposit at the site. The surface of almost all unpatented mining claims is not private property; the ownership and management of the surface and surface resources remains with the United States.

Can you build a house on an unpatented mining claim?

Can I construct buildings or other improvements on my unpatented mining claim? You may not construct, place, or maintain any kind of building or other structure, road, trail, fence or enclosure, and place or store equipment without the prior approval of a plan of operation from the Forest Service.

What does it mean if a property has a mining claim?

A mining claim is a parcel of land for which the claimant has asserted a right of possession and the right to develop and extract a discovered, valuable, mineral deposit.
