Claims and tenure
Last updated:
The Basin Gulch land package is 11 patented and 53 unpatented mining claims covering 1,107 hectares.
Lannister Mining describes the Basin Gulch claims as a large, highly prospective, consolidated land package. A core of patented mining claims sits at the center of the property and is surrounded by unpatented mining claims, with multiple high priority targets near the historic resource.
The Basin Gulch property is made up of 64 mining claims: 11 patented claims and 53 unpatented claims. Together they cover 1,107 hectares, which is roughly 2,735 acres or about 11 square kilometers.
Lannister Mining reports that the property is primarily on patented land, meaning the main area of historical work sits on the patented core.

Definition
A consolidated land package brings neighboring claims under one holder, so a property can be explored as a single unit instead of a patchwork. At Basin Gulch, Lannister Mining holds a patented core surrounded by unpatented claims.
For exploration partners, that structure matters because targets near the historic resource and the unexplored two-thirds of the property sit within the same package. Drilling can step out from known mineralization without crossing into another holder's ground.
Basin Gulch includes both claim types. The comparison below describes how they generally differ in the United States.
| Criterion | Patented claims | Unpatented claims |
|---|---|---|
| Count at Basin Gulch | 11 | 53 |
| Position on the property | The core | Surrounding the core |
| Land title | Private land; title has passed from the federal government | Title stays with the federal government |
| Rights held | Generally surface and mineral rights | Right to explore for and develop locatable minerals |
| Federal annual maintenance fee | Generally not required | Generally required to keep the claim active |
General claim information is summarized from the Bureau of Land Management mining claims program. Basin Gulch counts are from Lannister Mining.
