Land owners in parts of the United States may have rights to minerals under the surface of their lands. These minerals may include gold, copper and other natural resources such as oil, gas and coal. Most landowners don’t exploit their land for mineral resources; however mineral rights can produce sizable incomes. Earnings from mineral rights may come from the outright sale of the rights or from the lease of these rights to an Oil and Mining company.

Valuation of Oil, Gas and Mineral Rights

Landowners who already know they have mineral or other deposits under the surface of the land may be wondering how much they are worth. This is an important question to get answered before selling or leasing mineral rights. Value depends on the specific minerals’ price predictions, on past production and on estimates of future production. Land owners can hire a mining engineer to perform the mining rights valuation. Owners can also contact an Oil and Mining company that buys mineral rights to perform the valuation for them.

Selling Mining Rights for a Lump Sum Payment

Mineral rights can be sold by landowners without selling the surface land. There are many Oil, Gas and Mining companies in the business of buying these rights for future production. Land owners give up their rights to the minerals extraction for an upfront fixed price. The mineral rights under the surface can also be divided by each type of mineral. There are some advantages to selling mineral rights for upfront payment:
