UPRR's Mineral Lease Program
The Union Pacific Railroad Company has vast mineral holdings throughout its 23-state region. We have an active mineral lease program and are anxious to explore opportunities to lease these minerals to entities interested in developing the minerals. The railroad company itself does not actively develop the minerals. Our mineral rights are not for sale, but we are interested in leasing them, and we generally do not waive any rights we have to use the surface for exploration or production.
Unfortunately we are not able to provide research for you concerning our mineral ownership. If you are requesting this type of information, you may wish to contact a title insurance company or an attorney to provide you with any necessary research or opinions you may desire.
Information Required to Obtain a Mineral Lease
If you would like to lease minerals from us please provide the following information in writing (we are not able to receive lease applications over the phone):
- Your name, address and phone number
