lowman--that sounds right, but I couldn't find the reference so I didn't want to quote a specific number. It seems that I've heard the same $10-15 per acre, so I'm thinking we must have read it or heard it in something Keith put out. Recently, a small "signing bonus" was introduced only for primo site landowners signed on or before a certain date. I think we know why that incentive was there now...
Always finding the bargain, I believe Keith put out a "finders fee" for any landowner who brought another landowner to the table and signed. These were small fees, but paid for themselves by getting a lot of acreage under lease before any of the geological findings leaked through the "grapevine".
