Yes, and that is why there are contracts initiated between those that the original BLM claimant and any partners or JV's (Joint Venture) or others, to insure that all BLM conditions are complied with.
However getting back to why Searchlite is the only entity showing on the BLM documents, can you imagine if every partner, JV or contractor, subleasee,or whatever, be it one or one million, were all listed on the BLM docs would be ludicrous to imagine and impossiable to maintain.
Why I posted the reason as to why NMGL or any other sub entity is not listed as BLM claimants.
My point being that there could be a vas amount of vested interest from many without being listed as BLM claim owner.
Also all mining operations are not all necessarily claims, in other words all claims have mineral rights, but all mineral rights are not always from claims.
