2017 Mining Claim Maintenance Fees
September first is right around the corner, and for those of us in the mining industry, this is a very important date. Now is the time to gather your mining claim information together, and either file your waiver or pay the $155 maintenance fee to the BLM. Maintenance requirements are based on the assessment year which begins September 1, and ends the following September 1.
Do you qualify for a small miner's waiver?
You may file a Small Miner's Waiver (by September 1, 2017) if you own ten or fewer claims and/or sites throughout the assessment year nationwide and will perform $100 worth of assessment work on your claims for the upcoming assessment year (by December 30, 2018). For more information on the small miner's waiver, contact the BLM State Office, for which your claim is located in.
