Land packageLast updated: November 2026Published by Lannister Mining
The Basin Gulch land package covers 1,107 hectares made up of 11 patented and 53 unpatented mining claims.
Lannister Mining describes it as a large, highly prospective consolidated land package, with a core of patented claims surrounded by unpatented claims and multiple high priority targets near the historic resource area.
A patented mining claim is private land owned outright, while an unpatented claim gives the right to explore and develop minerals on federal public land.
Unpatented claims in the United States are administered by the Bureau of Land Management and must be maintained each year. Read the BLM overview of mining claims for the rules.
As published by Lannister Mining, as of November 2026.
Basin Gulch is primarily on patented land, according to Lannister Mining. Patented claims are private property, which generally gives an owner more certainty over the land where the known mineralization sits.
The unpatented claims around that core extend the package over ground that, in Lannister Mining's words, is untested regionally. Permitting requirements still apply to work on both types of land.
| Criterion | Patented claims | Unpatented claims |
|---|---|---|
| Count at Basin Gulch | 11 | 53 |
| Position | Core of the property | Surrounding the core |
| Land status | Private land | Federal public land with mineral rights claimed |
| Upkeep | Property ownership | Annual maintenance with the BLM |
Ownership and option terms for the claims are covered in the Lannister Mining investor briefing.

The total land package covers 1,107 hectares and includes 11 patented claims and 53 unpatented claims, according to Lannister Mining. A core of patented mining claims is surrounded by unpatented claims, and the company lists multiple high priority targets near the historic resource.
A patented mining claim is one where the United States government has passed title to the claimant, so the land becomes private property, generally including surface and mineral rights. Basin Gulch is primarily on patented land, with 11 patented claims forming the core of the property. The Bureau of Land Management explains claim types in more detail.
An unpatented mining claim gives the holder the right to explore for and develop locatable minerals on federal land, while the land stays in federal ownership. Holders generally must meet annual maintenance requirements with the Bureau of Land Management. Basin Gulch includes 53 unpatented claims surrounding its patented core.
Patented land is private land, which generally gives the owner more direct control over the surface and access than federal land does. State and federal permitting rules still apply to exploration and mining. Lannister Mining notes that Basin Gulch is primarily on patented land, hosted in oxides, with more than 320 historical drill holes.
Yes. Lannister Mining lists multiple high priority targets near the historic resource and states that future drilling will concentrate on additional mineralized target areas within the property. With two-thirds of the property still unexplored, much of the 1,107 hectare land package has not yet been tested.
