The NatGold Real-Time AISC Index is a continuously updated benchmark that reflects the global average cost to mine, refine, and market a troy ounce of gold. It is derived from a comprehensive dataset of financial filings from publicly traded gold producers and is updated dynamically as new data becomes available—ensuring an accurate, transparent foundation for valuation.

This index plays a key role in calculating the Baseline Intrinsic Value of NatGold Tokens. By subtracting the NatGold Real-Time AISC from the current COMEX spot gold price, we determine the average in-ground profit margin per ounce of gold. This margin—multiplied by the verified ounces within a Certified NatGold Resource—establishes the baseline valuation for tokenization.

But that’s only the beginning.

Once minted, a NatGold Token leaves behind the constraints of traditional gold valuation. It becomes something fundamentally new: a blockchain-native, non-dilutive, environmentally responsible crypto-commodity—built for the digital age and aligned with the values of a modern investor.

The real market value of a NatGold Token will not be determined by daily gold price fluctuations. It will be driven by demand for a next-generation monetary asset—one that combines the trust and scarcity of gold, the efficiency of crypto, and the sustainability that legacy systems lack.

This isn’t just a better gold token.
It’s the real “Digital Gold” crypto commodity.
And it’s built to challenge Bitcoin for that title.
