A Mining Lease of Land is an agreement between a landowner and a mining company that grants the mining company exclusive rights for mining activities on the land. The lease is usually for a specific period of time and provides the mining company with the right to extract valuable minerals from the land. It also provides the landowner with a royalty payment from the mining company. There are two main types of Mining Lease of Land: surface mining leases and subsurface mining leases. Surface mining leases are used when minerals are located near the surface of the land and can be accessed through surface excavation. Subsurface mining leases are used when minerals are located below the surface and can only be accessed through underground excavation. Both types of Mining Lease of Land agreements contain information about the duration of the lease, the amount of minerals that can be mined, the payment terms for royalties, and any other clauses or restrictions that apply. Additionally, the landowner may include terms to protect their land from any potential harm caused by the mining activities.
