501 open mining claims compete for the same ground.
Mining claims don't stop a geothermal or right-of-way project, but they compete for surface, complicate siting and access, and each claimant is a party you have to deal with. 159 are active, 341 newly filed, 1 under review. Which ones actually sit in your footprint is a mapping question, and we answer it tract by tract.
Oil & gasNo authorized federal oil and gas leases, but 168 closed leases on record. The ground has been tried before.
The private half of Elmore County isn't in any database.
Everything above is what the federal government controls. It does not show who owns a severed mineral or geothermal estate on private ground, whether that title is clean, what liens sit against it, or which families you'll be negotiating with. That lives in the Elmore County recorder's office, and it is the step that decides whether you can actually lease the ground.
