Fact mine-007
newanalysisconfirmed The Green River gigasite footprint holds no mining claims: the route there is a federal land-use application, not claims
The Green River Gigasite application (UTUT106784007) lists 22 sections: T20S R14E secs. 24-25; T20S R15E secs. 19-21, 25-31 and 33-35; T21S R15E secs. 1, 3-5 and 12; T21S R16E secs. 5-6. None of the 2,060 Emery County claims in either BLM claim layer (open, or closed within the year) lists any of those sections. The nearest claim activity is in other sections of the same and neighboring townships (e.g. the GFU placers in T21S R15E and GRU placers in T21S R16E, August 2025). The application skips sections 32 and 36 of T20S R15E and section 2 of T21S R15E.
In plain termsOn this site, the company did not use mining claims. It asked BLM directly for the land under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, which is the ordinary, reviewable way to seek a non-mining use of public land (see mine-028).
