An \"Unpatented Mining Claim\" means you will own the \"Mineral Rights\" to the land and NOT the land itself. The land itself, is still owned by the Federal Government.All paperwork is ready to be filed with the California BLM and county the claim is located in.
You are allowed to prospect the surface material of your claim including panning, sluicing, dry washing, metal detecting, and rock hounding for all precious metals and minerals (not just gold).
As with ALL UNPATENTED MINING CLAIMS on Forest Service land, you must file a \"Plan of Operation\" for any extensive mining operations beyond casual prospecting with the U.S. Forest Service.
You may not sell \"sand and gravel\" from your claim, only precious metals and minerals. Check with the Bureau of Land Management if in doubt.
You may not build a personal residence of any kind.
You cannot (at this time) \"patent\" this, or any unpatented mining claim. Which means, you cannot purchase the land from the Government for residential use. Mining claim \"patents\" have not been granted since 1992, and will take an act of Congress to do so again.
You may camp on your claim for two weeks if not prospecting, and you may camp virtually as long as you want if you are actively prospecting. Always check with BLM about extended camping related to prospecting. You can also recreate, hunt, quad, swim, horseback ride and do many activities besides prospect.
Once a placer claim is staked and filed with the proper agencies, it must be maintained on an annual basis. Proof that it is properly maintained must be filed with the appropriate County, and State office of the BLM on or before 12 noon, September 1stof each year.
Mining Claims are considered \"real property\" and as such, can be sold, leased, and transferred to family members.As long as you complete your paperwork and pay your yearly fees on time, your mining claim CANNOT be taken from you.
After purchasing the paperwork from me, it will be $274 paid to the BLM to get the claim registered into your name (which includes the upcoming yearsmaintenance fees.) I will provide all paperwork and instructions to get the registration finished as an active claim. You will really only need to sign and date before submitting.
The owner of an unpatented mining claim mayeither, pay the annual $200.00 yearly maintenance feeor, perform a minimum of $100 worth of annual labor or improvements (EXAMPLE: Road improvement, clearing overgrown vegetation from access road, trash removal, etc....) on each claim by filing a Small Miners Waiver. You may file this waiver if you own 10 claims or less nationwide. Its currently $15 to file this waiver.
Currently the yearly maintenance fee for a 20 Acre mining claim to the BLM is $200.
