BLM publishes final ruling on The Department of the Interiors Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has published a final rulemaking to implement a 1993 laws provisions that require holders of unpatented mining claims on Federal land to pay the Federal Government a $100 maintenance fee per claim per year. These provisions, part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, also require payment of a $25 location fee per claim upon recordation with BLM of the notice of location. The maintenance and location fees expire in 1998 unless changed or extended by Congress. The $25 location fee is an entirely new fee. while the $100 maintenance fee is essentially an extension of the $100 rental fee that has been in effect since October 1992 and will expire on September 30, 1994. The major difference between the old rental fee and the new maintenance fee is that the requirements for qualifying for a "small miner" waiver from the fee are less strict under the new law. Under both laws a small miner must own 10 or fewer claims. Under the new maintenance fee requirements, a small miner need only certify that he or she has performed qualifying assessment under the mining law. Under the old rental fee requirements, the claimant had to make such certification, but also needed to be under a valid notice or plan of operations with the proper government agency. In addition, the claimant had to meet certain surface disturbance and production or exploration requirements. "As with the old rental fee, the new maintenance and location fees arc intended to discourage nuisance mining claims where the claimant has no intent to mine, and to reduce unnecessary surface disturbance that may be carried out solely to maintain a mining claim," said BLM Director Mike Dombcck. "The fees will be deposited into the general treasury and a portion will be returned to the BLM to fund the agencys mining law administrative program. " The BLM collected more than $50 million in fiscal year 1993 from collection of the rental fee. Since the fiscal year 1993 payments covered two years, fiscal year 1994 collections arc expected to be roughly half of the previous year's total.

Most of these mines were closed more than 50 years ago due to general economic conditions and not for lack of ore. In addition. Centurion acquired 10,800 acres of privately owned mineral rights in the West Tintic and Sheep Rock mining districts.
