If that is what I think it is, there are going to be dozens of separate individual mining claims, and then a few organizations which operate contracts on pooled mining claims. I would get reports from multiple sources before coming to any conclusions on the situation.

A good friend of mine owns and maintains a longstanding claim on large portions of Oregon beaches as part of an industrial mineral claim. It is just a paper asset, but in theory gives us the right to camp there indefinitely, but we never tried it.
