Key recorded 39 documents in the Cherokee County Deed Records on April 14 and 15. Most of them were lease extensions, but there were a few new leases.

I was told last month by Key that our family’s acreage would not be extended.

Any updates on what’s going on in this area? I see that Maximus has not re-applied for a permit yet.
