Claims and land
Last updated: · Published by Lannister Mining
Basin Gulch covers 64 mining claims, 11 patented and 53 unpatented, totaling 1,107 hectares in west-central Montana.
Lannister Mining describes this as a large, highly prospective, consolidated land package. A core of patented claims sits at the center, surrounded by unpatented claims, with multiple high-priority targets near the historic resource area of the Basin Gulch Property.
The package covers 1,107 hectares, which is roughly 2,735 acres. It combines 11 patented claims at the core with 53 unpatented claims around them.

Land status
Lannister Mining says Basin Gulch is primarily on patented land. Patented claims are privately held, giving the project a privately owned center where the historical drilling is concentrated. In general, private land can follow a different permitting path than federal land, though each project must confirm requirements with state and federal regulators.
Unpatented ground
The 53 unpatented claims surround the core and extend coverage over ground that is largely untested. With two-thirds of the property unexplored and mineralization open along strike, this outer ground is where new targets may be drilled. Investors can read how this ties to the maiden resource plan.
Basin Gulch includes 64 claims: 11 patented and 53 unpatented mining claims covering 1,107 hectares in total. Lannister Mining describes this as a large, highly prospective consolidated land package with multiple high-priority targets near the historic resource.
