Does anybody know of any Banks who are/will lend using the Mineral Rights as collateral?  Would prefer to borrow instead of selling a portion.  Thanks for your input.

As collateral or as an income source?

As collateral for a loan.

No banker in their right mind will lend on mineral rights.

The reason is they don't know how to price the asset or quantify the risk of the asset.

And even if they did, Federal guidelines won't allow them to incorporate that kind of risk in their portfolio, either to keep or to sell on any secondary market..

I would never sell mineral rights, either.

Chinese banks have been using minerals and commodities as collateral for years now.  It came out last week that some of that collateral (read: hundreds of millions of $ worth of copper) didn't "exist" in the sense that the banks had hoped.

Yes, and Deutsche Bank loaned what, half a billion on Chessie's assets in the northern Utica?

And if Chessie defaults, DB can keep the collateral. ~

Fair 'nuf. point well taken.

The poster is welcome to attempt the effort.

But we're not these big money entities, are we?

And he isn't talking about your local/regional/or even national bank.

The reference seemed to be retail banking, particularly in the USA.

There are banks that will lend money on producing minerals. It's called reserve based lending. Don't know about non producing though...

To a retail customer? at a retail branch? With little or no prior relationship in the O/G Business?
