What's Going on Inside the Lignite Mine Area?

Does anyone have any insights about plans to drill within the perimeter of the Dolet Hills Lignite Mine?  So far, I think (?) that only the sections on its perimeter have been getting drilling permits.  I am wondering if anyone knows when (if?) gas drilling might occur inside the permit area of the lignite mine.  Or will drilling wait until the mining is complete?  If so, when might that be?  Does anyone know?

Not sure if this helps Henry but activity very near the mine is certainly ramped up lately. Our land in S2 & S11 (double churches) of T11N R12W is currently drilling with Chesapeake. That property in Section 2 is an 1/8 of a mile from the mine and looks to be next to be drilled from the same pad site where S 11 is underway. Many other pad sites ready as well.

It was great to be in Pelican this last week. Had a nice visit with the ladies at the library. I have a call into DHMV

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
