Case Study: U.S. mining company achieves automated, compliant unpatented claim filing with Trimble Landfolio

U.S. Mining company - Customer Case Study

Trimble’s Landfolio software helps mining companies manage large volumes of unpatented mining claims in the United States. The challenge is significant: companies must file annual affidavits for thousands of active claims with the Federal Bureau of Land Management and multiple county recorders, with claims often spanning several counties and fees varying by county—failure to file on each individual claim can result in immediate loss and creates high compliance and administrative risk.

Landfolio automates the end-to-end claim filing process—bulk loading and mapping of claims, grouping by affidavit, automated fee calculations, generation of cover letters/affidavits/exhibits, selection of correct BLM and county recipients, and approval workflows—while providing configurable reports and a full audit trail. The outcome is reduced filing risk, accurate fee calculation, faster and more efficient approvals, maintained data integrity, timely submissions, and greater peace of mind for mining operators.
