From the post: "Twelve years ago, former Wall Street banker Randall Atkins bought an old coal mine outside Sheridan, Wyo., sight unseen, for about $2 million. He thought the mine might eke out a profit. Instead, Atkins recently learned it could bring a windfall. Several years after Atkins bought the Brook Mine, government researchers came around asking if they could run some tests to see if the ground contained something called “rare-earth elements.”"

Glad you liked the read. This will be interesting for the future. Most people think of Wyoming as a agro state but it's really a energy state. Lots of coal mines. I'm betting there will be renewed interest in some of the old abandoned ones because of this.
