What are mineral rights?

Mineral rights refer to ownership of the minerals beneath the surface of a property. These rights may be owned together with the surface property or separately. The specific ownership and rights associated with a mineral interest can vary based on deeds, leases, and other documents.

How does Madrono evaluate mineral or royalty interests?

Every interest is different. Madrono reviews available information about your ownership, location, existing production or development activity, and other relevant factors to develop an evaluation specific to your interests.

Am I obligated to sell if I request an evaluation?

No. Requesting an evaluation does not obligate you to sell your mineral or royalty interests. The evaluation is intended to give you additional information so you can consider your options and decide what makes sense for you.

What information do I need to request an evaluation?

Start with whatever information you have. Helpful information may include the state and county where your interests are located, legal descriptions, deeds, leases, division orders, royalty statements, or other ownership documents. If you don't have everything available, you can still contact Madrono to start the conversation.
