§ 27284 Mining Claim Affidavit Recording

Key Takeaways

  • •If you work on a mining claim or put up notices about it, you can write a sworn statement (affidavit) about it.
  • •This sworn statement can be officially recorded in the county office where the mining claim is located.
  • •This helps prove that you did the work or put up the notices.

Example

You own a small gold mining claim in the desert and you put up signs to warn people not to trespass. You also do some digging work there.

You can write a sworn statement saying you put up the signs and did the work. Then, you can take this statement to the county office to record it. This way, everyone knows you did the work and put up the signs.
