RE: Small Tract Leases - S23 and S24, T8N, R62W
I'm writing to inform you that unfortunately the miscommunication between you and myself, concerning the amount of
mineral acreage, resulted in a delay in submittal of the appropriate paperwork and there is already a lease in the 51/2 of
Section 24 (2.42 acres) which predates the lease with AED. As such, I need to get the duplicate lease rescinded and will
be issuing a bonus refund, in the amount of $968.00. For future reference, you may use the Small Tract Lease form for
any parcels you which to pursue which are five acres or less. If the mineral interest exceeds five acres, then you will
need to nominate the parcel for the next scheduled public auction.
Again, I apologize for the miscommunication and appreciate your patience as we researched this matter. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Esther E. Gesick

Stephanie,
The attached e -mails document Mr. Lang's initial inquiry in August; however, I did not do any property research at the
time because I was not intending to schedule an auction until later in the fall and was probably just going on the
assumption that the 51/2 entailed more than a S -acre tract. Regardless, due to the oversight/misunderstanding another
company did approach us in September and subsequently leased the parcel Mr. Lang was interested in. Please advise as
to whether there is any remedy in this situation.
Thank you,
Esther E. Gesick

Ian,
Please review the enclosed documents which I believe document valid leases in both Sections 23 and 24 held by
Diamond Resources. Due to the typo (which has been corrected in document #2012-2517) our research did not catch
the existing lease in 524 which resulted in a duplicate lease to AED in November under document #2012-3277. Unless
you wish to discuss the matter of the timing further with the County Attorney's Office, I will work to get the duplicate
lease rescinded and issue a refund of the bonus payment. Again, I apologize for the confusion and will wait to hear from
you concerning this matter.
