Mineral Rights: What They Are and Why People Invest in Them
A variety of minerals can be found under the earth’s surface. They include fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coal, metals and metal bearing ores like gold, copper and iron, non-metallic minerals and mineable rock products such as limestone, gypsum, building stones and salt. They may also include sand, gravel, peat, marl, etc.
A mineral right is a right to extract a Mineral From the earth or to receive royalty for letting the mining company extract minerals.
Depending on the jurisdiction in the United States that supports Mineral rights, land rights may be separated from mineral, mining, oil or drilling rights which are rights to remove minerals, oil, or even water that may be contained in and under land. The owner may choose to sell the underground minerals but may desire to retain the possession and control of the surface. This works out for the mining company since they don’t want to pay to acquire the property but are only interested in the minerals underneath that property. A typical agreement between the owner and the mining company involves the owner keeping the possession of the land whereas the mining company acquiring the rights to the subsurface. This transaction generally involves all mineral commodities either known or unknown that exist beneath the land or in other cases one party may limit the transaction to a specific mineral commodity.
A mineral right falls under property rights and may be sold, transferred, or leased in a similar manner as other property rights. They are distinct from surface rights or the right to the use of the surface of the land for residential, agricultural, recreational, commercial, or other purposes and may be sold or retained separately from the surface rights, in which case the mineral rights are said to be “severed.”
Unless severed interest is sold, leased, mortgaged, or transferred by recorded instrument within the 20-year period, severed oil or gas rights revert to the surface owner after twenty years.

Your Wealth In Minerals On Your Property
We shall discuss the subject of wealth in minerals. Let’s first all look at minerals, mineral rights and surface rights. Let’s discuss the relationship between these two rights and how these rights are connected. We shall then look at the benefits of mineral rights and see mineral rights royalties a little closer.
Property owners in the US stand to gain large sums of money if their property is in a mineral rich area. The term mineral encompasses fossil fuels, metals and their ores, non-metals like gypsum, even marl, peat, sand, rocks and rubble are all included. The property rights are divided into two in the US. The surface rights are automatically yours when you buy a property. The mineral rights could be with the surface rights or could have been “severed” in which case you could own the surface rights but not the mineral rights. The mineral rights might have been sold or leased to another party by the person from whom you bought your house or he could be holding on to the mineral rights for the right party to come along.
Let’s now assume that you own both the surface and mineral rights. If there are minerals in your property a company could come along and ask you to sign a lease for transferring your mineral rights for a term. For signing this lease you are entitled to a lease bonus and mineral rights royalties. These royalties are expressed as a percentage of the production value. So higher the production of minerals the greater is the wealth you generate from your property. Of course you will be signing only for selected minerals and not all. You could sign for say oil and gas but hold on to coal or peat or any of the metals and their ores.
Mineral rights and royalties are of great benefit to the property owner who enjoys mineral rights in a mineral rich area. You should be fully conversant with your state laws on the subject and obtain consultancy from an attorney dealing with mineral rights who will guide you further in the subject.
