BUT the real question is: does the landowner really have the mineral rights? In the case of MTEI, that wasn't the case. What they'd done was this: Marc Tow had bought up a lot of tax liens. He hadn't actually paid off the taxes, though, except for a couple of small parcels.

We got in touch with a guy in the West Virginia Geological department. He checked it all out and learned that the mineral rights didn't come with most of the property involved.
