About the Data
Every figure in The Staking Report comes from BLM MLRS public records, keyed to each claim's actual location date — when the ground was staked, not when the agency recorded it. Each issue features the most recent month whose recordation is substantially complete, and figures are verified against ClaimWatch, ChoraQuest's mining claims intelligence platform, before publication.
