*HOW TO STAKE A MINING CLAIM

Staking a Mining Claim or Site

Mining claim stakeFederal law simply specifies that claim boundaries must be distinctly and clearly marked to be readily identifiable on the ground.

The mining laws allow States to establish their own laws regarding the manner in which mining claims and sites are located.

Most States have statutes and regulations adding to the Mining Law of 1872, as amended, concerning the actual staking and recording of mining claims.

Staking requirements include the placement, size, and acceptable materials for a corner post or a discovery monument.

Check with the proper State agency(s) before locating claims.

State agencies may include the State geological survey, the State mineral resource department, or the State lands commission.
