RE: “We've been approached to sign a permit to conduct seismic testing by Front Runner Seismic Inc.”

Here is Front Runner Seismic’s website:  http://frseismic.com/index.php

From what they state in their website, they do not collect seismic data; instead, they obtain permits and/or provide surveying and/or line cutting for seismic contractors. They appear to be acting as an agent of a seismic data acquisition contractor.

 

At this point in time Front Runner Seismic are acting as an intermediary. I would suggest that you find out which seismic contractor they are working for (as a sub-contractor), you should determine who they are representing. I would likewise suggest that you find out the exact extent and nature of the intended seismic survey (2D?, 3D?).

 

RE: “Can I confirm that I have the rights to my minerals and if so how?”

This information should be discernible from the language contained in the deed to your property.

 

RE: “Is it still possible to lease our mineral rights?”

If you determine that you own your mineral rights, and they are not already leased – then you should be able to lease the mineral rights.

 

All IMHO,

If you need assistance in sorting out the language in your property deed, a local licensed Real Estate Agent should be able to make a quick determination.

Once you know the name of the Seismic Data Acquisition Contractor. I would suggest that you post the name of that contractor here, In the past, individuals have had good experiences with some - not so good with others. Someone may be able to comment.
