     82-2-114. Amended locations. If, at any time, the locator of any mining claim heretofore or hereafter located or his successors or assigns shall apprehend that his original declaratory statement was defective or erroneous or that the requirements of law had not been complied with or shall be desirous of changing his boundaries or taking in any part of an overlapping claim which has been abandoned or in case his original declaratory statement was filed prior to the passage of this law and he shall be desirous of securing the benefit of this part, such locator or his successors or assigns may file an additional or amended declaratory statement subject to the provisions of this part; provided that such relocation or filing of the amended or additional declaratory statement shall not interfere with the existing rights of others at the time of such relocation or filing of the amended or additional declaratory statement, and no such relocation or amended or additional declaratory statement or other record thereof shall preclude the claimant or claimants from proving any such title as he or they may have held under the previous location and notice thereof.
