*A patented mining claim is one for which the federal government has passed its title to the claimant, making it private land. A person may mine and remove minerals from a mining claim without a mineral patent. However, a mineral patent gives the owner exclusive title to the locatable minerals. It also gives the owner title to the surface and other resources. This means you own the land as well as the minerals. (Definition obtained from http://www.1881.com/minedef.htm.)
