Natural Resource Partners L.P. (NRP) is a diversified natural resource company that owns, manages, and leases mineral properties across the United States, primarily focusing on coal and trona ore. The company operates through two main segments: Mineral Rights, which encompasses approximately 13 million acres of mineral interests and subsurface rights, and Soda Ash, representing its 49% non-controlling interest in Sisecam Wyoming LLC, a significant trona ore mining and soda ash producer. NRP's mineral rights assets are crucial for steel, electricity, and building material manufacturing, with additional opportunities in carbon sequestration and renewable energy. Its soda ash investment provides an essential ingredient for glass, solar panels, detergents, and electric vehicle batteries. The company's business model relies on leasing its acreage to extraction companies in exchange for royalties and fees, thereby avoiding direct operational risks.

Revenue is primarily driven by royalties from coal leases, which are typically based on a percentage of sales prices or a fixed per-ton royalty, often supported by minimum payment obligations. Additional revenue streams include fees from coal transportation and processing assets, oil and gas royalties, industrial mineral and aggregate royalties, and emerging carbon neutral initiatives.
