Did you know, Mining Claim are Real Property. They can be bought, sold, inherited, leased, and a few other options. Real Property is something you own, when you have a mining claim you own the mineral rights. It’s the same as having a house, car, boat. If someone was to break into your house and steal, they would be breaking the law. If someone was prospecting for minerals on your claim, they also would be breaking the law. Did you know what a Association Placer is? Its a association of up to eight people, who can file a mining claim. 20 acres each for a total of 160 acres. This is same cost you would pay for all fees in a 20 acre placer claim. Did you know you can file a placer claim over a load claim, but you can not file a load claim over a placer claim. Here is something not many people know gold is in almost everything, its in sea water, ordinary gravel, trees, even in the human body. If you happen to be cremated, your ashes would contain gold. I don’t mean gold fillings in your teeth either. Gold is a mineral we take in minerals all the time, so do trees. The amount is microscopic.
