Mining & minerals
State Mining Claims (active) — Alaska
Active state mining claims from the Alaska Division of Mining, Land and Water (DNR OpenData).
Why this data matters
- State claims are separate from federal (BLM) claims; both can apply in the same area.
- Required for conflict checks before staking and for compliance monitoring.
- DNR OpenData is the official state source for Alaska mining claims.
