Why Choose Cora?
If you blur your eyes, it could be easy to look at us and see just another mineral buyer with questionable motives. You know the kind.
You probably get inundated with their calls.
A lot of buyers are in the business of gobbling up holdings as quickly and cheaply as possible, leading them to pressure mineral owners and treat them unfairly. Yuck.
While we’re absolutely in the business of buying minerals, we’re guided by an entirely different set of principles.
We believe every family should have a lasting legacy. It’s why we exist: to help grow the financial legacies of our neighbors.
To grow your legacy, you need to know what industry professionals know about your holdings.
It’s our mission to give you the information you need to make great decisions for your family’s future.
Why do we behave so differently?
Because if we were in your shoes, it’s how we’d want to be treated.
Seeing how we think, you may not be surprised to learn that we have stood in your shoes. We’re mineral owners ourselves. We understand how stressful it can be, always wondering about the future value of your holding. And we know what it’s like getting all those calls from misguided buyers trying to pressure and trick you out of your minerals.
For so long, it seemed like there wasn’t a single buyer out there who’d take the time to help owners know if selling their interests was a good fit for their family’s needs. So we started Cora Minerals to fill the gap.
As oil industry professionals, we have the ability to accurately size up your mineral holdings. As mineral owners, we can really empathize with your family’s financial needs and goals.
But don’t just take our word for it.

HOW DO MINERAL BUYERS MAKE MONEY?
We’re glad you asked
Owning just one or a handful of mineral interests can be risky. It’s kind of like having all your eggs in one basket. Your holding might pay big some day, or it might never be worth much. That kind of risk makes an asset less valuable.
In order to spread out the risk mineral buyers purchase dozens or hundreds of holdings.
When they do that, the interests that produce can often make up for the cost of the ones that don’t, greatly reducing their risk. This is a prime example of the investment strategy known as diversification.
Since a diversified portfolio is less risky than owning a single interest, mineral buyers are willing to pay more for them.
By purchasing dozens of mineral holdings and packaging them into a diversified portfolio. The portfolio as a whole has lower risk, and as more assets are purchased risk is reduced increasing chances of success.
Mineral buyers use the power of diversification to make each mineral holding worth more.
CAN YOU HARNESS THE POWER OF DIVERSIFICATION, TOO?
Absolutely. If you have most of your net worth tied up in just one or a handful of mineral holdings, you’re not very diversified, meaning you’re likely exposed to higher risk.
If you want to diversify, you have two options.
You can stay in the oil business by buying up lots of other mineral rights.
You can sell your mineral interest for cash and spread your investment across a number of growth-oriented assets.
Either way, the point is to get your family legacy growing.
If you go with option two, you might invest the proceeds from your sale into income-producing real estate, stocks, bonds, your family business, or any number of other opportunities.
For example, a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds can yield 8% growth per year. If you invest that way, you could sell your mineral holding today and double its value every nine years, generating lasting wealth for your family.
