ATTENTION PROSPECTORS & MINERS USING THE BLM LR2000

The BLM Legacy Rehost system (LR2000) has been shut down. I do not know if this is temporary or a permanent site closure while the BLM launches the Mineral & Land Records System (MLRS) program that is replacing the LR2000.

I have had a few discussions with different BLM regions over the last few months concerning the launch of the MLRS which on the surface, appears to be a more in-depth program that allows a great deal of additional functionality and has been promised as easier to use than the LR2000.

The full MLRS was not functional as of 12/14/2020 - 0600 MST.

Once fully launched, the MLRS can be used with or without an account. For those of us with accounts to MLRS it will launch in phases and Initially we will be able to use MLRS for mining-related claims, such as submitting a new lode, placer, tunnel site, or mill site mining claim.

You will also be able to take action on an existing lode, placer, tunnel, or mill site claim, including:

Transfer of Interest
Relinquishment
Paying maintenance fees
Submitting Affidavit of Assessment Work & Proof of Labor
Designating Active-Duty Military Status
Initiating an appeal to IBLA

I highly suggest that you please follow the link below and read the complete FAQS page.

Although there will be a learning curve to the MLRS, I am looking forward to the updated way of interacting with the BLM reporting and functions.

Thanks for the update Kevin. As the authoritative resource, it's good to hear positive action is finally being taken to improve access and functionality.

It's the government, so don't hold out much hope for too much functionality...and with the Russian hacker of virtually the entire US government (yes, they know exactly how many of us there are, where we all live, and so much more...ugh) you can expect this new system to be burned to the ground like the rest of them will have to be...then eventually rebuilt which I figure with the more important stuff first...I would not count on real functionality until at least end of 2021 at best. These idiots we elect have purchased billions of dollars in new software for the IRS and more...but they didn't buy new hardware so all the old computers can't even run the stuff we'0ve shelled out big bucks for! The loss of the LR2000 will be felt for a very long time and I can assure you people will lose claims due to this new episode of govt stupidity.
