To sell or not to sell? help please Divide County

Well to start off my grandfather had owned 160 acres in Divide county,ND for about 70 years now, Back in 2009 we signed a lease for 40k for 4 years (non producing) a year ago we signed another two year lease for 30k. two weeks ago I received a paper from a company offering to buy the mineral rights. The first talk was of 1k a acre just yesterday they called me back saying it would be less than 400.00 an acre. My grandfather is now 88 years old and wants to do some traveling so the money would help but we don't wanna lose or get miss out on money, anyone have any input on how the area is doing and what the going rates are?

Thanks

Not a bad Divide County well - going value of "non-producing" mineral rights in Divide Count are in the $1500 - $2000/acre. I wouldn't want to guess what producing minerals are worth now. I personally would never sell Divide County minerals - they will produce for 30 years and the Three Forks formation will also add to your nest egg over the years.
