MRP 283: Mineral Rights News May 2025

In this month’s news, we discuss moves by the Trump administration to accelerate energy project approvals and development of critical minerals like lithium, latest Arkansas lithium developments, how the industry is responding to falling oil prices and economic uncertainty from tariffs.  Meanwhile, natural gas prices remain stable, providing some security for royalty owners during a period of oil price volatility, and we give an update on the current drilling activity across major U.S. basins! As always, links to the articles discussed can be found in the show notes at mineralrightspodcast.com.
