Claim guides by State
There are 19 States in which mining claims can be located on Federal Land. The 1872 Mining Law gives individual States the option to establish their own claim requirements. State requirements can vary so it is important to check the details of the State where you are going to locate claims in and the type of claim you are going to locate.
Check with your State BLM Office
Your state BLM office may have important information regarding claim requirements and information regarding areas which are open for location.
