Important Information You Should Know :

Is a Federal unpatented mining claim property?
  Yes – An unpatented mining claim is a unique form of property. Your right to the property is restricted to exploration, development and extraction of a mineral deposit at the site. The surface unpatented mining claims is not private property; the ownership and management of the surface and surface resources other than minerals remain with the United States and will incur annual fees and taxes.   

  Can I construct buildings on my Federal unpatented mining claim?

 Yes – but with limits. Federal unpatented mining claims only give you rights to the location’s minerals. Surface disturbance such as construction of a building, road, fence or enclosure necessary for mining must be authorized by the BLM before you start constructing anything. There may be penalties for beginning work without prior approval.  

  The public has the conditional right to cross mining claims or sites for recreational and other purposes and to access federal lands beyond the claim boundaries. The public may not interfere with exploration or mining activities. Activities that require fencing or the exclusion of the public for legitimate safety reasons may be approved by agencies like the BLM, the Forest Service, the Mine Safety and Health Administration or state mine safety agencies.  


  Can I camp on my unpatented mining claim? Yes -

 Recreational camping is usually allowed on public lands; you can camp if the area is open to camping. As a mining claim owner, you may have the right for extended occupancy on public lands if it is approved by federal land managers. Check with the local BLM or Forest Service office for specific regulations if your mining operation will require you to camp for an extended period of time beyond the 16 day at a time limit.
