A mutual fund that invests in mineral rights  could work. The investors would be share holders of the fund, the fund would purchase the minerals. It can work and be very successful. Or a bunch of investors could start a business with the same concept.

U.S. Royalty Trusts

U.S. Royalty Trusts are another 'pass through' vehicle available to get income fro the corporation to the individual with only 1 level of taxation (the individual income tax).

IN GENERAL

Trusts have no employees

Own no land or any other hard asset, except the right to receive either a percentage of net income or revenue from a production asset someone else owns

Trusts have a finite life--either when a certain amount of asset (oil, gas etc) has been extracted from the ground, a certain period of time has passed or in some cases determined upon the death of certain individuals

Invest in companies that are drilling in these shale plays. I prefer the smaller companies with good known areas in the plays. Recently purchased MHR and HK. Take a look at them.
