What do you need to know about the market value of minerals in Dunn County North Dakota?
“Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.”
Confucius
Why do passenger airline pilots go through years of training before taking to the skies? Clearly they have to be trained, but more importantly they have to fail. Today’s modern pilots undergo years of flight training before their first flight. They are asked to manage near impossible weather conditions, mechanical and instrumentation failures and physical and emotional challenges. They are pushed to the brink of failure by their instructors for the sole purpose of forcing them to fail. That’s right. Fail. Eventually, these pilots figure out how to manage each of these challenges and by the time they transport their first passenger they have flown countless successful flights. When boarding a plane, I am comforted to know that my pilot has undergone such training ahead of time and they are without a doubt prepared for what lies ahead.
So, why spend so much time talking about airline pilots?

You need help.
There comes a time, when you have to throw up your hands and just say I need help. Now is the time. At this point you have a few options available to you:
1 – Mineral Rights Appraisal – If you own a large tract of land, we suggest you consider a mineral rights appraiser to determine the value of your property. We say large tract of land, because it can often be time consuming and expensive to get this done. However, it could be the wise thing to do. With that, if you are looking to sell your mineral rights, please keep in mind this is just an appraisal. The true value of your mineral rights when selling is what the highest bidder is willing to pay.
2 – Research – Google is an amazing thing. It is likely you found us by searching for something like “market value of minerals in Dunn County North Dakota”. You are making an attempt to educate yourself about an upcoming decision or you are just curious. In either case, you are very likely not going to have much luck.
