Along with all the regular member benefits listed below you will receive the twice monthly Claims Advantage Closed Claims Reports delivered directly to your registered email address.
These interactive reports are a compilation of all the mining claims case files in the BLM LR2000 that were reclassed as CLOSED during the bimonthly reporting period. That's 24 reports per year! Each report is broken down by State with Heat Maps for each reporting period. Now you can tell at a glance when older claims have been relinquished by their owners or closed by the BLM.
Claims Advantage Reports are not available from any other source! These unique reports are generated exclusively for Land Matters and are not available through the BLM LR2000 database interface.
NO Internet Connection is required to use the reports. These are stand alone files that can be securely viewed at home, or in the field, in your browser. Each closed claim listing includes a link to the BLM Serial Register Report for that claim so you can view the entire history of BLM actions, an internet connection is required to view BLM Serial Register Reports.
Claims Advantage Reports cover the 12 western mining states tracked in the BLM LR2000 Alaska is not included in the reports. Each State Report can be sorted interactively by any column including, claim number, county, location date and number of years held.
In addition to the 24 bimonthly Closed Claims Reports Land Matters will be including periodic Special Reports free with your Claims Advantage membership. Learn More About Special Reports by clicking on the Special Reports Menu Item in the Menu Bar to the right.
