    • Dorchester Minerals, L.P. announced that long-time leader and co-founder William Casey McManemin will retire from the Board of Managers effective December 31, 2025, with Robert C. Vaughn serving as Interim Chairman and Albert G. Nance III joining the board from January 1, 2026.
    • By naming McManemin Chairman Emeritus while elevating fellow co-founder Vaughn and adding industry veteran Nance, the partnership is signaling an emphasis on continuity of governance alongside fresh oil and gas expertise.
    • We’ll explore how this leadership transition, especially Vaughn’s interim chairmanship, could shape Dorchester Minerals’ investment narrative in the months ahead.

    What Is Dorchester Minerals' Investment Narrative?

    To own Dorchester Minerals today, you really have to believe in the durability of its royalty model and its ability to keep converting a relatively fixed asset base into distributable cash, even after a year of weaker revenue and sharply lower earnings. The stock has already pulled back heavily year to date, suggesting the near term catalyst list is short: investors are watching for stabilization in quarterly distributions and progress on resolving the Nasdaq audit committee compliance issue. Against that backdrop, the McManemin retirement and Vaughn’s interim chair role look more like continuity than disruption, especially with another veteran operator, Nance, joining the board. Unless governance surprises emerge around the Nasdaq cure process, this leadership transition itself does not appear to materially change the core risks or upside drivers.

    However, one governance-related risk could matter more than it first appears for unitholders. Despite retreating, Dorchester Minerals' shares might still be trading above their fair value and there could be some more downside. Discover how much.
