Notification of intent to issue mining lease - Solicitation for mineral right conflicts

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources is issuing a public notice of intent to grant an upland mining lease (ADL 422797) to Northern Star (POGO) LLC for approximately 36,014 acres in the Fairbanks Meridian. The lease consolidates numerous mining claim numbers across multiple townships and ranges. Before the lease is finalized, the state seeks any conflicting mineral‑right interests; interested parties must submit written notice by USPS or email. The lease will be issued at least 30 days after this notice if no conflicts are raised. Once issued, the lessee must pay mandatory rent and production royalties and obtain all required permits before any exploration or mining. The notice includes a lease map and PDF attachments for detailed boundaries.
