What constitutes good-faith operations for the discovery and production of minerals ?

What counts as a good faith effort ? We sold land in 1998 , Had a lease offer in 2006 that went till 2009, they struck gas in 2009 and now say we have no mineral interest due to prescription.  What can I do to prove we interrupted prescription through good faith operations ?
