MINEX Gold Edition Protocol – Investor Overview

What is the Minex Gold Protocol?

The MINEX Gold Edition Protocol, pioneered by Terra Token Systems, is a secure and transparent platform for investing in real, fully verified gold assets—both as stored bullion and as independently certified, discounted in-situ reserves. Investors gain modern access to the gold market through digital tokens that are fully backed, tradable, and protected by robust regulatory and insurance frameworks.

How does stablecoin integration work?

Highlights for All Investors:

• Stablecoin Integration: The protocol allows you to invest using major global stablecoins, including USD- and JPY-pegged options. This ensures price stability, fast global settlement, and eliminates traditional currency conversion risk.

• Diversified Gold Exposure: Direct ownership of both physical (LBMA-standard) vault gold and risk-adjusted in-situ reserves, all registered and audited on blockchain.

• Liquidity and Flexibility: Buy, sell, or redeem gold tokens 24/7, unlock value instantly, and choose physical delivery or digital holdings, all underpinned by high reserve ratios, insurance coverage, and regular independent audits.

• Strong ESG and Compliance: Regular reporting, full AML/KYC, and proceeds allocation to sustainable development and community initiatives—making MINEX a uniquely responsible and transparent way to invest in gold.

• Regulatory Security: Every step of the investment—from initial onboarding to settlement and redemption—is governed by strict compliance with domestic and international regulations.

For Japanese Investors: Dedicated Yen Stablecoin Support and Regulatory Peace-of-Mind

MINEX Gold Edition unlocks secure, instant, and fully regulated gold investment worldwide—now with direct support for Japanese yen stablecoins in line with Japan’s latest legal and investor protection standards. This opens the door to cross-border, institutional-grade participation in both physical and in-situ gold markets, all while upholding the highest principles of regulatory, financial, and ESG responsibility.

Japan recently implemented one of the world’s most comprehensive legal frameworks for stablecoins. As of 2025, yen-backed digital coins can only be issued by regulated institutions—such as licensed banks and money transmitters—and must be fully collateralized by bank deposits or trusted safe assets like Japanese government bonds. Issuers must comply with strict disclosures, AML, and customer protection laws under the Payment Services Act and related FSA guidelines.

What MINEX Offers Japanese Investors:

JPYC/Yen Stablecoin Settlement: Invest with Japanese yen via a fully licensed, FSA-compliant stablecoin (such as JPYC), giving instant access to African gold assets directly from Japan, without FX risk.
Legal and Regulatory Clarity: All yen-backed investments are governed by Japan’s 2025 Payment Services Act amendments, ensuring funds are always fully protected, redeemable, and securely held.
Enhanced Security and Transparency: Adherence to Japanese and Zambian regulations, in addition to global best practices, ensures maximum investor protection, regular audits, and robust disclosures.
Portfolio and Payment Innovation: Participate in international gold finance—securely and seamlessly—using your preferred local payment instruments under Japan’s strict systemic safeguards.

The MINEX Protocol: Unlocking Value and Liquidity for Mining Companies

How It Works for Mining Companies:

Mining firms complete a streamlined onboarding process, including KYC, regulatory, and geological verification. Physical metals are warehoused and tracked to global standards, while in-situ assets are independently certified, conservatively valued, and tokenized on blockchain.

Both above-ground stocks and in-situ reserves are converted into fully tradeable digital assets, creating immediate market liquidity and global investor access—even for unprocessed or unextracted deposits.

The MINEX Protocol, patented and operated by Terra Token Systems, is a cutting-edge platform enabling mining companies to securely certify, tokenize, and trade both physically produced commodities (such as copper, gold, cobalt) and verified in-situ reserves—even before full extraction or processing.

With Zambia’s periodic electricity shortages and rising global demand for critical minerals, the ability to finance, de-risk, and optimize both produced and in-situ asset value—without waiting for grid upgrades or full-scale processing—offers a major competitive edge.

MINEX lets mining companies realize immediate economic value from both mined output and proven underground resources. It supports resilience through energy or operational disruptions and positions producers as leaders in responsible, digital-first commodity trade.

Key Benefits for Mining Companies:

Unlock Working Capital: Monetize in-situ mineral value (copper/gold/cobalt) without needing to depend solely on energy-intensive extraction and smelting—especially valuable in Zambia’s current context of electricity constraints.
De-risk Production: Access funding against reserves, supporting continued operations or expansion even during power, processing, or supply chain disruptions.
Global Market Access: Attract international institutional and retail capital, including from jurisdictions like Japan via JPYC settlement, without traditional infrastructure or market limitations.
Regulatory Efficiency: Automated royalty, tax, and export compliance streamline relations with authorities like ZRA and increase social license.
Cost-Efficiency: Reduce dependence on expensive offtake/prepayment deals and minimize dilution versus traditional equity/trade finance options.
Reputation and ESG Advantage: Emphasize transparency, compliance, and responsible finance—appealing to modern investors and governments.
