It will be in the range of 300,000-450,000 cubic yards of materials. I haven't purchased the property yet, just trying to figure out what's typical if someone else does all the mining.

If it has the proper P.I. for pad/road construction, highway contractors I have been involved with pay around fifty cents/CY for that amount (raw material only - they load and haul). If selling to individuals you can get 2.00 for smaller amounts, but that's loaded on their truck.

That's not too bad considering what it cost to buy/maintain/insure trucks, equipment, etc. Thanks

See, that seems cheap to me. I know of someone who owns a gravel pit and they have gotten 2.00/CY regardless of how much is purchased. That is for good clay gravel used for road bases. They are getting .50/CY for dirt.
