A claim also includes any ditches or water rights used for mining the claim and all other things belonging to or used in the working of the claim for mining purposes. A placer claim is a rectangular plot of ground. All angles of a claim must be right angles, except in the case where a boundary line of a previously located claim is adopted as common to both locations. The length of a regular placer claim from post one to post two is 500 feet along a baseline. Co-discovery claims must not exceed 1250 feet each and single discovery claims must not exceed 1500 feet.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Distributed from </SPAN></SPAN><A href="https://yukon.ca/geoyukon"><SPAN><SPAN>GeoYukon</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN><SPAN> by the </SPAN></SPAN><A href="https://yukon.ca/maps"><SPAN><SPAN>Government of Yukon</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN><SPAN>.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Prospecting leases are dispositions of land granted under the Placer Mining Act for the purpose of testing and prospecting ground for placer deposits. Prospecting leases cannot be mined. With reference to baselines, prospecting leases are staked in the same manner as placer claims, but cover a greater distance (up to a maximum of 5 miles). The purpose of a prospecting lease is to offer an applicant the opportunity to test a large area and the exclusive right to stake the ground to claims.</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Distributed from </SPAN></SPAN><A href="https://yukon.ca/geoyukon"><SPAN><SPAN>GeoYukon</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN><SPAN> by the </SPAN></SPAN><A href="https://yukon.ca/maps"><SPAN><SPAN>Government of Yukon</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN><SPAN>.
