Royality payments going up and down!!!!

My aunt has about 10 acres not far from Longwood general store and has signed a lease a few years ago and she said that her royality payments go up and down depending on activity has anyone experienced this that has already have leases.

Royalty income will always be dependent on the current value of the product which is being leased. Hope this is the case.
