1. If at any time the locator of any
mining claim located before, on or after March 16, 1897, or the locators
assigns, apprehends that the locators original certificate of location was
defective or erroneous, or that the requirements of the law had not been
complied with before filing, or if he or she is desirous of changing his or her
surface boundaries or of taking in any part of an overlapping claim which has
been abandoned, or in case the original certificate of location was made before
March 16, 1897, and he or she is desirous of securing the benefits of this
chapter, the locator, or the locators assigns, may file an amended certificate
of location, subject to the provisions of this chapter, if the amendment does
not interfere with the existing rights of others at the time of the amendment.
2. The amendment or the record thereof
does not preclude the claimant from proving any title the claimant held under
previous locations.
3. Where a common error occurs in more
than one certificate of location, the locator may record one document which
describes the error, makes reference to the claims by name and the date, book
and page of recording and states the desired amendment.
