At Black Hawk, we understand that mineral owners often struggle with the decision of whether to sell or keep their minerals. Below are a few reasons to consider as you think through this process:

• Selling your minerals will result in a lump sum cash payout today vs. waiting for payouts to occur over many years.
• A Cash payout today may result in financial flexibility and the opportunity to redirect cash into other investments.
• Just because an oil and gas company may have recently leased your minerals, it does NOT guarantee that a well will be drilled on your minerals or that oil or gas will be discovered.
• Oil and gas production is a depleting asset. All oil and gas wells follow a decline after their initial production.
• Future oil and gas price uncertainties
• Cleaning up an Estate or Trust
• Elimination of Paperwork
• Tax Return Simplicity
