The Real Estate Investor’s Treasure Trove: Mineral Rights

We often associate mineral rights with oil and gas—some of the lowest cost minerals to extract. However, wouldn’t drilling for minerals or extracting them like sipping through a straw unlock a world of possibilities? Advancements in technology and accidental discoveries may just make this unconventional thinking a reality.

Value in the Unexpected: Lithium in Wells

Imagine the unconventional becoming reality—solid minerals like lithium being obtained from wells. This year, an unexpected discovery was made in examining the waste frack water from wells drilled in the Marcellus Shale. High concentrations of lithium were found, so high that the lithium recovered could potentially fulfil nearly 40% of the U.S. domestic demand for lithium batteries. This research from the University of Pittsburgh is a paradigm shift in the extraction of minerals.

Embracing Change: The Real Estate Investor’s Perspective

Are the economics of drilling for lithium or purchasing sunset oil and gas wells for secondary fracking worth it? We might not have the answers yet. However, these exciting possibilities open up a new lens for real estate investors. Viewing property from a perspective where even waste frack water could hold potential wealth could potentially redefine the industry.
