The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive up-to-date treatment of mineral law which can be understood by those who have no prior background in the subject. The sphere of mineral law, like all other specialties of law, is steadily increasing in size and complexity. No longer can the person whose work concerns mineral resources ignore this important subject. Source material for this book came from laws, regulations, agency policy, Interior Department decisions, court decisions and the author's own experience, including much material never before published. Literally hundreds of legal references are given, all conveniently incorporated in the text. This book is primarily concerned with the law as it pertains to mineral exploration and development operations during which mineral property must be acquired and permits obtained for mining. Laws concerned with the management and operation of mines such as mine safety and taxes are not covered. It is hoped that this book will serve as a practical guide for geologists, engineers, realtors, prospectors, government resource managers and attorneys who work involves the acquisition and management of mineral resources. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 711 pages DM1.
