Mineral rights are the ownership of what's under the ground — like oil, gas, or minerals — which can be separate from owning the surface.
Mineral rights are the ownership interest in subsurface resources of a property, which may be severed and conveyed or leased independently of surface rights.
Whether mineral rights come with a property can affect its value and use, which matters when buying or financing farmland.
A parcel might be sold with the surface but with mineral rights retained by a previous owner.
