What is a non participating royalty interest?

My broker advised that I look into this option.

You own a a share of production, that is paid to an owner but does not have the right to explore / develop a lease, or even get bonus / rental payments. It is free of the production cost and is reduced from the royalty interest. Hope this is easy!

I've seen it being used in the Energy Industry - mainly Oil and Gas. It basically means that the royalty owner who is non-participatory gets nothing from the profits of the production from the unit.

I must add that if the royalty owner elects to ratify the lease then he or she can get something out of it. A little weird and technical - almost sounds shady! add a comment

You don't get nothing...you do get a share of production. You just don't get the lease bonus or renatl money and have no control over the lessee. add a comment

A non participating royalty interest is commonly found in oilfield leases or mineral interests. This interest will entitle you to receive your share of the gross proceeds of production if a oil/gas well is drilled on lands containing your mineral interest. You are not, however, entitled to any bonus monies paid for leasing with executive rights.

You invest money into a corporation that explores and mines natural resources (mostly oil/gas). You participate in profits from production, but do not participate in business costs or bonuses.
