Minerals

Mineral resources from public lands can be acquired under three basic mechanisms: 

  • Locatable Minerals (mining claims)
  • Leasable Minerals (through a lease, e.g., coal, geothermal and oil and gas)
  • Saleable Minerals (through a contract)
 
The Royal Gorge Field Office's minerals program has three additional focus areas 
  • Geology
 
Additional Information is provided on the following areas we receive routine public inquiries.
