The interaction of the U.S. Mining Law of 1872 with modern land use and environmental laws can make natural resources law quite complex and confusing. Our firm has been handling these matters for more than 20 years. We have seen them from nearly every angle imaginable.

• The average title opinion for lands with mineral rights is about 35 pages long, covering matters the title insurers feel are too risky. We can explain these matters to you.
• Does your family own mineral rights? Are they valuable, or are they a hazard? Let us help you protect your rights.
• Can you still mine or prospect on your claim in a National Forest, or at least keep it as a place to get away. If not, will the Forest Service buy it from you? We can negotiate with them.
