Frequently Asked Questions

NatGold Digital Ltd. is a privately held C Corporation registered in the state of Nevada.

The company’s corporate head office is located at:

801 Brickell Avenue, 8th Floor, Miami, Florida 33131.

Like many modern firms operating in the digital asset and blockchain sector, NatGold Digital is built on a decentralized, virtual-first model. While Miami serves as the formal headquarters for management purposes, the company’s operations span multiple jurisdictions, with team members collaborating globally via secure digital platforms.

This structure enables NatGold to attract world-class talent, reduce overhead, and scale its digital mining ecosystem with agility and operational efficiency.

To support its mission of building a non-extractive, asset-backed gold tokenization ecosystem, NatGold Digital Ltd. operates through three wholly owned subsidiaries—each formed in the state of Delaware. These entities serve as the legal and operational backbone of the NatGold model, enabling asset security, regulatory clarity, brand protection, and long-term integrity of the NatGold Token. Each subsidiary performs a distinct role within the structure while collectively enabling NatGold to maintain transparency, enforceability, and strategic flexibility at scale.

NatGold Integrity Vault™ LLC

NatGold Integrity Vault LLC serves as the legal custodian of all subsurface mineral rights associated with Certified NatGold Resources. As a wholly owned Delaware entity, it was established to hold only the underground mineral titles that underpin each NatGold Token—separate and distinct from surface property rights. These mineral assets are tokenized only after they pass a rigorous third-party verification process, ensuring that all tokens are permanently backed by geologically validated gold, never extracted or physically disturbed.

This entity plays a foundational role in preserving the non-dilutive nature of the NatGold Token. By isolating the mineral rights from operational liabilities or surface encumbrances, NatGold Integrity Vault LLC ensures that the asset base backing each token remains uncontaminated by taxes, regulatory fees, or the risk of physical mining. It operates strictly as a passive titleholder and conducts no mining or commercial activity. Its sole function is to preserve the integrity and permanence of the certified gold assets, ensuring that every NatGold Token remains 100% backed by real, unmined value. The operational value of this subsidiary lies in its ability to anchor the token’s credibility and enforce the discipline of NatGold’s digital mining model—a key differentiator in the world of asset-backed digital finance.

NatGold Property Holdings LLC

NatGold Property Holdings LLC complements the Integrity Vault by managing the surface property rights associated with tokenized mineral claims. Also a Delaware-registered and wholly owned subsidiary, it was created to own and administer the land above the subsurface mineral rights without affecting the tokens themselves. This separation is not only legally strategic but operationally essential—it isolates the mineral rights held by NatGold Integrity Vault LLC from burdens such as property taxes, legal maintenance, or regulatory obligations that might otherwise affect the underlying asset base.

As part of its custodial commitment, NatGold Property Holdings manages the operations of the NatGold Core & Data Warehouse—a secure Delaware-based facility to house original geological core samples, rock and soil specimens, and technical records linked to each Certified NatGold Resource. These physical materials are segregated by deposit, monitored via dedicated video surveillance, and digitally connected to the NatGold Integrity Vault, enabling real-time visual verification and bridging the physical and digital dimensions of token-backed gold stewardship. This infrastructure reinforces NatGold’s pledge to transparency, auditability, and sustainable custodianship.

Importantly, NatGold Property Holdings LLC is responsible for administering the NatGold Custodial and Social Giveback Program (NCSGP), a core element of the company’s custodial responsibilities, community and sustainability impact strategy. Two percent of all gross NatGold Tokens minted are allocated to this entity. Through this allocation, the subsidiary addresses the responsibilities of long-term stewardship of tokenized surface land title, funds sustainability activities and community development. It serves as both a title management body and a mission-aligned impact administrator.

From an operational standpoint, NatGold Property Holdings LLC delivers tangible value by enabling responsible land management while ensuring that surface rights do not interfere with the purity of the tokenized gold. It bridges the technical, legal, and social components of the NatGold ecosystem, ensuring that the company’s financial innovation is matched by meaningful and sustainable stewardship.

NatGold IP Holdings LLC

NatGold IP Holdings LLC is the central holder and administrator of all intellectual property developed within the NatGold ecosystem. This Delaware-registered entity consolidates legal ownership of NatGold’s patents, trademarks, proprietary algorithms, smart contract systems, tokenization methodologies, technical documentation, and digital branding. By isolating all intellectual property in a dedicated entity, NatGold ensures that its innovations—especially its patent-pending digital mining model—are legally protected, strategically deployed, and efficiently licensed across jurisdictions and partnerships.

The subsidiary also manages all brand assets, ensuring consistency and compliance in the use of the NatGold name, identity, and technology. Through formal licensing agreements, NatGold IP Holdings LLC may authorize internal affiliates or external partners to use its systems under tightly governed terms—ensuring protection from unauthorized use and dilution of value.

Operationally, this entity is critical to securing NatGold’s competitive advantage and enabling future monetization of its proprietary systems. It supports long-term scalability by positioning NatGold as the originator of a new digital gold standard, while also providing a framework to commercialize its technology stack across the broader financial and mining sectors.

NatGold Digital Ltd. is represented by several U.S.-based law firms to assist on securities law issues, as well as navigating complex and evolving regulatory environments in the digital asset space.

In addition, NatGold Digital’s official transfer agent is Endeavor Trust Corporation, located at Suite 702 – 777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4. Endeavor is responsible for maintaining accurate records of tokenholder accounts and facilitating compliant transfers of NatGold Tokens as part of the company’s broader asset governance and investor infrastructure.

Together, these professional partners support the legal integrity and operational accountability of the NatGold ecosystem.

NatGold Digital Ltd. has developed what is currently the industry’s most comprehensive intellectual property portfolio in digital gold mining. This portfolio is built around two key pillars: provisional patent filings and federally registered trademarks, all filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

To date, NatGold has filed eleven provisional patent applications with the USPTO, covering every major component of its digital mining model—from geological verification and asset valuation to token issuance, trading architecture, and compliance systems. These filings provide robust legal protection for NatGold’s innovations and establish a foundation for future revenue-generating licensing opportunities.

The patent portfolio is structured across three core domains:

1. Tokenization Framework and Valuation Systems

Tokenization Process: A proprietary method for converting in-ground gold into digital tokens backed by verified mineral rights.

Valuation Model for Unmined Assets: A standardized system for assigning value to gold deposits using geological confidence and market-based risk adjustment.

Digital Cutoff Grade (DCG): A fixed threshold that replaces fluctuating mine planning grades, optimized for gold that remains permanently in-ground.

Geological Confidence Weighting: A tiered formula (e.g., 0.8 for Measured, 0.4 for Indicated, 0.2 for Inferred) embedded in smart contracts to standardize token volume.

2. ESG and Sustainability Integration

ESG Credit System: Assigns ESG credits to tokenized resources, rewarding projects that preserve in-ground gold.

Hybrid Risk-Adjusted Valuation Models: Incorporates ESG performance, geopolitical risk, and accessibility into resource valuation and token issuance.

3. Ecosystem Infrastructure and Interfaces

Real-Time AISC (RTAISC) Index: A dynamic cost-tracking tool based on World Gold Council metrics, supporting real-time asset valuation.

Tokenization Platform with RTAISC Integration: Merges blockchain token issuance with live mining cost data to enhance transparency and pricing accuracy.

KYC/AML & Compliance Architecture: Embedded identity verification and anti-money laundering protocols for all ecosystem participants.

CBDC Integration Interface: Enables future interoperability with central bank digital currencies.

In addition to its patent portfolio, NatGold Digital has filed trademark applications for “NatGold™”, “NatGold Integrity Vault™”, and “The Premier NatGold Miner™”. These marks reflect the company’s commitment to building a trusted, globally recognized brand as the leader in establishing a superior fiat money alternative crypto asset. The NatGold™ trademark reinforces the identity of its tokenization model, while the NatGold Integrity Vault™ mark highlights its role in securing mineral rights and ensuring long-term token integrity.

Together, these intellectual property assets form the strategic backbone of NatGold’s patent-pending digital mining ecosystem, protecting the company’s first-mover advantage and enabling global scalability through future licensing and partnership opportunities.

The NatGold Social Giveback Program (NSGP) is a built-in feature of NatGold’s digital mining model, designed to deliver lasting environmental and social value alongside economic returns. The program allocates 2% of all gross to sustainable development programs, including land reclamation, watershed restoration, reforestation, and infrastructure support. These initiatives are executed in partnership with local NGOs, Indigenous organizations, and other qualified stakeholders.

NatGold Digital protects investor and shareholder interests through a comprehensive framework of corporate governance, regulatory compliance, financial transparency, and risk oversight—all essential pillars for a company operating at the intersection of commodities and digital assets.

The company is structured as a U.S.-registered C Corporation, subject to federal and state corporate governance obligations under Nevada law, and it adheres to best practices modeled on U.S. public company standards. NatGold has established a formal board of directors, which includes independent directors and governance-focused committees, responsible for overseeing fiduciary duties, financial controls, strategic risk management, and alignment with long-term shareholder interests.

To reinforce transparency, NatGold maintains structured shareholder communications protocols, including regular reporting on material developments, token issuance metrics, and ecosystem growth. The company is committed to complying with applicable securities laws, AML/KYC regulations, tax disclosure standards, and any additional applicable regulatory frameworks.

NatGold also operates under an internal Code of Conduct and Ethics and has implemented a formal whistleblower policy. This policy enables any employee, contractor, or stakeholder to confidentially report concerns related to corporate misconduct, compliance breaches, or ethical violations.

Furthermore, NatGold Digital ensures that token issuance, custodianship, and financial procedures are supported by licensed third-party service providers, including regulated custodians and legal counsel with deep expertise in securities, commodities, and blockchain regulation. This layered approach strengthens internal controls and enhances regulatory readiness as the company scales.

Together, these measures reflect NatGold’s ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability, and investor protection in a fast-evolving regulatory landscape—ensuring shareholders are protected not only by design, but by policy, oversight, and proactive governance.

NatGold Digital has issued a single class of common shares, with no preferred shares or other classes carrying special rights or privileges. This structure ensures equitable treatment among shareholders, with each share representing an equal ownership interest in the company.

All share issuances are administered by NatGold’s registered transfer agent, and ownership is recorded electronically through the Direct Registration System (DRS). Shareholders receive a DRS statement as proof of ownership. While the default is digital registration, shareholders may request a physical share certificate if preferred.

This approach provides both modern efficiency and traditional optionality, aligning with regulatory standards while offering flexibility to shareholders.

NatGold Digital is actively evaluating multiple options to provide shareholder liquidity and long-term value realization, including the potential for both public listing and future dividend distributions.

While listing on a major U.S. stock exchange such as NASDAQ remains one possible path, it is not the only option under consideration and the company may also retain the flexibility to remain private.

The company is also exploring emerging alternatives, such as the tokenization of equity, which may offer shareholders a compliant and innovative liquidity solution without requiring a conventional public listing. Any future liquidity event will be pursued only after key milestones are achieved—such as the successful launch of the NatGold ecosystem, commencement of token minting, market validation, and demonstrated asset scalability.

In parallel, NatGold Digital intends to pay cash dividends once tokenization activities are fully underway and the company is generating sustainable revenue. While the timing and amount of any dividend payments will depend on the company’s financial position, retained earnings, and growth strategy, it is management’s intention to return capital to shareholders when it can be done without compromising future expansion.

Above all, NatGold remains committed to pursuing liquidity and income opportunities that align with shareholder interests, regulatory standards, and long-term strategic goals.
