BLM’s determination of the amount of materials that you have
taken under the contract is binding on you. You may appeal this
determination as provided in Section 19.
You are liable for the total purchase price, even if the quantity of
materials you ultimately extract is less than the amount shown
above. You may not mine more than the quantity of materials
shown in the contract.

Sec. 3. Payments, title, and reappraisals -You may not extract the
materials until you have paid in advance for them in full
$_______________________ , or paid the first installment of
$_______________________
(Continued on page 2)

If you pay in full in advance, BLM will check this box, and
Subsections 3(a) through 3(c) do not apply to your contract.
You must pay in full for all sales of $2,000 or less.
(a) If you pay in installments, you must pay the first
installment before BLM approves the contract.
(b) Once you start removing material, you must pay each
subsequent installment payment monthly in an amount equal to the
value of materials removed in the previous month. Payment must
be made by the 15th day following the end of the month for which
you are reporting. You must pay the total purchase price not later
than 60 days before the contract expires.

(c) The United States will retain the first installment as security for
your full and faithful performance and will apply it to the last
installment required to make the total payment equal to the total price
given in Section 2.

If you are late making an installment payment, you must not
remove any more material until you have paid. Removing material
you have not paid for is trespass, and for trespass you must pay at
triple the appraised unit price, or at triple the reappraised unit price
if BLM has made a reappraisal. To resume removal operations after
you were late making payments, you must obtain BLM’s written
approval.
(d) You receive title to the mineral materials only after you have
paid for them and extracted them.
Sec. 4. Risk of loss - You assume complete risk of loss for all
materials to which you have title. If material covered by this
contract is damaged or destroyed before title passes, you are liable
for all loss suffered if you or your agents are directly or indirectly
responsible for the damages. If you are not responsible for the
damage or destruction, you are liable only to the extent that the loss
was caused by your failure to remove the material under the terms
of this contract. You are still liable for breach of contract or any
wrongful or negligent act.
Sec. 5. Liability for damage to materials not sold to you - You are
liable for loss or damage to materials not sold to you if you or your
agents are directly or indirectly responsible for the damage or loss.
You are also liable if you fail to perform under the contract
according to BLM’s instructions and the United States incurs costs
resulting from your breach of any contract term or your failure to
use proper conservation practices. If the damage resulted from
willful or gross negligence, you are liable for triple the appraised
value of the damaged or destroyed materials. If the damage or
destruction did not result from willful or gross negligence, you are
liable for lesser charges, but not less than the appraised value of the
materials.
Sec. 6. Stipulations and reserved terms - Your rights are subject to the
regulations at 43 CFR Group 3600 now or hereafter in force and
to any stipulations and the mining plan attached to this contract.
BLM will check this box if there are stipulations attached to
this contract.
Sec. 7. Notice of operations - You must notify BLM immediately
when you begin and end operations under this contract. If BLM has
specified a time frame for notification, you must comply with that time
frame.
Sec. 8. Bonds - (a) You must furnish BLM with a bond in the amount
of $ ______________________ as a condition of issuing this contract.
(b) If you do not perform all terms of the contract, BLM will
deduct an amount equal to the damages from the face amount of the
bond. If the damages exceed the amount of the bond, you are liable for
the excess. BLM will cancel the bond or return the cash or U.S. bonds
you supplied when you have completed performance under this
contract.
(c) BLM will require a new bond when it finds any bond you
furnish under this contract to be unsatisfactory.

or provisions of this contract, BLM may cancel your contract
following the regulations at 43 CFR 3601.60 et seq., and recover all
damages suffered by the United States, including applying any
advance payments you made under this contract toward the payment
of the damages.
(b) If you extract any mineral materials sold under this contract
during the suspension period, or after the contract has expired or been
canceled, you have committed, and may be charged with, willful
trespass.
