Where We Buy · Montana · Lake County

Sell your Lake County mineral rights.

Polson, Ronan, St. Ignatius: an honest read on Lake County minerals, and free help with the family interests elsewhere.

Lake County is mountain country, and the oil and gas business never had much reason to come here; there is no commercial production in the county and no realistic prospect of any.

What we actually do for Lake County families is find and value the minerals they own somewhere else, eastern Montana, North Dakota, or another state entirely. Estates here turn up old royalty deeds and forgotten fractions more often than people expect. If a shoebox of mineral paperwork surfaced in the family, send it over and we will tell you what is real and what it is worth, free.

Questions

Straight answers for Lake County owners

Are minerals in Lake County worth anything?
Almost never for oil and gas, and we will tell you that honestly rather than harvest your contact information. If anyone offers you real money for minerals here, ask them to show their reasoning; we are happy to give you a free second read on any offer.
I live in Lake County but my family's minerals are somewhere else. Can you help?
Yes, and that is the most common call we get from this part of the state. Families here regularly inherit minerals in eastern Montana or North Dakota, or in another state entirely. Send whatever paperwork you have, even just a county and a family name, and we will locate the interest and value it with the work shown, free.
Our minerals are held in trust through the BIA. Can Berlin buy them?
Generally no, not outright. Allotted trust minerals transfer only through the federal process, and we will tell you that plainly rather than waste your time. Fee minerals, the kind conveyed by a recorded deed at the county courthouse, we buy regularly, and we will help you figure out which kind you own, free.
