Access to my claim over PVT land Options

[Diamond Digger]

Hi,
I know this has been discussed before anyone has the link?
I have several claims on FS land but cannot get hold of the PVT land owner over who's land I must travel to my claims?
Ideas?
We need to get in asap?
Anyone can pinpoint a law I can refer to?
Thanks
Andy

Great answer Yoda!!

Hi Andy!
I'm still confused on how you were able to stake a claim here when you are a citizen of the U.K.?
One must be a U.S. citizen or working for a U.S. corporation to stake a claim in the U.S.

One must be a U.S. citizen or working for a U.S. corporation to stake a claim in the U.S.

Or have had declared intention to become a U.S. citizen as a legal immigrant, or be acting as an agent (paid or otherwise) for a declared claimant (whether U.S. citizen or a U.S. corporation). The latter example of which would mean it wouldn't be "his" claim, but the claimant could certainly give him permission to utilize the claim thereafter.

Given the use of a helicopter, my guess would lie in the realm of corporate affairs, but there a more than a handful of other possibilities (like dual citizenship, or being a U.S. Citizen who normally lives/is stationed abroad.)

No sinister workings.
I am working for and with a US corporation.
Still looking for the law that grants access to a mining claim over private land, I did see a post here at some time but cannot find it again.
The guy posted and said he is the land owner and a miner wants to use his road what can he do to stop the miner, someone quoted a law and said he must allow the miner access to his claim.
I spend hours looking for that post, can't find it.
Thanks for your interest and time.

Well Andy, I have not seen that topic you are searching for or I would point you to it. For your access issue I would start by finding out if that is indeed a public road or not. The local Forest Service Office may be able to help you with that question. I am not aware of a law that would require a property owner to give you access through their property. If the road in question is not public, you may be limited to the helicopter or hiking in from the closest public access that avoids trespassing on private property. Hope this helps.
