Filing A Mining Claim

June 1, 2009 By Indio 1 Comment

This week I am posting the 2008 edition of the BLM’s pamphlet Mining Claims and Sites on Federal Lands, which every serious gold miner should read.

It contains the information about how a gold miner goes about filing a claim under the Mining Act of 1872.  Remember, there is a move afoot in Congress to change the 1872 Act which could be great for the small gold miner.  I would like to see the Mining Act re-worked so the small gold miner could still work a claim, because today most of the claims are held by big multinational companies.

Frankly, I think it has a shot, because an individual gold miner has very little environmental impact compared to the strip mining operations of the big boys and it allows a way for millions of average Americans to benefit from the mineral riches of Federal Lands.  So, any change that makes it easier for the solo gold miner to have a shot has my support.

So, here’s the link on how to File A Mining Claim

Strike It Rich!

    Man that realy makes no sense at all. BLM does not want any mining or anybody in the woods PERIOD. You NEED to contact the South West Oregon Mining Association, SWOMA. and Talk to Hal Anthony or Ron Gibson and learn about the 1866 Grant. ALL YOU PEOPLE HERE DO THIS NOW.. DO NOT DAUDLE… BLM is not the miners friend any more, USFS too!!! If you deal with them and their phony permits and their phony jurisdiction YOU WILL LOOSE IT ALL.. THIS IS NOT BS, THIS IS A WARNING… From a small miner and a patriot.
