FAQ
One important factor you must keep in mind is that if real estate contains mineral rights, simply buying the property doesn't make you the owner of them. Since mineral rights can be sold separately from the land itself, even if you own the land, someone else may hold ownership of what's below it.
Mineral rights are often sold separately from the land they are on. You may have title to the mineral rights on a property you own, or a previous owner may have sold or leased them in which case, they may not be yours to sell. But there is no need to abandon the idea of monetizing your mineral reserves!

Mineral rights don't come into effect until you begin to dig below the surface of the property. But the bottom line is: if you do not have the mineral rights to a parcel of land, then you do not have the legal ability to explore, extract, or sell the naturally occurring deposits below.
Mineral rights are the ownership rights to underground resources such as fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal, etc.), metals and ores, and mineable rocks such as limestone and salt. In the United States, mineral rights are legally distinct from surface rights.
