Since a substantial proportion of the State of Utah is state land for purposes of mineral regulation, we have provided the Hutte Score on the basis of the lower of the federal and state ratings. This has negatively impacted on the state's score and is not entirely surprising given that modern mining regulation rarely offers the kind of protection that one finds in the federal General Mining Law of 1872. Overall, a Hutte Score of 59 still leaves Utah in the top half of the world and most of the land in Utah is, in fact, federal land where the regulatory environment is rated much higher.
