Types of Development Delays

‍

Any number of issues could lead to delays in development. The people you are doing business with may not be forthcoming about the cause of the delays. However, you have a right to protect your financial interests. This means that you should be aware of common issues that could lead to delay in the development of your mineral interest and could affect your rights to royalties or other payments:

‍

• Insolvency: A mining company or other developer to whom you sold your mineral rights may go bankrupt before beginning the extraction process. A company could also run out of money in the middle of production after extraction. Regardless of the cause of the insolvency, it could mean that you don’t see royalties. Rather than wait around for the developer to crawl out of bankruptcy, you should contact a mineral broker to explore your options.
• Government restrictions: Sometimes even a well-planned and funded extraction process could come to a full stop because of government restrictions. These restrictions take different forms. For example, new laws could restrict where mineral extractions may place. Another issue that could arise is the discovery of an endangered species in a mineral extraction site which triggers provisions of the federal Endangered Species Act. If you’re tired of waiting for royalties due to government restrictions, our mineral brokers will connect you with a network of buyers that will provide more immediate compensation.
• Shut-ins or equipment malfunction: On occasion, construction of extraction tools may not keep up with market demand. This means that by the time a mineral interest is extracted and produced, there may not be enough interested purchasers. When this happens in the oil and gas field, producers may elect to temporarily cease or “shut in” production. If your lease includes shut-in royalty provisions, there’s a possibility of receiving annual payments when production ceases. If you are frustrated by delays in production, contact the brokers at The Mineral Auction to learn more about your options.
• Inattention or abandonment: If production ceases, a lease may be terminated. At that point, you may be able to sell your mineral rights to a new buyer. If you suspect that termination ceased beyond the primary term, you should contact our experienced mineral brokers.

Any of these development delays can cause serious financial issues for you, your business partners, or your family. Contact a mineral broker to discuss your rights and options.
