Synopsis

Clear, practical guidance on mining law from title to transfer This volume offers a thorough legal framework for mining rights, patenting, location, and the interplay of common law and statute, all in one authoritative reference.

This edition presents a comprehensive view of sub-surface and extra-lateral rights, plus how these ideas fit with federal statutes and the statutes of western states and territories. It is designed for practitioners, landowners, and students who need a solid, usable understanding of mining law as it stood and how it is applied in practice.


  • Plain explanations of locating, patenting, and grouping claims, with attention to end lines, side lines, and intersecting veins.

  • Guidance on open and hidden mines, severance of estates, and the duties and burdens that come with a split or altered mineral estate.

  • Detailed discussion of licenses, surface rights, and the conditions that make privileges personal or transferable.

  • Consolidated access to the federal statute and related state statutes in appendices for quick reference.



Ideal for readers who need a solid, usable reference on mining rights, from open questions today to historical principles that still inform practice.
