Is there a maximum depth for mining claims? If so, where does it start and where does it end?
In another thread I heard something about 2,000' depth, but that confuses me as some mines go past that. In such a case would it start at the claim surface or the terrain surface? The Kennicott open pit mine over by Magna Utah is a good example. Or is it from the last workings? Please explain. -------------------- Today's socio-political climate is rock solid proof that Adam and Eve weren't prospectors.
If they were they'd have eaten the snake instead of the apple and we'd still be in heaven.... |
