The state Mineral Board on Wednesday conducted its monthly lease sale in the LaBelle Room of the LaSalle Office Building in Baton Rouge.
The board collected more than $1.4 million in bonuses in the sale, bringing total collections on mineral leases for the financial year that began July 1, 2008 to $200.1 million. Of that $200.1 million, approximately $143 million went to state government and approximately $57 million went to local governments.
In all, 11 leases covering 477 acres were awarded, out of 11 nominated tracts covering 6,524 acres, in the June sale.
The Board sold leases in 7 parishes – Allen, Caddo, Concordia, DeSoto, Jefferson Davis, Plaquemines and Red River. The majority of activity in the June lease sale was in north Louisiana, with eight of the 11 tracts leased located in the northern end of the state.
Of the 11 leases sold, 7 were located in the northwestern parishes of Caddo, DeSoto and Red River.

best bonus was $6,727.00/acre for a tract in Red River and a tract in Desoto.
Most of the tracts appear to be WMA areas.

It is worth mentioning though that Classic Petroleum is a consultant that buys state leases for others, they do a lot of work for CHK.
