What used to be an afterthought in mineral rights conveyances and reservations, “other minerals,” is now central to global strategy. HELG’s latest presentation explains why lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements are no longer marginal. These are strategic resources tied to economic strength and military capability. China controls 90% of rare earth processing. The U.S. is responding, but the timeline is tight. Energy and legal professionals should be tracking this shift closely.

Who owns the lithium in your produced water? The Texas Supreme Court just clarified that produced water usually belongs to the lessee—unless the lease says otherwise. Why does that matter? Because critical minerals like lithium are showing up in that water. And if your lease includes “other minerals,” you may already have the rights to extract lithium. The Water ruling reinforces the dominant estate doctrine and opens the door to a valuable new revenue stream. But it all hinges on lease language.
