Do you own property? Could you use an extra fifty thousand dollars? A hundred thousand? A million? Have you considered a mineral rights lease? A mineral rights lease is an agreement that you can make with a mining company that allows them to explore for and extract valuable minerals from your land in exchange for a percentage of the value of the material that the company Lease Extraction gathers from your property. You retain the ownership of your land and the company with which you enter in to the agreement takes care of all the rest.
Mining companies prefer this type of agreement, as they don't have to take a significant risk by purchasing a potentially underperforming property and the landowner enjoys the benefit of not having to hire expensive geological survey consultants or invest in specialized extraction equipment. Also, these specialized companies are typically experienced in matters such as obtaining permits, have supply and distribution networks and agreements with large companies in place to provide large amounts of materials to bulk purchasers. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement for both parties to enter into a mineral rights lease however if this is your first time entering into such an arrangement it's advised that you consult with an independent attorney experienced in such matters in order to protect your rights and interests, reduce your exposure to potential liability and ensure that the mining company with which you engage in a mineral rights lease extracts materials from your property in an environmentally responsible fashion.
Typically a mineral rights lease will pay the property owner between %10 and %20 of the net value of the materials extracted. For example, if the mining company you enter the agreement with processes $1,000,000 of coal from your land, you could receive up to $50,000! In these uncertain economic times alternative sources of income must be considered. No matter what the state of the economy is there is always a demand for materials required for energy production and manufacturing.
