Mineral exploration in the UP possible beneath homes, waterways

I'd noted recently the various moves by corporations for water and mining rights in Michigan, but this one takes the cake:
MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN – Local property owners are expressing alarm over mineral lease requests made by UPX Minerals, a wholly owned subsidiary of Highland Copper. UPX is seeking to lease nearly 4,000 acres of State-owned minerals in Iron and Marquette Counties. 
Most of these mineral properties are in Marquette County, and many are underneath private property, homes, camps, rivers and streams, lakes, wetlands – even nature reserves.
Hat tip, Dave Dempsey.
