Minerals

Hard rock, sand, gravel, coal, fireclay and water are all in demand in Scotland and yet survey work is carried out largely by operators rather than proactively by landowners seeking to promote their assets.

Chalmers & Co's minerals service includes:

• Desk-top surveys to assess the quality, quantity and marketability of resources.
• Marketing mineral resources to potential operators.
• Engaging the Local Planning Authority in negotiations.
• Drawing up lease agreements.
• Negotiating reviews.
• Supervision of final land restoration.
