Section 10101 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 ( 30 U.S.C. 28f ) is amended by adding at the end the following: A claimant shall have the right to use and occupy public land, before and after the discovery of a valuable mineral deposit, in order to prospect, mine, conduct processing operations, or carry out other activities reasonably incident to such activities if— such claimant makes a timely payment of the location fee required by section 10102(g) and the claim maintenance fee required by subsection (a); or in the case of a claimant who qualifies for a waiver under subsection (d), such claimant makes a timely payment of the location fee and complies with the required assessment work under the general mining laws.
A claimant that fulfills the requirements of this section and section 10102(g) shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of any provision of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act that requires the payment of fair market value to the United States for use of public lands and resources relating to use of such lands and resources authorized by the general mining laws. Nothing in this subsection may be construed to diminish— the rights of entry, use, and occupancy of a claimant under the general mining laws; or the rights of a claimant under the general mining laws. .
