A patented claim is privately owned land: the federal government has passed title to the holder. An unpatented claim grants the right to explore and develop minerals on federal land while the government keeps title, and it must be maintained each year. Basin Gulch uses both, with patented claims at its core.
Definition
A consolidated land package is a group of mining claims held together rather than split among different owners. At the Basin Gulch Property, Lannister Mining reports a consolidated package of 64 claims: 11 patented claims forming the core and 53 unpatented claims around them.
Holding the ground together generally lets an explorer plan drilling across the whole property and think about future mine design without claim boundaries in the way. Because Basin Gulch mineralization lies primarily on patented land, the most-drilled ground is the part held as private property. The surrounding unpatented claims cover much of the area still to be explored.

Open in the FAQ: How many claims make up the Basin Gulch Property?A patented mining claim is one where the federal government has passed title to the claim holder, so the land is privately owned.

Basin Gulch combines both types.

Permitting still applies on private land, so the full process should be confirmed in company disclosures.
