Additional location certificate--Relocation--Existing rights of others not affected--Claimant not precluded from proving title under previous location.If the locator of any mining claim or the locator's assigns:(1)Believes that the original certificate was defective or erroneous;(2)Believes that the requirements of the law were not complied with before filing; or(3)Desires to change the surface boundaries of the claim or to take in any part of an overlapping claim which has been abandoned;the locator or the locator's assigns may file an additional certificate subject to the provisions of this chapter.
