newrecordconfirmed No 'RW' claim is in BLM's public claim layer yet; federal rules allow 90 days after location to record it
Every claim in BLM's not-closed mining-claim layer that intersects Carbon County was pulled on 2026-09-29: ten open claims (AMBERIA 1-9 in T14S R9E, BLACK RIFLE placer in T15S R11E), none RW and none naming Valar (mine-002). A second check the same day, by legal description, found no claim, open or closed, anywhere in T14S R11E (the township of both the lease and RW 453), and no Utah claim named RW among the 134 Utah claims BLM created from September 12 to September 29. Federal rules require recording with BLM by the 90th day after location (43 CFR 3833.11), so RW 453 (located Sept 12, 2026) is due by December 11, 2026 and may simply not be filed yet.
In plain termsThe RW 453 claim is not in BLM's public database yet. The filing is not yet due: Valar has until December 11 to file it. The filing will show how many RW claims exist.
