How it works
Five stages. You can stop after any of them.
Whether you inherited a fraction, get a royalty check, or hold somebody else’s offer, the path is the same: a useful answer first. A transaction only if, and when, you ask for it.
- Public first
- Guides, county pages, the map, and the news ask nothing of you.
- Private second
- A case holds your documents and research. Nothing in it is published.
- Transaction last
- An offer or lease proposal arrives in writing, only on request.
Discover
Look around. Read a guide, open your county page, follow the news, or study the map. Public and free.
Read the guidesLocate
Open a private case. Share what is known and skip what is not. Documents live in a private case, never on the public site.
Open a private caseUnderstand
Receive your brief. A sourced Mineral Owner Brief, a map view, family links where relevant, and the open questions, each conclusion tied to a document.
The free screeningChoose
Keep, sell, or lease. Keep the interest and stay informed. Ask for a written offer. Discuss leasing. Nothing here commits you.
Which one is you?Transact
Read a written offer. One document: the interest, the price, the assumptions, the conditions, who pays what, when it expires, how you are paid. Accept, ask in writing, or decline.
Selling, step by step
The first days after you ask
Three things you can ask for
- A research screeningFree, scoped, and useful whether or not the interest fits what we buy.
- A written offerThe screening first, then an initial indication, then after title review a written offer.
- A lease conversationA separate proposal, with our role explained before any terms are discussed.
Questions owners ask
Do I have to pick a request type?
No. “Not sure yet” is an option on the form. The first reply explains which path fits what you shared.
Who sees my case?
The researchers and reviewers assigned to it, and the acquisition lead only if you ask for an offer or a lease conversation. Nothing from a case is published.
How long does it take?
During early access each case is researched by hand, so it depends on how much of the ownership picture needs confirming and how quickly county records can be pulled. You receive a confirmation first and a realistic estimate with it.
What does a county subscription have to do with my case?
Nothing, unless you want it to. Following a county is a separate, optional consent, and it is reported separately from transaction interest.
