The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has scheduled a virtual public meeting for Oct. 28 on requested mineral rights leases for properties in Menominee County.
Great Lakes Exploration, Inc., of Menominee, Michigan, has requested direct, metallic mineral leases for Michigan Department of Natural Resources metallic mineral rights located within Faithorn and Holmes townships in Menominee County. This request, containing roughly 1609 acres, was submitted to the state of Michigan and is described as:
Leasable development:
- W1/2 NE1/4, SW1/4 NW1/4, Section 7, T37N, R27W (115 acres m/l)
Leasable development with restrictions:
- E1/4 NE1/4, N1/2 NW1/4, SE1/4 NW1/4, SE1/4, N1/2 SW1/4, SW1/4 SW1/4, Section 7, T37N, R27W (466 acres m/l)
