§3832.33. How do I locate a mill site?
43 C.F.R. § 3832.33
You may locate a mill site in the same manner as a lode or placer mining claim, except that—
It must be on land that is not mineral-in-character; and
You must use or occupy each two and a half acre portion of a mill site in order for that portion of the mill site to be valid.
If the United States does not own the surface estate of a particular parcel of land, you may not locate a mill site on that land under the General Mining Law or the Stockraising Homestead Act (see part 3838 of this chapter).
