27-202. Method of locating a lode claim;
monument; location notice; amendments

A. Location of a lode claim shall be made by erecting on the surface on the
centerline within the boundaries of the claim a conspicuous monument of stones not less
than three feet in height, or an upright post securely fixed and projecting at least four
feet above the ground, in or on which there shall be posted a location notice, signed by
the name of the locator. The location notice shall contain:

1. The name of the claim located.

2. The name and address of the locator.

3. The date of the location.

4. The length and width of the claim in feet, and the distance in feet from the
location monument to each end of the claim.

5. The general course of the claim.

6. The locality of the claim with reference to some natural object or permanent
monument whereby the claim can be identified and, if known to the locator, the
identification of the section, township and range in which the notice of location of the
claim is posted.

B. Until the requirements of subsection A are complied with, no right of location
is acquired.

C. The notice may be amended at any time and the monument changed to correspond
with the amended location, but no change shall be made which will interfere with the
rights of others. If such amendment changes the exterior boundaries of the claim, a new
or amended map, plat or sketch shall be recorded pursuant to section 27-203 showing such
change.
