A mining claim is a parcel of land for which the claimant has asserted a right of possession and the right to develop and extract a discovered, valuable, mineral deposit.
An agreement commonly entered into in both the mining and the oil and gas context. Under an offtake agreement, a buyer (the off-taker) agrees to buy all or a substantial portion of a resource producer's future output (for example, minerals) from the seller's project.
