People search “sell my minerals” for two reasons. You decided you want the cash, or a company decided for you and put a mineral deed in the envelope. Either way the risk is the same: signing a mineral deed is usually permanent. Mineral Vertex buys minerals and matches owners with buyers. Send the packet so we can try an offer, a match, or a counter — cross-shop before anyone records a sale.

What you are actually selling

“Minerals” on a letter can mean the fee mineral estate, a royalty slice, an override, or only certain depths. A lease is not a sale. A royalty deed is still a sale of future checks. If the granting clause says grant, bargain, and sell, treat it as a conveyance — not a bonus.

The buyer’s net mineral acres are their working number. County records, prior division orders, and (when needed) local counsel still decide what you can convey. That gap is why first-read signatures are expensive.

If you already have an offer

• Do not notarize or mail originals on the first read. Copies are enough for a review.
• Match the county and legal to the oil and gas map and the location pages.
• Send a holding reply if the letter has a Friday date that is not a court deadline.
• Use the form below so we can try an offer, a buyer match, or a counter on your deed.

If you want to sell and nobody has written yet

You still start with the same facts: where the minerals sit, whether they produce, and who can sign. A cash buyer will underwrite those facts whether you found them or they found you. Send the county and what you own so we can come back with an offer instead of you shopping a story the title will not support.

Sell by state and play

Permian math is not Haynesville math. Use the state and play pages when the letter names a basin, then come back to the form with the county on it.

Questions owners ask before a sale

I want to sell my minerals. Where do I start?

Start by typing the instrument: a mineral deed is usually a permanent sale, a lease is not. Write down the county, any well or unit name, and whether you already receive royalty. Then send that packet here. Mineral Vertex buys minerals and matches owners with buyers.

Does Mineral Vertex buy mineral rights?

Yes. We buy oil and gas minerals, and we match owners with mineral buyers. If you already have a cash offer, send it so you can cross-shop — we will try to match you with the right buyer or come back with a counter. If you want to sell and do not have an offer yet, send the county and what you own.

How do I sell inherited mineral rights?

Heirship and undivided interests are the usual bottleneck, not the buyer’s letterhead. Confirm who can convey, whether a succession or affidavit of heirship is done, and that the net mineral acres on any letter match a division order. Then send the packet here instead of signing the first form.

Should I sell producing minerals or keep the royalty?

Producing minerals are a different product from undeveloped acres. Compare any offer to recent royalty, remaining life, and whether you are selling all depths or a slice. A lump sum can make sense for an estate; it is still a sale of future checks. Send a recent stub with the letter if you have one.

Can I sell non-producing or speculative minerals?

Yes, but the number is an opinion about geology and title, not a posted price. Fringe and non-producing tracts get the same urgent envelope as core units. Match the legal description, then send it here for an offer or a counter.

How long does it take to sell mineral rights?

A buyer’s Friday deadline is usually their calendar. A sale takes as long as it takes to confirm acres and the instrument. Recording a signed mineral deed is hard to unwind, so speed is not the goal — getting a second number is.
