Q: Any highlights on your recent announcement?
A: GoChain is pleased to be working with the National Mining Agency of Colombia (Agencia Nacional de Mineria or ANM) to re-imagine and digitally transform Colombia’s mining sector through the use of blockchain technology and smart contracts. We believe this will become the global standard for all mining operations globally. Key highlights of recent announcement include:
– Colombia is the first government to record a mining contract and terms on a public blockchain ledger (on the GoChain blockchain)
– Colombia is the first worldwide to mint a mining contract in the form of an unique non-fungible token (NFT) on a public blockchain ledger (on the GoChain blockchain)
– ANM’s vision includes (1) the recording of mining titles, contracts, and rights on the blockchain (2) tokenizing mining ventures and assets on the blockchain for novel financing and fundraising opportunities (3) utilizing blockchain for the granular track and traceability of mining operations and supply chains in Colombia to ensure authenticity and the responsible sourcing of metals / minerals.
Q: Can you give us more insights into your offering?
A: GoChain will work with ANM, local partners, and other stakeholders to further implement the envisioned blockchain strategy and mining digital transformation plans; particular focus initially will be on recording approved Strategic Mining Area (SMA) titles/contracts and terms on the blockchain.
