Passport Potash has received permits (Arizona permits #1139-1145) for 7 more exploration core holes on their land holdings in the Holbrook basin potash play. The Arizona Oil & Gas Conservation Commission permits these holes because they drill through potentially oil and gas bearing strata. [Right, land status map.

Why doesn't the map show the current up-to-date boundaries of Petrified Forest National Park?
ReplyDeleteThe map in the post is from the NI-43-101 report prepared by consultant's to Passport Potash. You need to take up your question with them. Their map shows the federally owned lands within the park boundaries.
ReplyDeleteThe map we use on the Arizona Oil & Gas Conservation Commission site that shows permit locations does include the boundary extension signed into law by President Bush, although the private and state lands were never purchased to add to the park. http://services.azgs.az.gov/OnlineMaps/holbrookPotash.html
Much of Passport's land holdings are inside the park boundary but are private and state trust lands.
