A Coal Mining Lease with Right to Strip Mine is a type of mining lease that allows coal miners to access the minerals beneath the surface of the land. The leaseholder is granted the right to excavate the coal through surface or underground mining, and the right to strip mine the surface of the land. The leaseholder is responsible for following all state and federal regulations related to mining, as well as adhering to any terms and conditions outlined in the lease agreement. The leaseholder is also responsible for any environmental damage that may result from mining activities. There are two main types of Coal Mining Lease with Right to Strip Mine: 1. Exclusive Strip Mining Lease: This type of lease grants the holder exclusive rights to mine the coal beneath the surface and to strip mine the surface of the land. 2. Non-Exclusive Strip Mining Lease: This type of lease grants the holder non-exclusive rights to mine the coal beneath the surface and to strip mine the surface of the land. Other miners may also have the right to mine the coal depending on the terms of the lease.
