I am having trouble getting a straight answer from the officials in Colorado. Can someone please tell me how to obtain permits or stake a claim on Mt. Antero. What is my first step

Glad to hear you have had good experience with the BLM.
Did you notice that the Mining Claim Packet is from the BLM? To clarify another point for other readers, the BLM website (LR2000) is for locating mine claim ownership and the County Assessor's office (for on-line info) and County Clerk and Recorder are for private property ownership. Sorry to hear you have had bad experience with the Forest Service. So readers can discern misinformation for themselves, here is the link for the US Forest Service Handbook. www.fs.fed.us/dirindexhome/dughtml/fsm.html Explore the links to get to the official (ooooo! there's that terrible word) websites for the laws and regs and forms. What is the problem with complying with these requirements, staying within the laws? We are professional miners are we not? |

You have that bass ackwards friend. Assessor's office is for researching private property and Patented Claims. County Clerk/Recorder is for researching Location Claims. In addition.... County Clerk/Recorder info is NOT required to be available "on-line" as you suggest above. Many in Colorado are NOT available "on-line' and require a visit or can be obtained through mail request. Some offer "on-line" access and usually charge a nominal fee. We have a breakdown in the Protected Forum that shows which Counties charge what for the service (if available), quite pricey. Many Counties do not offer the "on-line info" service AT ALL PERIOD. The County where my claims reside do NOT offer "on-line info" as you suggest above. It is NOT a legal County requirement nor mining law that they post public records "on-line". Sorry to hear you have had bad experience with the Forest Service. So readers can discern misinformation for themselves, here is the link for the US Forest Service Handbook. I have not had a bad experience with the USFS. I have never had a mining related encounter with them. The USFS Handbook is not mining law and truly not the best source for information... for many reasons.... -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!
