acceptable sealed bid at or in excess of
the appraised fair market value, with the
opening oral bid being for not less than
the highest acceptable sealed bid. Oral
bidding will continue until the highest
bid is determined. If no oral bids are
received, the highest acceptable sealed
bid will be considered the purchaser.
The purchaser will have 30 days from
the date of acceptance of the high bid to
submit a deposit of 20 percent of the
purchase price and the $50.00 filing fee
for conveyance of mineral interests. The
