| Extralateral rights | Environment | In mining, the right to mine ore downward along a lode or vein beyond the side lines of a mining location (claim). The right is limited to claims which contain the apex of the vein at or very near the surface, which are oriented with the lode line substantially along the vein and which have the end lines substantially parallel. The right does not extend beyond planes passing vertically through the end lines. Extralateral rights of claims filed before May 10, 1872, were determined according to the previous law of 1866 and by miner’s local rules and they were not dependent upon parallel end lines. Various States have modified the Federal requirements. See INTRALIMITAL RIGHTS. (references) | |
| Extralateral rights | Mining | Among numerous provisions, the statute (30 USC 26) provides that extralateral rights to veins, lodes, and ledges that come to an apex within the boundary lines and dip downward so as to extend outside the vertical planes through the side lines belong to the owner of such lode location. The extralateral portion of the vein is that part that extends on its downward dip through the vertical planes along the side lines. (references) | |
