Good morning,
I am contacting you today regarding your request for Mineral Rights GIS Data.
Department staff are currently processing your request, but have asked for clarification regarding the type of records you are seeking. Your original request was submitted as follows:
"- All GIS data pertaining to mineral rights on land within the state, including but not limited to private mineral rights, state mineral rights, federal mineral rights, and tribal mineral rights.
- All guides/ reports related to this data produced in the past two years."
Regarding the first bullet point, staff have asked what type of GIS data you are searching for:
1. All mineral rights (metal and non-metal?)
2. Mineral rights purchased?
3. Mineral rights registered?
4. Electronic GIS map files?
Additionally, staff are also seeking clarification of the second bullet point as follows:
1. Is the request for non-metallic mineral registrations that are mapped as electronic GIS data files? (If so, the DNR does not have this information available.)
2. Is the request for mineral rights purchased by mining companies under contract with a landowner? (If so, the DNR does not have this information available.)
3. Is the request for the paper records of non-metallic mineral registrations for the last two years?
I look forward to hearing from you regarding clarification of your request, and if you have any questions, please let me know.
