Mining Claim Fee Requirements
For Further Information: http://www.blm.gov/or/programs/minerals/
NEW CLAIM FILING
You must submit a copy of your notice of location, a map, and fees within 90 days of date of location.
For new lode claims or mill or tunnel sites, you must pay a $194 per claim/site fee at the time of recordation with the BLM.
This fee covers a $20 processing fee, a $34 location fee, and a $140 maintenance fee for the assessment year in which the
claim/site was located. For placer claims, you must pay a $140 maintenance fee payment for every 20 acres, or portion
thereof, in addition to the processing fee and location fee. For example, a 60 acre claim would cost $474; a 70 acre claim
would cost $614. For any NEW claims located prior to September 1, but filed with the BLM after September 1, you must
file your waiver certification with the location notice (in the same envelope). If you do not qualify for a waiver, you must pay
an additional $140 maintenance fee for lode claims or mill or tunnel sites. If you have a placer claim, you must pay an
additional $140 maintenance fee for every 20 acres, or portion thereof.

When drawing your claim(s), use an ordinary ruler. 1/8 of an inch equals 100 feet. Therefore a full sized
lode claim (600' x 1500') would be 3/4" by 1-7/8". A full size, 20-acre placer claim
(660' x 1320' - not an association placer mining claim) would be 1-5/8" by 13/16".
