In the Illinois Basin, disputes over surface use by mineral developers, especially oil and gas producers, are very common.) Whether express or implied, the mineral owner's rights to the surface for mining purposes are part of the mineral estate — part of his bundle of sticks.
The court said that while the mineral estate owner's right to purchase surface would be enforced, as a court of equity it required fair market value to be paid for the land taken because time had so badly devalued the stated consideration.
The Illinois Supreme Court, however, has noted that the right to purchase surface rights is not subject to the rule against perpetuities when the owner of the right requires the surface in order to remove minerals already owned.
