The movement of mineral products from mine to market is the fundamental objective of every mining enterprise. However, the difficult and recurring legal problems encountered in these activities have been overlooked by legal scholars, and little literature is available. The manual from the Foundation's Special Institute on Mine to Market: The Legal Issues is intended to help cure this deficiency, and will be invaluable to individuals involved in any phase of the production and sale or purchase of minerals - from negotiating an initial lease to preparing an agreement for the purchase or sale of a refined product. Included in the manual are discussions of: the mining process - from severance to saleable product; marketing strategy and the lawyer - methods of selling and hedging used in the mining industry; metal markets and pricing mechanisms; the impact of the uniform commercial code on contracts for the sale of minerals and other goods; contracts for the international sale of minerals; countertrade - commercial practices, legal issues, and policy dilemmas; commercial impracticability in mineral transactions; price and payment terms in mineral agreements; and mineral sales and processing agreements.
