conveyed under this act, including the right to explore and
excavate for the aboriginal antiquity by the state or its
authorized agents.
(6) The state shall not reserve the mineral rights to the
property conveyed under this act. However, the conveyance

the gross revenue generated from the development of the minerals to
the state, for deposit in the state general fund.
(7) The net revenue received under this act shall be deposited
to a restricted account, shall be appropriated only to the

the property less reimbursement for any costs to the department of
management and budget associated with the sale of the property.
