Royalty Percentage Question

Is it common, or appropriate, to negotiate a royalty percentage on a minerals lease?

For instance, if a company offers a royalty percentage of 22.5% on a new lease, but previously the same minerals were leased, by a different company, for 25% royalty.

Have I completely confused everyone? LOL. Thank you!

Absolutely. In the hot areas there are also rumors of higher than 25%.

Thank you so very much for your reply. Might you know if there is a way to research which areas are “hot”?
