CORAL GABLES, Fla., July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- today announced the completion of the tokenization of its second NatGold Certified Resource, increasing the aggregate number of NatGold Tokens ("NATG") generated and minted from 57,200 to 106,800.
The Company also acknowledges that trading in NATG on Kraken, which had been expected to commence at 10:00 a.m. EDT on July 8, 2026, has not yet commenced. At this time, the Company has not been informed of the reason for the delay or when trading will begin. NatGold Digital, like its shareholders, mining partners, and the broader community interested in acquiring NatGold Tokens, continues to await the commencement of trading and will provide further information when appropriate.
Today's tokenization of the Alaska 4 patented mining claim at the Friday Gold Mine in Idaho generated and minted an additional 49,600 NATG. It follows the Company's initial tokenization of the Cahuilla Gold Project's patented mining claims 45 and 46 in California on June 30, 2026, which generated and minted 57,200 NATG.
Together, the two completed tokenizations encompass distinct gold properties in separate U.S. jurisdictions and have generated and minted an aggregate 106,800 NATG. By incorporating certified resources from separate properties and jurisdictions, the tokenizations expand the resource base from which NATG is generated and demonstrate the applicability of NatGold Digital's model across qualifying gold resources.
The 106,800 NATG were minted through the NATG smart contract and recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. Together, the two tokenizations represent the first completed applications of NatGold Digital's patent-pending digital mining model to NatGold Certified Resources.
"The completion of our second tokenization establishes an important foundation for NATG," said Andrés Fernández, Chief Executive Officer. "By bringing certified gold resources from separate properties in California and Idaho into the NatGold ecosystem, we have begun to demonstrate how the model can be applied across a broader pipeline of qualifying resources. After years of development, integration and preparation, the NatGold digital mining model is now operational."
The 106,800 NATG generated and minted to date were derived from the following NatGold Certified Resources:
Each resource completed NatGold Digital's certification and tokenization process, including geological, technical, legal and title-related review and the application of the Company's digital mining cutoff grade. The eligible gold resources and resulting token quantities are documented in a NatGold Certified Resources Tokenization Certificate issued for each resource.
"The integrity of NATG begins with the integrity of the qualifying resources and the process governing their admission into the NatGold ecosystem," said Mark Radke, Chairman of NatGold Digital. "Each resource must satisfy recognized geological reporting requirements and complete the Company's technical, legal, title and tokenization reviews before any tokens are minted. Completing tokenizations involving two separate properties provides an initial demonstration of that disciplined and repeatable process."
Supporting technical and due diligence documentation, together with the applicable Tokenization Certificates, is publicly accessible through documentation referenced in connection with the smart contract. The NATG smart contract is publicly viewable on Etherscan at:
Under the NatGold model, the underlying gold remains undisturbed in its natural location — "Mother Nature's Vault" — while the value associated with the verified resource is represented digitally through NATG.
As part of the two completed tokenizations, 5% of the NATG generated from each resource was allocated to the NatGold Contingency Fund and 2% was allocated to the NatGold Social Giveback Program. Across the two tokenizations, these allocations totalled 5,340 NATG and 2,136 NATG, respectively.
The Contingency Fund is intended to provide an additional layer of protection within the NatGold ecosystem, while the Social Giveback Program reflects the Company's commitment to extending the benefits of its digital mining model beyond direct commercial participants.
With two tokenizations now complete, NatGold Digital's focus shifts to expanding the number and geographic diversity of qualifying resources within the ecosystem, completing additional certifications and tokenizations, and continuing to broaden the resource base from which NATG is generated.
"We are moving from building the model to scaling its execution," Fernández said. "Our priority is to complete additional tokenizations responsibly, strengthen the ecosystem and expand the pipeline of qualifying NatGold Certified Resources."
NatGold Digital Ltd. is the global leader in digital gold mining and the architect and operator of a patent-pending, non-extractive platform designed to unlock the intrinsic value of technically verified in-ground gold resources that remain securely stored in Mother Nature's Vault. NatGold Tokens are structured to represent standardized unit interests in NatGold Certified Resources, disclosed under internationally recognized geological Technical Reports — without physical extraction, processing, or movement of gold. The result is a superior fiat money alternative designed to help lead a global monetary reformation.
