About Mining Claims

Purchasing a patented Mining Claim allows you to enjoy the same benefits as any other privately-held real estate property owner.

By mining a property and applying for a patent, Mineral County was able to acquire land from the federal government. The property became "real" property when the government issued deeds and the property transferred into private ownership. Although this land was held by a patented mining claim, many of them were never mined and so remained untouched.

Patented Mining Claims differ from unpatented in that patented transfers ownership of land and unpatented does not.

Understanding that only 4% of Mineral County is privately owned, patented mining claims are primary and are looked at in high regard in this area.

These remote pieces of land are granted with the most beautiful sites, trees and privacy this side of the Continental Divide.
