newrecordconfirmed Utah law: a claim post must carry a notice naming the claim and locators, recorded with the county in 30 days
Utah Code 40-1-2 requires the locator to erect a monument at the place of discovery and post on it a notice of location giving the claim's name, the names of the locators, the date of location, and its size and description tied to a natural object or permanent monument. Utah Code 40-1-3 requires the claim's boundaries to be distinctly marked on the ground so they can be readily traced. Utah Code 40-1-4 requires a substantial copy of the notice to be recorded with the county recorder of the county where the claim lies within 30 days of posting.
In plain termsReal mining-claim markers in Utah come with paperwork on the post: the claim's name, who staked it and when. A copy must be on file at the Carbon County Recorder within 30 days. The notice posted at one such marker in Carbon County names Valar Atomics Inc and its lode claim RW 453 (fld-002, csite-019).
