Anyone hear something about a new kind of mineral being discovered there?  I thought I had heard something about that. . . .

There is another rumor du jour that they've found natural gas while doing test drilling, but that seems pretty unlikely they would be drilling that deep. That may have been distorted from the truth that there has been talk of mining gas fracking sand in the Scott County area http://www.startribune.com/local/south/140456063.html

Yup.  It is fracking sand under the baseball diamond sand.  A whole bunch of it, too.

I sincerely doubt the full term of the lease will be kept.  It makes less and less business sense for the Malkersons.  The big question is if MAF will move the site to an alternate location.
