Enclosed is information about locating mining claims in Idaho. We do not maintain a general map of existing claims or areas open to mineral entry. We have surface status maps that indicate BLM, Forest, State, and private lands. A map index is included at the back of this brochure to help you identify the map and BLM District Office that covers your area of interest.
BLM records of land status in Idaho, called Master Title Plats (MTPs), are available for inspection at the Idaho State Office or the BLM District Offices for their management area. These records indicate ownership of lands, and whether or not lands are open to mineral entry. You need to know the legal description (township, range, section) of the area in question in order to use these records. Paper copies of the MTPs may be purchased for $1.10 each. MTPs are also accessible at the GLO website http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ under the LSR tab.
Mining claim files are kept at the Idaho State Office. These files contain location notice(s), map(s), and other filed documents. Copies from these files are available for a fee (see the enclosed fee list).
Active and closed unpatented mining claim data can be viewed on the Land and Mineral LR2000 web page at www.blm.gov/lr2000 or the Land and Mineral Use Records Viewer at www.geocommunicator.gov. You may research by owner name, claim name, IMC number, or legal description (meridian, township, range, section).The legal description is required when searching for claims in a particular area. To completely research what lands are open for mining claim location, a combination of these records, in addition to the applicable County’s records, should be inspected.
We do not provide official forms but provide sample formats for the following: Mining Claim Location Notice, Affidavit of Assessment of Work, Notice of Intent to Hold, Maintenance Fee, and Relinquishment. The only official form is the Small Miners Waiver
The Information Access Center is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, except Federal holidays. We can also be reached by phone at (208) 373-3889, or fax (208) 373-3899.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What are Locatable Minerals?
Locatable minerals can be obtained by locating a mining claim. Locatable minerals include both metallic minerals (gold, silver, lead, etc.) and nonmetallic minerals (fluorspar, ornamental stone possessing unique characteristics, sulfur, barite, zeolite, gemstones, etc.) Originally, all minerals except for coal were obtained under the General Mining Laws, however, Congress has removed certain minerals from the operation of the General Mining Law.
Leasable Minerals. Leasable minerals today include oil and gas, oil shale, geothermal resources, potash, sodium, native asphalt, solid and semisolid bitumen, bituminous rock, phosphate, and coal.
Mineral Materials. Since 1947, the Federal Government has sold common varieties of sand, gravel, homate, stone, pumice, pumicite, cinders, and ordinary clay. Use of salable minerals requires either a sales contract or a free use permit. The BLM may issue free use permits to a government agency or a non-profit organization. The Forest Service administers the disposal of salable minerals from the National Forest System lands.
2. What is a mining claim?
“ That portion of the public mineral lands which a miner, for mining purposes, takes and holds in accordance with mining laws”. The right is restricted to the development and extraction of a mineral deposit as regulated by the BLM or the Forest Service. The rights granted by a mining claim are valid against a challenge by the United States and other claimants only after the discovery of a valuable mineral deposit. Generally speaking, a mining claim is referred to as a lode claim if mineralization occurs as a vein of ore in place or as a placer claim if minerals are dispersed among particles of sand or gravel. A millsite is used to process minerals from a lode or placer claim.
3. Can I file a mining claim on any Federal land?
Not all Federal lands are open for mining claims. There are Federally administered lands in 19 States where you may file a mineral claim or site: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. In these States, the BLM manages the surface BLM lands and the Forest Service manages the surface National Forest System lands. Excepting mineral materials, the BLM is responsible for the minerals on both BLM and National Forest System lands.
You may prospect and locate claims and sites on lands open to mineral entry. Claims may not be staked in areas closed to mineral entry by a special act of Congress, regulation, or public land order. These areas are withdrawn from the operation of the mining laws.
Areas withdrawn from location of mining claims include National Parks, National Monuments, Indian reservations, most reclamation projects, military reservations, scientific testing areas, most wildlife protection areas (such as Federal wildlife refuges), and lands withdrawn from mineral entry for other reasons. Lands withdrawn for power development may be subject to mining location and entry only under certain conditions. Mining claims may not be located on lands that have been:
� designated by Congress as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, � designated as wild portions of a Wild and Scenic River, or � withdrawn by Congress for study as a Wild and Scenic River.
6
There is usually a 1/4 –mile buffer zone on either side of a river while the river is being studied for inclusion in the Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
Locatable (hard-rock) minerals on most lands acquired by the United States and on Indian reservations are leasable. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is responsible for leasing minerals on Tribal lands and lands held in trust for the benefit of individual American Indians.
4. Can I start mining after I file my mining claim?
No. You must get all necessary permits before you start mining, even if you have completed filing your mining claim. Most Federal agencies have regulations to protect the surface resources of the Federal lands during exploration and mining activities. You must submit a notice or a plan of operations before conducting any surface-disturbing activities, except for casual use activities. You also must reclaim disturbed sites after you complete your exploration and mining activities. Most State governments also have mining and reclamation requirements. To avoid duplication, several States have entered into cooperative agreements with Federal agencies. Operators should check with Federal and State agencies to determine the proper lead agency before submitting a plan of operation. You must also provide a financial guarantee
-BLM Lands: Exploration and mining activities on mining claims on BLM-administered land are subject to the regulations of the Secretary of the Interior in 43 CFR 3809 and for Wilderness Study Areas, 43 CFR 3802. These regulations require an operator to prevent unnecessary or undue degradation of the land. For activities other than casual use, they require the operator to submit either a notice or plan of operations and a reclamation plan.
-Forest Service Lands: Exploration and mining activities on lands administered by the Forest Service are subject to the regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture in 36 CFR 228(A). These regulations require that anyone whose proposed operation could likely cause significant disturbance of surface resources must submit a plan of operations. Miners wishing to prospect or locate claims or sites in National Forests should contact the local Forest Service District Ranger concerning questions about operating plans.
5. How can I get minerals commonly used for construction?
There is no specific application form for requesting removal of mineral materials from public lands. Persons interested in buying mineral materials on public land should contact the nearest BLM Field Office or the Forest Service for mineral materials located in National forests.
6. Can I get mineral materials for free?
The BLM may grant free use permits to governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, and corporations. The permittee is not allowed to barter or sell the mineral materials acquired under the permit. Federal, State and local governmental agencies may be granted free use permits for mineral materials, if they can show that a public need exists for the material. The BLM may allow non-profit organizations and corporations, such as churches and scouting organizations, to remove limited quantities of mineral materials.
7. Who May file a mining claim?
- Citizens of the US over the age of discretion, which for Idaho is 18 - Legal Immigrants who have filed an application for citizenship - Business entity organized under the law of any state - Duly constituted and appointed agent
