The royalty is actually a fixed dollar amount per X weight of product sold - so not inflation protected.

Since this has been a thing since the 1800s, wouldn't it be paying out pennies per ton at this point? There has been a lot of inflation in the last 150 years.

True, though this is an unspecified fraction of the royalties.
