TITLE 43—PUBLIC LANDS
§ 1719
§ 1719. Mineral interests; reservation and convey-
ance requirements and procedures
(a) All conveyances of title issued by the Sec-
retary, except those involving land exchanges
provided for in section 1716 of this title, shall re-
serve to the United States all minerals in the
lands, together with the right to prospect for,

section, the minerals may then be conveyed to-

(b)(1) The Secretary, after consultation with
the appropriate department or agency head,
may convey mineral interests owned by the
United States where the surface is or will be in

the mineral rights in the United States is inter-

(2) Conveyance of mineral interests pursuant
to this section shall be made only to the exist-
