One (1) surface (mineral) acre has eight (8) royalty acres
And it is likely that some portion of those eight royalty acres are burdened by a royalty to a mineral owner. If that royalty is a quarter (2 RA), then Mainland would be selling 6 royalty acres per net mineral acre. Whether the minerals are covered by a lease with royalty or not, this is quite strange behavior for a company touting the prospects of their "discovery" well and does not support comments made in this discussion that MNLU has a strong capital position based on their $40M line of credit.
Skip,

I understand that one (1) surface (mineral) acre has eight (8) royalty acres.

How was the number eight (8) derived at for royalty acres?
Royalty acres are based on a one-eighth royalty which was the standard for many years. A net mineral acre contains eight eighths. Under a one-eighth royalty lease each mineral acre contains 8 royalty acres. A lease with a royalty of one quarter makes a net mineral acre equal to 4 royalty acres.
FYI one reason it took Chevron so long to drill is that they had to rig down I think 3 times because of the Mississippi River rising. Just take a look at a topo and you will see that Ashlan Plt. is overflow river bottom. Supposedly MR spent a lot on roads so this should not be a problem until spring.

The History of GoHaynesvilleShale.com

GoHaynesvilleShale.com (GHS) was launched in 2008 during a pivotal moment in the energy industry, when the Haynesville Shale formation—a massive natural gas reserve lying beneath parts of northwest Louisiana, east Texas, and southwest Arkansas—was beginning to attract national attention.
