Effect of payments for use and occupancy of claims

Title I — Mineral Leasing, Exploration, and Development

This section appears in one version only, so there is nothing to compare yet.

Except as otherwise provided in section 101, timely payment of the claim maintenance fee required by section 109 or any related law relating to the use of Federal land, asserts the authority of the claimant to use and occupy the Federal land concerned for prospecting and exploration, consistent with the requirements of this Act and other applicable law.
