30 U.S.C. § 528 — Waiver and relinquishment of mineral rights
submitted 72 years ago by ch. 730 to r/title-30-MINERAL-LANDS-AND-MINING · 128 words · no verdicts yet
Before a mining claim receives a patent, its owner may give up all rights to Leasing Act minerals. Recording that waiver subjects the claim and patent to the section 524 reservation, but does not concede the claim’s priority or validity.
The owner or owners of a previously located mining claim may, before its patent is issued, waive and relinquish all rights under the claim to Leasing Act minerals. The owners must sign and acknowledge the waiver and record it in the office where the claim’s location notice or certificate is recorded. Recording it makes the claim subject to the reservation described in section 524 of this title, and any patent issued for the claim must contain that reservation. The waiver does not concede anything about the date on which rights under the claim became priority rights or about the claim’s validity.
The owner or owners of any mining claim heretofore located may, at any time prior to issuance of patent therefor, waive and relinquish all rights thereunder to Leasing Act minerals. The execution and acknowledgment of such a waiver and relinquishment by such owner or owners and the recordation thereof in the office where the notice or certificate of location of such mining claim is of record shall render such mining claim thereafter subject to the reservation referred to in section 524 of this title and any patent issued therefor shall contain such a reservation, but no such waiver or relinquishment shall be deemed in any manner to constitute any concession as to the date of priority of rights under said mining claim or as to the validity thereof.
