Has anyone encountered land that has very valuable minerals but due to restrictions in digging will the minerals remain unavailable forever?

We do not have that issue in NH has mineral rights go with the land and can not be kept by prior owners. Then of course, no gold or oil here.

Sure its called National Parks... but if we run into real problems with resources ( a likely eventuality) that will likely change.

From one Jeff to another: I assume you're talking about fracking. As long as it is not allowed in your state, you can't touch it. If it were the hope diamond (as in you hoped it was a diamond mine), you probably could. But fracking, for the most

I assume you're talking about fracking. As long as it is not allowed in your state, you can't touch it. If it were the hope diamond (as in you hoped it was a diamond mine), you probably could. As long as fracking is restricted in your state, it will remain there. NON-POLITICAL STATEMENT TO FOLLOW: With the current administration, you may find restrictions on fracking easing up.

Along those lines, I had a really cruddy piece of property. I kept it b/c I thought I owned the property rights (Maryland Property). I finally decided MD will never approve fracking, so I sold it. When title was done, I was informed I never had mineral rights in the first place.

I hope this helped. Good Luck!

Has not been an issue out here, though I hear gold mining (more accurately panning and metal detectors) is up in the areas south of the Oroville dam flood zone.
