New Mining Claim Patent Issued Options

[Clay Diggins]

Congratulations to our fellow miners in Oregon!

The patent for the Garden Spot placer mining claim was finally issued.

Some hard working miners now have their own 50 acres of private land in the Siskyou National Forest and BLM managed lands.

The final cert was awarded in 1990 so it only took the BLM 25 years to get that stamp to the ink pad, stamp and sign the Patent and mail it out. Our fine employees at work!

ORMC86146 is now closed and private patented mineral property. The beauty is the proud "new" owners live on Galice Creek.

Read and Rejoice!

For Clay Diggins and CP,

I can add some color commentary regarding the recent Arizona mineral survey, Mr. Crume's article and information on the mining company (they were a client), but I don't want to hijack this thread. I know that I'm the odd duck on this site. I'm not a prospector (at least not in the classical sense). I don't own any mineral rights. And, except for a small collection of mineral specimens and some killer ammonites I not a collector either. I am a geologist and land surveyor providing consulting services to mining companies, government agencies and patented mining claim owners (I do occasionally stake mining claims for mining companies).

If CP prefers, I can start a new thread on the "revival" of mineral surveys.
