Value of small ownership pecentage in large parcel

I inherited a small percentage of mineral rights ownership. I have recently recieved an offer to buy my small position. I question why someone would want a small stake with minimal royalties. I noticed on the mineral ownership report my stake has a different approved lease/last lease taken than the major stake holder. Why is my smaller stake more valuable?

Welcome to the forum. If you’ll post some details, like your State, County and legal description (Blk and Section or Abstract number) someone should be able to give you an idea of the current activity in your area, which is usually what drives purchase offers.

Your processor probably did a better job of negotiating. A small stake can be very valuable. Lots of investors like to pick up small acreages.
