Who Needs a Mining Lease Bond?

The Bureau of Land Management requires anyone planning to develop mineral resources on public lands to be bonded. To receive approval for an application for permit to drill (APD), one of the following individuals must file a mining lease bond: 

  • Record title owner 
  • Operating rights owner 
  • Operator 
  • Unit operator 

How Do Mining Lease Bonds Work? 

In order to be certified to break ground on public land, a mining operator must file a surety bond. A mining lease bond creates an agreement between three parties: 

  • Principal: The operator or person assuming responsibility for the project
  • Surety: The surety company providing the bond
  • Obligee: The Bureau of Land Management 

Multiple public mining projects can be covered under one bond. Check with your local Bureau of Land Management office to ensure the bond amount is sufficient for all of your projects.
