A quick overview of the differences between mineral rights and royalty interests shows a mineral interest is a real property interest obtained by severing the minerals from the surface and a royalty interest grants an owner a portion of the production revenue generated.

WHO OWNS THESE MINERAL RIGHTS? In Canada, property owners generally hold the surface rights, while mineral rights are usually owned by the provincial government.

A solid black circle on your property indicates that you own the mineral rights; a half circle means that the Crown or a third party owns them. A title search at the land registry will also confirm separation of mining and surface rights.

The Crown owns 81% of the mineral rights (approximately 53.7 million hectares of land). * Homesteaders or Freehold Landowners have the responsibility to pay Freehold Mineral Tax on revenue derived from production.

In Idaho, you simply have to obtain a power of attorney form, select which powers to grant, and then sign the document in the presence of one witness, although the witness cannot be your spouse or the agent you selected.

The power of attorney does not need to be notarized or recorded to be valid. However, if the power is recorded, any revocation of the power by a writing must also be recorded before the revocation is effective.
