§28–1 Inclusion of Certain Surveys in Labor Requirements of Mining Claims; Conditions and Restrictions

Summary

Counts geological, geochemical, and geophysical surveys as acceptable labor on a mining claim when qualified experts do them and a detailed report is filed in the county office where the claim is located. The report must state where the work was done (relative to the discovery point and claim lines), what was done, its extent and cost, the main findings, and the names, addresses, and professional background of the people who did it. Each survey can be used as labor for no more than two consecutive years and no more than five years total on a single claim, and it must not repeat any earlier survey on that claim.
