are you a mineral owner?
We Buy Mineral Rights, Thoughtfully.
You need to do something different, but what?
At Maevlo, we’ve been talking to mineral owners for decades. There are some common themes we’ve heard that might resonate with you. Monthly checks dwindle over time, you feel like selling might be a good idea but how can you know what your assets are worth? Big companies are hard to get through to with basic questions about selling. When you do get in touch, you encounter a big machine and all of your agency and negotiating powers are quickly swept off the table.
IT’S TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE, BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN:
Who is trustworthy?
What are my minerals worth?
What are the next steps?
OUR PROCESS
Trust
It can be hard to separate the crooks from the honest players. But there is a gut-level feeling of trust that you need to arrive at when making a significant decision. We understand, so let’s start at the beginning. Let’s get to know each other, first. We’ve found that the phone is the best way. We can all tell pretty quickly if it will be a good fit or not.
Traditional negotiators only care about being the winner at all costs. We’re not that way. Real, meaningful value happens when all parties feel respected and treated fairly. This is how trust is built.
Let’s sit on the same side of the table.
Value or Worth
Once we establish that base level of trust we then start work on valuation. We’ll come right alongside you to work towards a shared understanding of the real value of your assets. A part of that is hearing the story of how you came to own these assets, what they have meant in your life, your business, your family.
Then we’ll dive into the details of production history, geology, reserves, market conditions, and much more, to arrive at an objective valuation of your assets. Many fear that the values of mineral assets are purely subjective and speculative numbers plucked out of the sky to benefit the buyers only, but that’s not the case! There are reason- and data-based industry standards for assigning value to them. We’ll walk through this logic with you, and empower you with your own tools for research (if you need them).
If we can’t find terms that work for everyone, that’s no problem. We’ll step back from the trade as friends, but it’s rare that we don’t move forward together.
Working out the details
Once a shared value is established, we have a simple guide that will help you understand the transaction process. You sign some papers, the title gets filed at the courthouse, and we wire you your funds. Need something special, have a unique concern (we’ve heard plenty!), or have a question? We enjoy exploring this process with you. Just ask! Not every fund delves into opportunities in this way, but we do.
We’re eager to make this experience an open and transparent, simple, and ultimately satisfying one for everybody involved.
