(e) The proximity of well-known systems of lode deposits or of individual lodes;
(f) The use or adaptability of the claim for placer mining, including the availability of water in sufficient quantity for practical operations;
(g) Works or expenditures made by the claimant or his grantors for the development of the claim; and,
(h) The true position of all known mines, salt licks and salt springs, and mill sites. When none is known to exist on the claim, the fact will be so stated.”
A URANIUM MILL
A URANIUM TAILINGS OR EVAPORATION POND
5–7 Mill Sites: Modern day mining and milling require sizable areas for waste storage, tailings and evaporation ponds. Camp sites, including schools, may be required for personnel employed at the mine or mill. Such areas are properly taken as mill sites and a large number may be required. They may be taken by legal subdivisions but often are surveyed, either with lode or placer claims or separately. If they are included in a survey with lodes or placers the survey number includes the letter “B”, while the other claims are designated “A”.
A mill site is not a valid location until it is put in use; therefore, all improvements and projected improvements should be shown. If the ground is to be used for a tailings or evaporation pond, the dam should be shown with its ultimate height and the high water line of the pond delineated by the survey.
