The course will then turn to the legal issues involved in acquiring and main - taining mineral interests in Alaska. We start with due dili - gence, entity choice and formation, and the initial agree - ments involved in many deals: term sheets, confidentiality agreements, and letters of intent. After lunch, we will address claim maintenance issues and how to avoid common pitfalls in mineral tenure and mineral agreements. We will give an overview of options, leases, and earn-in arrangements, and issues to consider in deciding whether to include an area of interest or a right of first refusal. Finally, if time permits, we will give an overview of some of the major trends and issues in the mining industry
