James Honored His Granddad’s Wishes
James Henderson works hard to provide for his family managing his company’s IT security department. But many decades before, his grandfather purchased some mineral rights, which were passed down to James.
Like many mineral owners, he’d spent years dealing with the complexities of ownership. There was a lot of headache and seemingly little financial gain. At times, James considered selling, but he wanted to do right by his family.
One day, while moving old boxes from his parents’ house, James found the letters his granddad had written. As he read, he learned that his granddad had purchased the minerals with one purpose: passing down a financial legacy to his family. His granddad didn’t want to frustrate and burden the family. Instead, his hope was that his descendants could use the investment as a tool to help them live better lives.
If James could sell his minerals at their real market value and reinvest the proceeds wisely, he would be doing exactly as his granddad wanted.
“It was pretty clear that I was fulfilling what my ancestors actually wanted out of that land.”
But now he faced another challenge. Who could he trust to purchase his minerals for what they were really worth?
Over the years, he’d received numerous calls from mineral buyers. The calls were all the same. The buyer would rush through the conversation, take in very little information, throw out a seemingly random offer, and pressure him to take it.
He was starting to lose hope. That’s when Cora Minerals called.
“I have 21% gains on my investments to this date. I have enough money to live comfortably and pass on to my kids.”
Jean Built A Lasting Legacy for Her Family
Jean Gist comes from a ranching family that worked cattle in West Texas since the late 1800s. Her family has owned land and minerals for generations, and for more than a century, they’d been weathering the many booms and busts of the oil and gas business.
But as Jean got older, she realized that the fluctuating royalties she received from her minerals didn’t fit her family’s needs.
“We just decided it was time to diversify so we could build a bigger legacy for our children and grandchildren.”
Jean’s goal was to build a stable, safe, and growing financial legacy. After speaking with her financial advisor and learning about the different investment options that better fit her needs, she saw that by selling her minerals and reinvesting the proceeds, she could secure the legacy she had always dreamed of for her family.
Then one day Cora called, and Jean quickly discovered that she had found a mineral buyer she could count on to help accomplish her goals.
“I feel so fortunate that we as a family have been able to deal with Cora Minerals... They have always done exactly what they said they were going to do.”
Jim, Taking Care of Everyone Near and Dear to Him
Jim Fulton is a kind-hearted family man who will do just about anything for anybody. He’s always putting other people first.
His family had been involved in the oil & gas business for 60 years, and over the years, he’d been contacted countless times by dozens of different mineral buyers. It seemed they all just wanted to talk him out of his interest.
“You pick up the phone and someone’s wanting to purchase your rights on what it’s worth to you, not what it’s worth,” he said. “A few times of that and you find yourself not wanting to talk to anyone.”
Then his health began to fail, and he was struggling to cover medical costs. He knew that if he sold his minerals he could pay off the doctors’ bills and secure his family’s future.
“Although you’re letting go of something that you have, what you’re gaining is a future that you can absolutely call solid.”
Since he wasn’t an industry professional, he didn’t know who to trust or where to start. But then he got a call from Cameron with Cora Minerals.
Jim was suspicious at first, but as the conversation progressed, Jim noticed that Cameron was different. Cameron knew exactly what he was talking about when it came to Jim’s property, and as Jim felt comfortable asking harder questions, he found that Cameron could really answer them.
That kind of knowledge and transparency really stood out. It was the first time anyone had ever taken the time to explain exactly what Jim owned and what was driving the value of it.
