Sec. 28-1. Inclusion of certain surveys in labor requirements of
mining claims; conditions and restrictions
The term ``labor'', as used in the third sentence of section 28 of
this title, shall include, without being limited to, geological,
geochemical and geophysical surveys conducted by qualified experts and
verified by a detailed report filed in the county office in which the
claim is located which sets forth fully (a) the location of the work
performed in relation to the point of discovery and boundaries of the
claim, (b) the nature, extent, and cost thereof, (c) the basic findings
therefrom, and (d) the name, address, and professional background of the
person or persons conducting the work. Such surveys, however, may not be
applied as labor for more than two consecutive years or for more than a
total of five years on any one mining claim, and each such survey shall
be nonrepetitive of any previous survey on the same claim.
