2026-09 · fld-001 · Carbon County

Mining-claim markers stand in Carbon County. The Notice of Location posted at one of them (fld-002) names Valar Atomics Inc as locator of the RW 453 lode claim in Section 28, Township 14 South, Range 11 East, about 3.4 miles northeast of central Wellington, measured to the section's centre (BLM survey grid, dir-002).

In plain termsMining claims are staked on the ground with posts or monuments. Under Utah law each claim's location notice, naming who staked it and when, has to be posted at the claim and recorded with the county. The notice on the marker is the quickest way to learn who is behind it.
verified 2026-09-29: Field report; the posted notice is fld-002. Synthesis check 2026-09-29: the distance to Wellington was given as 'about 2.5 miles', citing dir-002, which gives about 3.4 miles from central Wellington to the centre of Section 28 (recomputed from BLM's section corners; the nearest corner of the section is closer); corrected to match dir-002.
