The mining claims offered here are mostly "unpatented" claims, but there are occasionally "patented" claims as well. You can check out our glossary and tutorial links for more information about patented and unpatented mining claims but the quick definition is that patented claims include land ownership while unpatented claims only include the mineral rights - not the land itself.
