Non Paying Mining Claim Signer

I have actually gone through the process Chris so it can be done but there is a cost, mainly in newspaper ads. If you are lucky all you may need is proof they got a letter from you. In our case they were gone off the face of earth as far as we could tell so we had to go the newspaper route.

"Upon the failure of any one of several coowners to contribute his proportion of the expenditures required hereby, the coowners who have performed the labor or made the improvements may, at the expiration of the year, give such delinquent co-owner personal notice in writing or notice by publication in the newspaper published nearest the claim, for at least once a week for ninety days, and if at the expiration of ninety days after such notice in writing or by publication such delinquent should fail or refuse to contribute his proportion of the expenditure required by this section, his interest in the claim shall become the property of his co-owners who have made the required expenditures."

This all has to be documented with BLM and I advise coordinating with a person at BLM that the process is being undertaken to make sure they get all the information they want (copies of ads, certified letters, etc.).
