Exhibit N -Source of Legal Right to Enter (Rule 6.4.141 <br />This item is to show that the applicant does only own one half (1/2) of the mineral rights <br />on this parcel of land. The other one half (1f2) is owned by Edward W. Greiner, <br />2779 Fair Ave., Keota, Iowa 52248. We like to point out that it is our understanding of <br />Colorado Law that Sand and Gravel is not considered a mineral but rather a surface <br />property right. Courts in seventeen (17) states have ruled that construction materials <br />belong to the surface estate and not the mineral estate. When a mineral reservation states <br />" and all other minerals" the phrase will not include limestone, granites, sand and gravel, <br />or other construction materials, particularly where they occur at the surface of the <br />property. Two Colorado rulings have been used to prove this point. They are Farrell v. <br />Sayre, 129 Colo. 368, 270 P.2d1 and Motmson v. Socolofsky, 43 Colo. App 212, 600 <br />p.2d121 (1979). <br />The above applies to all of Colorado except for land owned by the State of Colorado or <br />the Federal Government. They reserve the sand and gravel as a mineral to them. <br />If you have any further comments or questions, please call me at (719) 240-9424. <br />Sincerely, <br />Joe Gagliano <br />
