Question to the Veteran Lode Miners

[HappyTrails55]

Is there a maximum limit to the locators on a Lode Mine? I see on the Form 5 spaces, can there be more? Can there be 6 or 7 locators?...Thankyou in advance, Darrell

Put all you want but you're restricted to 20.06 acres per lode claim. (600' x 1500')
No association deal like placer claims. Keep it simple with just one locator.

Slightly offtopic: I think it has to have at least 1 locator per section (in township->range->section speak) if I remember correctly. Thus if you claim covers two different sections you need at least two locators. If it's entirely within one section then you only need one.

If we're thinking the same type of section, the a section is 640 acres.

Yes a section is 640 acres. If your claim is near a corner though it's possible to be in as many as 4 sections with 1 claim.
