What No Other Portal Will Tell You
You might be owed money you don't even know about.
Operators put distributions in suspense and don't always tell you. When your operator works with MineralDesk™, you see those balances next to your distribution totals — in one place, without chasing a portal.

Suspense balances, plainly visible
When your operator reports a suspense balance to us, you see it next to your active distributions — no portal-hunting, no calls to ask what’s held.
Cross-operator reconciliation
We’ll spot gaps in your historical timeline that single-operator portals can’t see — and flag ones you didn’t know were missing.
We can't surface what your operators haven't submitted to us — but if it's on their books, you'll see it.
Free for mineral owners. Takes about a minute to start.
The Business Model, Plain and Simple
MineralDesk™ is free for mineral owners. Here's how that works — and why it stays that way.
We believe you shouldn't have to pay to see your own money.
Operators
Pay MineralDesk™ to deliver statements to their owners.
funds the platform
MineralDesk™
Builds, runs, and protects the dashboard.
delivers your distributions
You — Mineral Owner
Get every statement, free, forever.
Same way your bank's mobile app is free — the institutions cover the cost of better service.
No hidden fees
No subscription. No per-check fees. No credit card to sign up. Now or ever.
We don't sell your data
Your data and distribution history are encrypted and never sold, shared, or marketed to third parties.
Aligned incentives
Operators pay us to give you a better experience. The better the experience for you, the more operators want to be on the platform. Everyone wins.
What's free vs. what's coming later
The core dashboard — every distribution, every operator, every statement — is always free for mineral owners. Down the road, we may offer optional power tools (advanced tax exports, family/estate accounts, deeper analytics) for owners who want them. You'll never be required to pay for what brought you here.
No credit card. No catch. Just your profile and your distributions.
Security — In Plain English
Your data is safer here than in your filing cabinet.
We treat your data the way a bank treats your account number — encrypted, isolated, and never sold. Here's exactly what that means.
AES-256-GCM at rest
The same encryption standard used by online banking and the U.S. military. Your data is unreadable without the keys.
Versioned key rotation
Keys rotate over time and are never reused. Old keys are kept only to decrypt their own era of data.
Server-side decryption only
Your data is only ever decrypted on our servers, and only when you request a report. It never leaves the server in plain text.
Row-level access controls
Database-level rules enforce that only you can read your own rows. Other users — even other mineral owners — cannot access your data.
US-based infrastructure
All data is stored and processed in the United States. No offshore routing.
What this actually means for you
Bank-grade encryption
Your data is scrambled with AES-256 — the same standard used by online banking, the U.S. military, and your credit card processor. Without our keys, even a stolen database is unreadable.
Never sold. Never shared. Never marketed.
We don't sell data to lead-gen companies, mineral buyers, brokers, or anyone else. Period. This is written into our terms — not just our marketing.
You see who has access
Only you can view your distributions. Not other mineral owners. Not operators — they submit their own data to us, they don’t read yours. Not even our own employees without strict, audited reason.
Close anytime, identity locked
Close your account anytime — your access ends and your identifier stays reserved to you so no one else can claim it. Underlying records stay encrypted and are never sold, shared, or marketed.
Hard questions, honest answers.
Even in a worst-case breach, your data and distribution history are stored encrypted with rotating keys held separately from the database. A stolen database without the keys is a wall of unreadable text. We design for the assumption that someone will try.
No. Operators only see distributions they made to owners on their own platform — exactly what they already have in their accounting system. They never see your other operators or your full portfolio.
No. We don't share your data with the IRS or any government agency. Operators handle their own 1099 reporting to the IRS — that's between them and the IRS, not us.
We commit to a 90-day notice period before any shutdown — enough time for you to capture what you need out of the system. You're never trapped.
We don't expect blind trust — we expect to earn it.
It takes ~45 seconds. You can close your account anytime.
Stop logging into a dozen portals.
Start seeing every check in one place.
Link your profile. We do the rest. Free for mineral owners — every distribution, always.
It's your money. It's your land. It should be your dashboard.

Questions From Careful People
The things mineral owners actually ask us.
Didn't see your question? Send us a note →
Getting Started
Linking your profile takes ~45 seconds. Distributions appear as soon as we’ve matched you against the data your operators have submitted to us — going back as far as their submission goes. If they’ve sent historical reports, you see history; if they only submit forward, you see going forward.
No. Keep them if you want — they’ll keep working independently. Most users find they stop logging in to them within a month or two on their own.
We’re actively onboarding operators. If yours isn’t connected yet, link your profile anyway — your account is ready the moment they go live. (Tell us who you receive checks from — it helps us prioritize.) Email notifications when your operator comes online are on the roadmap; for now, sign in anytime to see what’s new.
Security & Privacy
Yes. You can invite your CPA as a view-only collaborator anytime. They see what they need for tax prep — nothing else. You can revoke access in one click.
Your access ends, and your identifier stays reserved to you — so no one else can claim it. Underlying records stay encrypted and are never sold, shared, or marketed. We don’t currently delete the underlying data, and we’ll always tell you what we retain in plain English.
Pricing & Access
No catch. Operators pay MineralDesk™ to deliver clean statements to their owners. You see your distributions free, forever. We may add optional premium tools later (advanced tax exports, family/estate accounts) — but the core dashboard stays free for mineral owners.
We’re early — actively onboarding mineral owners and operators. The core platform is live and working. Some features (multi-Tax-ID rollups, family/estate accounts, deeper analytics) are on the near-term roadmap. We tell you what’s built, what’s coming, and what’s not — no marketing fog.
How It Works
Yes. As we connect with each operator, we pull both current and historical distribution records associated with your profile, so you can see the full timeline — not just what arrives going forward.
You can link as many entities as you own. The dashboard rolls them up so you can see each one separately or your whole portfolio at once.
Today, each profile is tied to one MineralDesk™ account holder. Estate, beneficiary, and family-account features are on the roadmap — tell us if you need this and we’ll prioritize it.
Operator Compatibility
We work directly with operator accounting systems through partner integrations — the same systems they already use to cut your checks. No screen-scraping, no shared passwords, no "give us your portal login."
Your distributions are your own information — operators are required to make it available to you. If we can’t get it through an integration, we’ll tell you transparently, and we won’t pretend to have data we don’t.
Ready when you are.
