If you have this document, keep it along with any deeds.
If you want to sell the mineral rights to another person, you can transfer them by deed. You will need to create a mineral deed and have it recorded. You should check with the county Recorder of Deeds in the county where the land is located and ask if a printed mineral deed form is available to use.

They usually go to the same agency that records titles and property deeds. The county will return the recorded original documents to the new owner.
As a mineral rights value rule of thumb, the 3X cash flow method is often used. To calculate mineral rights value, multiply the 12-month trailing cash flow by 3. For a property with royalty rights, a 5X multiple provides a more accurate valuation (stout.com).
