Why sell mineral rights?

Understanding Mineral Rights and Royalties

Mineral rights and royalties are valuable assets that often lie beneath the surface of your property. These assets grant you the legal right to the minerals found beneath your land, including oil, natural gas, coal, metals, and other valuable resources. While owning mineral rights can be financially beneficial, there are compelling reasons why you might choose to sell them.

What are Mineral Rights?

Mineral rights are a set of legal rights that allow the holder to extract, mine, and profit from the minerals found beneath a specific property. These rights are separate from surface rights, which pertain to the use and ownership of the land's surface. When you own mineral rights, you can benefit financially from the extraction and production of minerals by producers on your property.

Understanding Royalties

Royalties are the financial compensation you receive as the owner of mineral rights when minerals are extracted from your land. Typically, royalties are a percentage of the revenue generated from the sale of these minerals. Royalty agreements are negotiated between mineral rights owners and production companies.

What do I own?

Mineral interests are complex, and it’s possible that you may not know if or how much you own. We have the tools, knowledge, and industry insight to determine what mineral rights you hold and will work with you to unravel the complexities of mineral ownership.

Why Consider Selling Your Mineral Rights?

  • Selling all or a portion of your mineral rights can provide an immediate injection of cash, which can be especially valuable in times of financial need or for pursuing other investment opportunities.

  • Mineral exploration and extraction come with inherent risks, including fluctuations in commodity prices, operational costs, and environmental responsibilities. By selling your mineral rights, you transfer these risks to the buyer, ensuring a predictable income stream without exposure to industry volatility.

  • Managing mineral rights can be complex, particularly if you own rights across multiple properties or regions. Selling these rights can streamline your asset portfolio, making it easier to manage your overall financial interests.

  • By selling mineral rights, you can diversify your investment portfolio and reduce your dependence on a single asset class, enhancing your overall financial stability.

  • Selling mineral rights allows you to enjoy the financial benefits without exposure to commodity, operations, timing or environmental risks associated with mineral extraction.
