The University of Alaska (“University”) is offering two parcels of land and improvements for lease for the purpose of mineral exploration with the University having some participatory role in exploration and development activities with the UAF Mining Engineering programs. The parcels are located approximately 17 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska. There is constructed road access and a building potentially available for use for mining activities on the parcel. Until recently, the parcels have functioned as a working mine for instructional purposes only. The parcels will be leased at or above fair market value.
Interested parties should thoroughly inspect the parcels prior to submitting an offer to ensure that the parcels are suitable for the party’s intended use and to determine all permitting requirements related to that intended use. Additional information regarding these parcels may be available from local, state and federal offices, including but not limited to: the city or borough assessor’s office, building permitting office and land planning office; local utility companies; district recorder’s office; the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation, Department of Fish and Game and Department of Transportation and Public Facilities; and the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, Geological Survey and Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Parcel inspections that require the use of any equipment, including excavation or drilling equipment; may only be conducted after receipt of a permit from the University, and after verification by the interested party that they have secured legal access to the parcel from adjacent land owners, if necessary.
This disposal plan is effective as long as the University owns the parcel.
