I see.. although that does sort of back up part of what I said,
that you do not automatically have the mineral rights to your
own property..

I suppose like most things in life, long before the ordinary
person finds out there is money to be made on something, some
rich person has already beat you to it. Mineral rights here
but also in things like the stock market where by the time
the ordinary small investor hears about some big change coming
that could make or cost them a lot of money, the rich people
have already taken advantage of it..
