Our
Program
We
do the research and find areas of interest for oil and gas exploration and
drilling. We go to the lease sales and purchase the necessary oil and gas
lease(s) on your behalf. The leases will be held by us for your benefit. You
will receive all the overriding royalty (ORR) interest from the lease on the net
production from each well drilled on your lease. (See financial example below)
We assist you in negotiating with drilling companies in the area for the best
deal to drill on your leases.
As
you may know the key to success in this area is understanding the geology and
having the foresight to purchase the right leases. We concentrate our efforts in
acquiring leases with the best potential of becoming producing properties. Our geologists have worked the Rocky Mountain region for over
45 years and know the best areas to concentrate our efforts for lease
acquisitions.
Once
a lease is acquired, we will prepare a geologic evaluation of the lease prepared
by our certified geologist for submission to prospective oil and gas drilling
companies.
We will then assist you in negotiating the best deal with a drilling
company.

HOW
YOU MAKE MONEY
You
receive the overriding royalty (ORR) payments from the net production of oil and
gas (hydrocarbons) from each well on your leases plus any bonuses paid for the
assignment of your lease to a drilling company.
Royalties
are one of the greatest money making system in the world. You do nothing except
acquire and maintain the lease and you receive a percentage of the income from
each and every barrel of oil or cubic foot of gas produced and sold from your
lease. Production may be anywhere from a few barrels of oil per day to 1,000
barrels per day and more. The normal range of a lease owners overriding royalty
on federal leases are 2-7% although this will vary and could go as high as a
10%ORR. There are a few minor taxes involved and the variables of daily oil
price, production flow, etc will vary from well to well.
Potential
Income per well, an example:
- Assuming: $80.00 per barrel of oil x 100 barrels per day x 2% ORR = $160
per day;
- Assuming: $80.00 per barrel of oil x 100 barrels per day x 4% ORR =
$320.00 per day;
- Assuming: $80.00 per barrel of oil x 100 barrels per day x 6% ORR =
$480.00 per day;
- Assuming: $80.00 per barrel of oil x 100 barrels per day x 7% ORR =
$560.00 per day;
Based
on the above assumptions the monthly income could be $4,800 to $16,800 per
month. For variations in prices for oil or quantities of production just
substitute in the formula above.
Since
the daily production will vary over the life of a well the daily income could
vary substantially. Some wells produce up to 40 years. There will be some down
time each year for maintenance and repairs but the royalty income can still be
substantial over the life of an oil well.
This is all yours. We do not take any royalty
interests or percentage of your income from your leases.
HOW
OIL AND GAS ROYALTIES WORK
Federal
and State oil and gas leases are leases of public land for oil and gas
exploration. Not all public land is available for oil and gas leases. The Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) on behalf of the Federal government holds scheduled
public auctions of public land it deems appropriate for oil and gas exploration.
We can also nominate certain land for auction. This is a selective process. The
U.S. government normally retains a 12.5% overriding royalty (ORR) on the oil and
gas production from public land. The states retain a similar varied overriding
royalty on land it sells at public auction.
By
definition, an overriding royalty (ORR) is a share of production free and clear
of the costs of production, curved out of the lessee’s (drilling company or
operator) interest under an oil and gas lease. This is the money you make, plus
any signing bonuses. This ORR is negotiable but ranges from approximately 2% to
7.5% depending on the desirability of the subject lease. Plus, there is often a
one-time bonus paid called a lease acreage fee. All these factors are subject to
negotiation with the drilling company or operator of the well.
There
may be a couple of weeks per year wells are down for maintenance, etc when there
is no production or royalties paid.
Leases may also be included with adjoining leases to form a Unit in which
the drilling companies want to control as large a lease block as possible to
drill more wells and to cover more production acreage. In this case each lease
normally shares a proportionate share of the Unit’s overall production.
STATE
AND FEDERAL LEASES
As
we mentioned, anyone can bid for State and Federal oil and gas leases. Most
leases are acquired by the big oil companies or independent oil and gas
companies but by law even the little guy has a right to bid for them and that is
why we help you be one of the oil and gas ‘players’ in acquiring oil and gas
leases.
The
Federal leases are for periods of 10 years. Until production is achieved, the
BLM charges a small nominal fee of $1.50 – $2.00 per acre each year to
maintain the lease starting with the first year anniversary of the acquisition
date. Once the lease has commercial production the lease may be held for the
term of production at no further cost.
State
lease are for five or ten years depending on the state with small yearly fees
until there is production on the lease.
With the price of oil getting higher and higher and the fear of ‘Peak
Oil’ fast approaching, the increased activity in the oil business offers us
excellent opportunities to get drilling activity on more and more leases. This
means more opportunities for you as an oil and gas lease owner.
A
SCHEDULE OF BUYING LEASES
A program of buying leases on a continuing
schedule is the best chance of hitting it big. It is important to have a number
of leases in different states and areas that diversify your holdings. At any one
time different states may have the most exciting oil prospects. The oil and gas
formations and trends may cover large areas and offer many different
opportunities. We are able to move quickly and we like to stay ahead of the
trends. That is why we concentrate on getting the best leases as early as we
can. That is why it is best to diversify and buy a number of leases in different
areas and states.

PROSPECTS TO CONSIDER
We
are natural resource exploration specialists. We have a number of natural
resources prospects available. Please check out the following for other
investment opportunities.
Gold
Discovery, LLC
Mr.
Murer has pioneered the geologic theory that is the basis for what we believe
could be one of the BIGGEST GOLD DEPOSITS IN THE WORLD near Goldfield, Nevada.
(See www.GoldDiscoveryNV.com)
The
underlying geology of the Goldfield / Tonopah mineral zones arises from the
volcanic eruptions that took place during the Miocene period (20-23 million
years ago) along a ridge of mountains that contain huge mineral deposits that
have been mined for many years in the region from zones of volcanic vents.
To
date, the Goldfield/ Tonopah area has produced approximately 5.9 million ounces
of gold, 175 million ounces of silver and 7.7 million ounces of copper. (Geologic
Report)
The
tremendous volumes of ascending fluids that created the bonanza of gold, silver
and lithium deposits of the Goldfield and Tonopah districts would have descended
down the flanks of the existing strato-volcanoes to accumulate and evaporate in
the adjacent “reserve pit” formed by the Cambrian rock dam know today as the
Paymaster Ridge. These fluids erupted for over one million years (USGS Bulletin
Number 1646).
Geologic
evidence suggests this natural basin existed at the time of the epithermal
mineralization and it is not difficult to imagine the massive paleo-evaporate
tabular ore concentration that may now underlie the placer accumulation. (Geologic Cross
Section)
During
the initial violent stages of the eruption, the potential of molten metals to be
ejected from the volcanic vents would have also been likely. To date no drilling
has been done to test the bottom of the ‘reserve pit’ for accumulation of
metals that could contain a world class gold deposit. If you are interested in
gold mining claims please see our web site at www.GoldDiscoveryNV.com.
Proton
Uranium Corporation
Mr.
Christian F. Murer pioneered the geologic theory that gave him the insight to
find the original mining claims for the largest underground uranium mine in the
United States, the Tony M Mine in Ticaboo, Utah. Over $200,000,000 has been
spent in developing the Tony M Mine and Mr. Murer is now receiving guaranteed
royalties on the uranium mined from his claims.
The
same proprietary geology theories that were the basis of the discovery for the
uranium mining claims for the Tony M Mine is now being applied to the staking
and claiming of the next round of uranium mining claims in Utah. If you are
interested in uranium mining claims please see our web site at www.ProtonUranium.com.
Lithium
Discovery, LLC
Chemetall
Foote Lithium Mine is the largest operating lithium mine in the United States
and is located approximately 5 miles from our lithium prospect area in Esmeralda
County, Nevada. This production area has the highest lithium brines content of
any brines tested by the US Geological Survey in playas and basins of the
southwestern United States. That may be why there are three different companies
in our immediate area looking for key lithium discoveries in addition to the
Chemetall Foote mine production.
We
are in, what we believe, is the sweet spot for lithium brines exploration with
similar geologic features and terrain as the Chemetall Silver Peak Mine. Our
prospect area is ideally situated as a potential lithium brine mining property.
