§182-11  Assignment.  Any mining lease
may be assigned in whole or in part, subject to the approval of the board of
land and natural resources, to an assignee who shall have the same
qualifications as any bidder for a mining lease.  The assignee shall be bound
by the terms of the lease to the extent as if the assignee were the original
lessee.  The approval of the assignment by the board shall release the assignor
from any liabilities or duties under the mining lease as to the portion thereof
assigned except for any liability or duty which arose prior to the approval of
the assignment by the board and which remains unsatisfied or unperformed. [L
