Section 11.86.155. Sale, lease, or other transfer.

	(a)  The rights held under a mining location on state land, or any interest in an undivided location, may be sold, leased, or otherwise transferred without the approval of the director. The sale, lease, or other transfer document must be recorded in the district recorder's office for the recording district in which each transferred mining location is located, and the transfer document must include:  
		(1) for a sale, lease, or transfer that is made on or after 8/26/98, the word "mining" in the title of the document;  
		(2) the claim name of each location;  
		(3) the ADL number (if assigned) for each location;  
		(4) every section, township, range, and meridian in which each transferred mining location is located;  
		(5) the current mailing address of each party to the transfer; the department will change the owner of record for a mining location on its records if a transfer document containing the information above is recorded.  
	(b)  The failure to comply with the provisions of (a) of this section does not affect the validity or enforceability of the sale, lease, or transfer of a right or interest described in (a) of this section between the parties to the sale, lease, or transfer.  
	(c)  Before a portion of a mining location may be sold or granted, the original location must be physically divided by amending it to reduce its size. A new location must be created on the remaining ground in accordance with this chapter. The original discovery and location dates apply only to the amended location and not to the newly created location. Any sale or grant of rights under either the amended location or the new location must comply with (a) of this section.
