                   TITLE 30--MINERAL LANDS AND MINING
 
       CHAPTER 12--MULTIPLE MINERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE SAME TRACTS
 
Sec. 528. Waiver and relinquishment of mineral rights

    The owner or owners of any mining claim heretofore located may, at 
any time prior to issuance of patent therefor, waive and relinquish all 
rights thereunder to Leasing Act minerals. The execution and 
acknowledgment of such a waiver and relinquishment by such owner or 
owners and the recordation thereof in the office where the notice or 
certificate of location of such mining claim is of record shall render 
such mining claim thereafter subject to the reservation referred to in 
section 524 of this title and any patent issued therefor shall contain 
such a reservation, but no such waiver or relinquishment shall be deemed 
in any manner to constitute any concession as to the date of priority of 
rights under said mining claim or as to the validity thereof.

(Aug. 13, 1954, ch. 730, Sec. 8, 68 Stat. 715.)
