A. As far as leasing goes, if an operator was interested in exploring for oil/natural gas near your 500 acres, they would be contacting you to lease your land. An exploration company would usually have to have a specific interest in exploring your area before they would consider leasing your mineral rights. Finding an investor to purchase a all or a percentage of your mineral rights may be possible.

You should send a description of your property (net acres, survey, owner name, etc) to mineral buyers and seek an offer for your interest. You can send… [cont.]

A. Hopefully it means that 100% of the mineral rights "convey" with the property. I would make sure. Sometimes, part or all the mineral rights are sold from a property. You certainly wouldn't want to buy a house that sits on land if any or all of the mineral rights have been sold. Mineral right aren't just associated with oil. Mineral rights could also be associated with phosphate mining etc.
