Description: A mineral closing order closes state land to all forms of mineral entry, making it unavailable for staking mining claims, leasehold locations or prospecting site locations (A.S. 38.05.195, 38.05.205 AND 38.05.245). A mineral opening order reopens land closed to mineral entry by a previous mineral closing order. This shape file characterizes the geographic representation of land parcels within the State of Alaska contained by the Mineral Closing, Opening Order category. It is used in spatial analysis and to produce a variety of map products. This data set includes cases noted on the digital status plats up to one day prior to data extraction. Each feature has an associated attribute record, including a Land Administration System (LAS) file-type and file-number which serves as an index to related LAS case-file information. Additional LAS case-file and customer information may be obtained at: http://dnr.alaska.gov/projects/las/. Those requiring more information regarding State land records should contact the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Public Information Center directly.
