Claim Scout

Evidence before enthusiasm.

Claim Scout organizes geology, public land and claim context, access questions, and the source trail behind each finding. An attractive map is never a substitute for current official records.

What an opportunity screen must answer

  • Geologic caseSource maps, occurrences and assumptions behind any prospectivity signal.
  • Land and claimsCurrent BLM case and land status, withdrawals, mineral estate and exact footprint.
  • Field accessRoad status, permissions, restrictions and on-the-ground conditions.
  • TraceabilityDates, source links, review state and uncertainty for every consequential finding.
Exact-serial and point-area BLM GIS screens are live research tools. They are not a case-file review or an open-ground determination. Automated nationwide scouting, land-status reconciliation and evidence-backed rankings still require a separate service and source snapshots.
