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 |

Thanks all,
Problem solved there was a FS road that reach the claims. Slightly covered up but easily cleared. However it seems that there is no law that a Miner can use to cross PVT land? How about Split Estates where the Mineral rights belong to the Gov and the topsoil to the owner? I know you can claim PVT land if the Gov owns the mineral rights. But how about access? There should be such a law somewhere. Your efforts are appreciated. Thanks Andy |

Permission is still required from the surface owner to stake the federal mineral. Without landowner permission you are subject to trespass laws. I've known a few to do it without permission and claim ignorance if caught, and I've known some who have tried and have been met with a shotgun. Even if you already have title to mineral in a split estate situation, you still have to have permission/access agreement with the surface owner. |
