What is the current going rate for Ritchie County, Clay District leases? I have a tiny share in some rights and need some information on the bonus and royalty percentage. Thanks, Jane Lyttle

I have heard of recent offers of $1000 to $1500 an acre and 15%. That is the starting offer. A year ago I heard of $3000 an acre and 18% starting offer. I have read on the internet that things are picking back up including in a neighboring county so maybe the numbers are getting higher again. Of course there are many aspects of a good lease beyond those numbers.
I’d recommend getting an attorney involved even for a small amount, at least ask about it. A good local Ritchie County attorney is Scott Windom or others at the Windom Law Offices in Harrisville, Ritchie County (on Courthouse Square right next to the courthouse).

A good attorney on this forum is Kyle Nuttall [Nuttall Legal](http://www.nuttalllegal.com/)
I’m sure there are others. Start with contacting them and see what they say.
