I spoke to Katherine on the phone and she said all rights under existing Mineral Claims and leases are permi tted including exploration and development. Also, Land and Water Boards can issue Land Use Permits in any area with withdrawn lands. Any kind of lease would be problematic from their point of view, so i mentioned that any .UP that was without a lease, if one was required as a component of their application, would not be issued anyway. From her point of view, the access road in question is still outside the activities not permitted in the area, more because there is no tease required as opposed to the grandfather clause".
