Before you begin prospecting, you should check the BLM records for any claims in the area in which you are interested. Follow this link for more information on Prospecting.

Before you can locate a claim, you must determine if the lands are, in fact, open to location. You can find this out at any BLM office. No claims can be staked in areas closed to mineral entry under certain acts, regulations, or public land orders. We refer to these as withdrawn lands. The BLM State Offices and Field Offices have appropriate surface management status maps and records for you to make this determination, and they are readily available for your inspection.

A mining claim is a particular piece of land, valuable for specific mineral deposits to which a person asserts a possession for the purpose of developing and extracting a valuable mineral deposit. The lands remains, however, under the ownership of the United States. Citizens of the United States, or those who have delcared their intention to become such, may make mining locations. Also parents of minors may locate claims on behalf of their children.

If your name is on the list, identify yourself and how you are making a claim (e.g. owner, co-owner, heir, or business owner). You may need to provide your residences for the past five years, previous names and other identifying information. What Happens then? If the information you provide is a match to a name on the list, the Unclaimed Property Office will send you a claim form to fill out and return. Along with the form, you will need to submit proof of ownership.

In Alaska, there are two sets of mining regulations to familiarize yourself with - state and federal. First step, is to determine the land status for the area you are interested in mining. Alaska Public Lands Information Centers can direct you to the Bureau of Land Management and the Alaska Division of Mining and Water Management.

We recommend every 3' 0" OC. You can use fewer on curves and often need more on straight installations.

If you want more information about mining claims contact any BLM State Office as each has a public web site that usually contains information about mining claims. Go to any of the BLM State Offices for more information. All questions concerning mining claims should be directed to the BLM State Office having administration over the lands in question.

The Mining Claim Recordation System is a subsystem of Legacy Rehost 2000. Mining Claim Recordation contains information on unpatented mining claims located on federal lands including claimant name, approximate location, and other applicable information. Mineral patents are not contained in Mining Claim Recordation. The Mining Claim Recordation system is the source of the mining claim data on GeoCommunicator.

No. Although current law allows you to stake a mining claim on Federal lands that are open to mineral entry, beginning in 1994 and in each subsequent year, Congress declared a moratorium on applying for a mineral patent to a properly located and recorded mining claim. While this moratorium is in effect, the BLM cannot accept mineral patent applications. You may obtain further information on locating mining claims from any BLM State Office.

No. Unlike the process in place for locatable minerals on Federal lands, State-owned minerals cannot be acquired by staking a claim. Since state school trust minerals are managed to generate revenue to support education, the state retains ownership and develops state minerals through the leasing process discussed above.

You may request a relocate after an original locate request ticket has been placed and one of the following conditions exists: Work was interrupted for several days. The original ticket number is required to obtain a re-stake. If the original ticket is invalid, it will take three more business days for the relocate request to be filled. For valid tickets, the facility owners will then generally relocate the site as soon as possible.

The BLM Oregon/Washington State Office and Field Offices have appropriate land and mineral status maps and records for you to make this determination, and they are readily available for your inspection.

All tents need to be staked down to keep them from blowing away. Securing the tent by placing heavy objects inside is not adequate. The stakes packed with your tent work well in most conditions, but we do recommend special stakes in certain cases: Sand: Long broad stakes with plenty of surface area are ideal in loose, sandy soil. Hard, Rocky, or Frozen Soil: Steel stakes work well in these conditions. Store steel stakes separately.

Your tree should be staked the first two years to protect it from being blown or pushed over before its roots are well-anchored into its surroundings. Staking a small tree also helps keep the trunk straight. Make sure that any ties used are loose enough to allow for growth.

Not all of the mining claims or authorizations are in NILS' GeoCommunicator. The record may not be there for any of the following reasons:

It's hard to say until researchers start to submit proposals and the NIH decides which ones have the most merit. In 2000, the NIH funded $256 million for all stem cell-related research, using adults and animal sources for the cells. Researchers expect a groundswell of interest in embryonic research if federal grants become available, but only a handful of projects stand a realistic chance of approval in the early going.
