To conduct prospecting activities in the State of Colorado, a person or organization must file an Notice of Intent (NOl) to
conduct Prospecting Operations and provide a financial warranty for the prospecting operations to the mined Land
Reclamation Board (MLRB or Board). All prospecting operations shall be in compliance with the Colorado Mined Land
Reclamation Act, as amended (34-32-101 et seq. C.R.S.), and the Colorado Mined I-and Reclamation Board Hard
Rock/Metal Mines Rules and Regulations 2 CCR 407-1 and amendments to those rules ("Rules"). For purposes of an NOI,
the Office/Division serves as staff to the Board. This NOI form is for all minerals except coal and construction materials.
The Board shall determine (where there is a question) if an operation is prospecting or mining.
CONFIDENTALITY:
All information provided to the Mined Land Reclamation Board (MLRB) or the Division in this NOI will be protected as
confidential information and will not be a matter of public record, in the absence of a written release from the Prospector or
upon a finding by the Board that reclamation is satisfactory (Rule 5.2).
DEFINITION:
"Prospecting" is defined in Rule 1.1(43) of the Hard Rock/Metal Mining Rules and Regulations as the act of searching for or
investigating a mineral deposit. "`Prospecting' includes, but is not limited to, sinking shafts, tunneling, drilling core and
bore holes and digging pits or cuts and other works for the purpose of extracting samples prior to the commencement of
development or extraction operations, and the building of roads, access ways, and other facilities related to such work. The
tern does not include those activities which cause very little or no disturbance, such as airborne surveys and photographs,
use of instruments or devices which are hand-carried or otherwise transported over the surface to make magnetic,
radioactive, or other tests and measurements, boundary or claim surveying, location work, or other work which causes no
greater land disturbance than is caused by the ordinary, lawful use of the land by persons not prospecting. The term does not
include any single activity which results in the disturbance of a single block of land totaling 1600 square feet or less of the
land surface, not to exceed two such disturbances per acre, except that the cumulative total of such disturbances will not
exceed five acres statewide in any prospecting operation extending over 24 consecutive months" (Rule 1.1.43).
APPLICATION FEE: $86
NOIs require a $86 fee, which must accompany this notice or it cannot be processed by the Division (CRS. 34-32-
127(2)(a)(1)(K)).
