just the government telling people who are sitting on tenements (properties) and not advancing them, that they better do so or they risk losing them,"

After they lose them, government will auction the properties for investor who really want to develop the resources.

Say Elmat ha a property on whose area hen made an evaluation of the mineral prospects. After the results came very positive, Elmat seats on it and wait for the price of those minerals to rise.

Government goes to Elmat and pays for the evaluation he did and take the property and auction for Kidl Mining Co. who plans to extract the minerals form the ground.

Else Elmat, who has got old, passes the property that has Potash for his daughter who decides to keep seating on it while Brazil sends USD to Canada and other exporting countries and farmers get less competitive in world's market.

Once Elmat hears the government trying to get his property, Elmat immediately sells to Kidl Mining Co.
