RE:Geographic Rights
One of the problems is that the State of MNdoes not have a process to grant leases for oil and gas wells orfor non-hydrocarbon gas rights. Because there is no oil and no gas and this is the first attempt to find helium to sell.
The state will have to develop the process. You would hope that Pulsar would get first rights on land adjacent to their prospect that they have made application for and have tried to file for but found no process to do that. But you never know what will happen.
The state of Minnesota does not have to invent this. The Province of Saskatchewan (which has oil and gas but also primary helium) has a process all set up for helium rights and helium royalties. Alberta as well, Montana, Colorado. In Minnesota it should be easier with no hydrocarbons to complicate the issue. But when did government ever take the simple route. Especially Minnesota government.
