## Answer
Quick answer Unleased mineral rights are minerals you own that are not currently under an oil and gas lease, which can happen because there has been no operator interest, a prior lease expired, or you chose not to lease. Your options generally include waiting, negotiating a new lease if an operator approaches you, or selling the interest. Buckhead Energy is a direct buyer and provides a free written offer on leased or unleased minerals.
