Mineral Rights Ventures
What lies beneath a parcel can outweigh what sits on it. We partner with owners who would rather share in that future than sell it short.
From Wyoming, home to some of the most significant mineral resources in the country, to holdings abroad, owners are often underserved. Many owners are approached by landmen offering terms that favor only the buyer. We take a longer view, forming ventures in which the owner keeps a meaningful interest.
We consider severed and unsevered estates, surface-only holdings near active plays, and acreage in areas where exploration is forecast but not yet underway.
How these deals are often structured
01
Joint venture with retained royalty or working interest
02
Purchase of surface with mineral participation
03
Option agreements tied to exploration milestones
