The World’s Mining Resource
Connecting Miners. Empowering Success. Building Legacy.
Mining still runs on scattered information, fragmented equipment markets, confusing permits, and hard-won knowledge locked in other people’s heads. Gold Monster brings it all under one roof — built for miners, by miners.

Five steps stand between finding gold and legally holding the ground it sits in.
Find a valuable mineral deposit on open federal land that isn’t already claimed or withdrawn.
Mark the claim boundaries on the ground and post a location notice, per your state’s rules.
File your location notice with the county recorder where the claim sits, within the state’s deadline.
Submit the claim paperwork and fees to the Bureau of Land Management to put it on federal record.
Pay maintenance fees or file the small-miner waiver and assessment work each year — miss it and the claim is gone.
Gold Monster turns this into a guided checklist with the right forms for your state.
Guided claim workflows launch with US federal + Oregon coverage first — more jurisdictions rolling out.
