Mineral and Gem mining and prospecting, What is the first step Options

[zziipp]

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

Thanks for the compliments Clay Diggins, I agree there is some great info discussed in this thread. Unfortunately though you're quite mistaken with the following statement.....

I'm not privy to club information but I have noticed a rather important step in public lands research has not been mentioned on the public side of these forums. I'm hoping we can discuss that here without distracting from the good information already provided.

Each federal land management agency has their own land status issues to deal with. These involve things like Land Orders, Acts of Congress, reconveyances, purchased lands, temporary administrative withdrawals and access restrictions. These different land status variations are not represented at the County Assessor, County Recorder or the LR2000.

We discuss those topics and many many more. Guess we'll add you to the list of readers who should read more around our website to find the good stuff we've discussed and are discussing. Oh and not "club privy" info...just general open forums information available to all. But you will need to delve a bit deeper than novice/beginner threads you tend to favor.
