The NatGold Core & Data Warehouse is a secure physical repository located in Delaware, operated by NatGold Property Holdings LLC, that stores geological core samples, rock and soil specimens, and original technical documents supporting each Certified NatGold Resource. It serves as the physical audit trail backing every NatGold Token.

This warehouse is a critical part of the NatGold ecosystem because it ensures the highest level of transparency, accountability, and verifiable integrity. Every NatGold Token is backed not just by digital documentation, but also by original physical evidence of the gold deposit—preserved in a secure, segregated environment and digitally linked to the NatGold Integrity Vault.

Participating mining companies are required to submit drill core samples, rock and soil samples, geological maps, technical field notes, and any other original documents used in the preparation of NI 43-101, JORC Code, or S-K 1300 compliant technical reports. All materials must be delivered at the mining company’s expense, using industry-standard secure transport protocols, and must reflect the same rigor and traceability required by regulatory reporting.

Once received, all materials are stored on a deposit-specific basis. Each project’s samples and documents are physically segregated, clearly labeled, and assigned to a dedicated area within the facility. Each storage section is monitored by a dedicated video camera, and the live or recorded feed is integrated into the NatGold Integrity Vault, allowing investors, auditors, and approved professionals to visually verify the physical evidence behind each Certified NatGold Resource.

Public access to the warehouse is restricted. However, credentialed technical professionals, independent auditors, and regulators may be granted on-site access by written request, subject to security and confidentiality protocols.

Participation in the Core & Data Warehouse is mandatory for all mining companies seeking to tokenize gold resources through NatGold. This process strengthens the legitimacy of the digital mining ecosystem by creating a complete chain of custody—from geological discovery and certification to secure physical storage and public-facing digital validation.

This unique infrastructure provides NatGold Token holders with confidence that every token is supported by verifiable, non-dilutive, in-ground gold—linking blockchain-based trust to real-world geological provenance with unmatched transparency.
