Don’t Forego Your Mineral Rights

There are important factors a property owner in the USA should be aware of. The first of these is the definition of the term ‘minerals’ that encompasses the fossil fuels, oil, gas, coal and peat and metals and their ores as well. Also included are non-metals like gypsum besides marl, stone, sand and gravel. Secondly owning a property doesn’t automatically entitle you to the mineral rights associated with that property. It’s quite possible that the mineral rights have been severed from surface rights and sold, leased or bequeathed to a company. So it’s important for you to confirm that you also own the mineral rights to your property. This ownership will entitle you to earn mineral rights royalties once you lease your mineral rights to a company.

The next step to earning your mineral rights royalties is to find out what all minerals your property may contain. This is not a very difficult proposition. As a matter of fact with exploration for oil, gas and other minerals going on all over the country any good geologist should be able to conduct a survey in and around your property and advise you of the likelihood of your property being in a mineral rich region.

One of the most important activities is to know of your legal rights concerning your minerals. You must familiarize yourself with the state laws related to mineral rights first. It’s always a great idea to hire the consultancy of a good oil and gas attorney who will guide you throughout the entire process beginning with drawing up a fullys comprehensive lease document, carrying out negotiations with the company and being your adviser till the exploitation of minerals is completed.

It’s also a good idea for you to be aware of the potential for minerals in your area. Consult your neighbors and find out the market trend pertaining to the bonus amount and the mineral rights royalties prevailing in your area. Your power of negotiation varies depending upon the size of your property and the market rates prevailing. Be prepared with all the facts and then negotiate towards a favorable lease.
