About this statute

This Part defines key mining terms and gives mining recorders recordkeeping, public-access, monthly reporting, relocation, space-marking, and safety powers. This part lets adults 18+ enter and mine certain lands for minerals, but it requires proper claim locating, marking, recording, and filing, and it restricts access on some lands or by order. This part sets rules for recording, maintaining, renewing, abandoning, and improving mineral claims, including annual work or payments in lieu, notice requirements, and forfeiture consequences. This part sets out certificate-of-improvements and survey rules for mineral claims, including notice, filing, leasing, surface-right, timber, and adverse-claim procedures. Mine owners and operators must pay the annual royalty, report active operations to the Minister, and keep ore/mineral weight records before removal or treatment. The Minister and certain officers may inspect mining property, and unpaid amounts can attract added percentages and enforcement measures.
