Why would Murray Mines want to lease land for mining?

The other day someone told me that Murray Mines approached them wanting to lease part of their property for mining.  Murray intends to long wall all of the property but at the back portion, said they needed permission to get the #6 coal and wanted to lease 20 acres.  Does this make sense to anyone?  I thought Murray just went under your land and took out the coal.  I didn't think they had to lease any of your land to do so.

Any comments?  And how can you lease to the Oil/Gas company if you've already leased to Murray?  Sorry for all the questions.  I'm just stumped here!

I still own my coal rights.  My land is just east of Quaker City.  You might be at the edge of where Hanna bought up all of the coal rights.
