Mineral & Natural Resource Appraisals
Expert Opinion / Alternative Dispute Resolution
Mineral & Natural Resource Appraisals
We appraise mineral interests nationwide — oil and gas, coal, aggregates, industrial minerals, and metallic ore bodies — at every stage from speculative and exploration-held ground through permitted reserves, active surface and underground operations, and reclamation. Our work also extends to large acreage tracts where extraction is one of several competing uses, alongside timber, conservation, recreation, agriculture, and development potential.

Mineral & Natural Resource Appraisals
We value operating businesses across the natural resource extraction sector — mining, oil and gas, aggregates, and industrial minerals — along with the energy, materials, and service companies that supply them. These engagements demand more than a conventional enterprise valuation: value depends on the reserves in the ground, the equipment and property interests used to reach them, and the permits and contracts that make production possible. We have combined expertise in business valuation, mineral appraisal, and real property valuation.

Expert Opinion / Alternative Dispute Resolution
LC Valuation Group serves both as a retained expert and as a jointly retained neutral in mineral, natural resource, and land disputes nationwide. We provide expert opinions, appraisal reviews, and testimony in litigation, condemnation, tax, and valuation matters, and we serve as a neutral where parties want the valuation question resolved outside a contested proceeding — rendering an independent opinion of value, reviewing competing appraisals to identify what actually drives the difference, or establishing the technical parameters both sides can work from

Neutral Services
Mineral and natural resource disputes usually turn on technical questions — reserve classification, recoverable tonnage, royalty rates, price forecasts, discount rates, highest and best use of a severed estate. These are questions that benefit from an expert with extensive experience with mineral valuation.
