The term "labor", as used in the third sentence of section 28 of
this title, shall include, without being limited to, geological,
geochemical and geophysical surveys conducted by qualified experts
and verified by a detailed report filed in the county office in
which the claim is located which sets forth fully (a) the location
of the work performed in relation to the point of discovery and
boundaries of the claim, (b) the nature, extent, and cost thereof,
(c) the basic findings therefrom, and (d) the name, address, and
professional background of the person or persons conducting the
work. Such surveys, however, may not be applied as labor for more
than two consecutive years or for more than a total of five years
on any one mining claim, and each such survey shall be
nonrepetitive of any previous survey on the same claim.
