Mining
Fennemore Craig has over 125 years experience representing clients in minerals development. We advise clients on exploration agreements, including joint ventures and farm in/out agreements, purchase and sale agreements of mining properties, mine development, operating and production agreements, marketing and tolling agreements of base and precious metals, as well as derivative transactions, including exchange traded and off-exchange transactions and finance arrangements.
Our work for clients encompass projects throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada and South America, the Pacific Rim, the Republic of South Africa and elsewhere around the world. Our mining lawyers work closely as a team, providing finance, tax, business entity advice, employment, creditors’ rights, environmental, endangered species act work, water rights and public lands experience to a mining project. We are experienced in both leaseable and locatable minerals on federal public lands and have significant experience in mineral title examination.
