Frequently Asked Questions
Mineral rights are the legal rights to explore for, extract, and sell minerals found beneath a piece of land. When you buy mineral rights, you're acquiring the ability to extract or lease out those resources, and to collect royalty income if the property is producing or gets leased to an operator. A person can own mineral rights separately from surface rights, meaning one person may own the land on top while another owns what's underground.
Mineral rights sales happen through private landowner transactions, brokers, auctions, and online marketplaces. LandApp's marketplace lists mineral rights for sale and for lease alongside surface acreage, giving Pro subscribers access to property data, ownership details, and map-based data layers in one place. This makes it easier to compare opportunities without piecing together records from multiple county and state sources. Mineral rights listings are a Pro-tier feature, so a LandApp Pro subscription ($6/month) is required to view them. You can view our plans and subscribe here.
Mineral rights can generate passive oil & gas royalty income and offer diversification outside of traditional stocks and real estate, but returns depend heavily on commodity prices, production decline curves, and the specific property's geology. As with any investment, doing due diligence on production history and regional activity matters more than any single rule of thumb.
The value of mineral rights is determined based on a few different factors:
-
Quantity & recoverability: How much mineral deposits can realistically be extracted profitably
-
Commodity prices: Current and projected market prices
-
Mineral type: Oil, gas, coal, lithium, gravel, etc.
-
Existing production: Producing mineral rights are usually more valuable since there is a measurable income stream
-
Location & geology: Proximity to wells, mines, pipelines, roads, processing facilities, etc.
-
Ownership: Percentage of the mineral estate and net mineral acres owned
-
Comparable sales: Prices paid for similar mineral rights in the area
-
No, LandApp does not provide mineral rights ownership information. With LandApp Pro, you can access nationwide surface ownership information for $6 monthly. To find out if you own mineral rights, check your property deed or contact the local county assessor. You can read more about how to research your mineral rights here.
Yes. Mineral rights listings, including mineral rights listed for sale and for lease, are exclusive to LandApp Pro subscribers. A Pro subscription unlocks mineral rights listings, water rights listings, and property for sale listings along with the broader natiowide property data, ownership details, transaction history, and research tools available on LandApp - features not available on the free tier. Upgrading to Pro is the fastest way to start browsing and evaluating mineral rights opportunities.
Buying mineral rights gives you full ownership of the subsurface minerals, including the right to lease them to an operator and negotiate lease terms. Buying a royalty interest (sometimes called a non-participating royalty interest, or NPRI) gives you a share of production revenue without ownership control over leasing decisions. Mineral rights buyers typically want more control and upside; royalty buyers often want simpler, more passive income.
Yes, you can lease mineral rights instead of buying them outright. Leasing is actually the more common transaction in the mineral rights space. Instead of purchasing full ownership, an operator or investor pays the mineral owner a signing bonus and negotiates a royalty rate in exchange for the right to explore and produce for a set term. For investors, evaluating a lease opportunity means comparing bonus and royalty terms across nearby tracts, which is easier when listings and ownership data are in one place. LandApp Pro subscribers can view mineral rights listed for lease alongside those for sale, making it simpler to weigh both paths side by side.
