What the Basin Gulch map tells a partner

Claims: patented core, unpatented ring

The Basin Gulch Property is underlain by a core of patented mining claims surrounded by unpatented mining claims: 11 patented and 53 unpatented, for 1,107 hectares in total. In the United States a patented claim is held as private property, while an unpatented claim gives the holder mineral rights on federal land, subject to annual requirements.

Lannister Mining notes that Basin Gulch is primarily on patented land, and that the land package is large, consolidated and holds multiple high priority targets near the historic resource area.

Access and logistics

Access is year-round from Philipsburg, Montana, on paved and well-maintained gravel roads, and the property is about one hour from Butte. For an exploration program, that means crews, drill contractors and supplies can move without the seasonal shutdowns and air support that remote projects often need.

Site visits should be arranged with Lannister Mining in advance. The Basin Gulch Property is active exploration ground on mining claims, not a public recreation area.
