Every claim in BLM's not-closed mining-claim layer that intersects Carbon County was pulled in late September 2026: ten open claims (AMBERIA 1-9 in T14S R8E-R9E, BLACK RIFLE placer in T15S R11E), none RW and none naming Valar. A second check the same day, by legal description, found no claim, open or closed, anywhere in T14S R11E (the township of both the lease and RW 453), and no Utah claim named RW among the 134 Utah claims BLM created from September 12 to September 29. Federal rules require recording with BLM by the 90th day after location (43 CFR 3833.11), so RW 453 (located Sept 12, 2026) is due by December 11, 2026 and may simply not be filed yet.

In plain termsThe RW 453 claim is not in BLM's public database yet. The filing is not yet due: Valar has until December 11 to file it. BLM filings, once made, may show how many RW claims exist.
verified 2026-10-02: Re-checked in late September 2026: a search of BLM's open and closed claim layers by legal description found no claim in T14S R11E (the same search found 8 in T14S R9E, showing the search itself worked); none of the 134 Utah claims created from 12 September 2026 is named RW. Revised before publication (late September 2026): the deadline sentence now reads 'the filing is not yet due'.
