Another factor to consider is, a person has 90 days in Arizona, from the date the claim is "located" to record it with the BLM and county recorder. It must be staked within 90 days of being located or it is not valid. BLM frowns on people who "paper claim", meaning they file a bunch of location notices on the same day without actually making a discovery, or staking the claim.
Know the difference between an unpatented and patented claim. Basically, an unpatented claim is the conveyance of the mineral rights only. A patented or perfected claim is surface and mineral rights. know which you're buying. Most of the time for mining, unpatented is adequate and less expensive than patented. An example would be that in Stanton/Wickenburg Arizona, a 40 acre unpatented mining claim would average $4,000., but a patented 40 acres would average somewhere around $400,000.-$800,000. easily.
