Gold's monetary value never depended on mining it. Roughly 219,890 tonnes already sits above ground, recycled for centuries, while about $22 trillion more is verified underground to the mining industry's own court-grade reporting standards. These eight chapters build the case that connecting that value digitally — rather than extracting it — is the inevitable next step.

How NatGold Digital turns verified in-ground gold into a tradeable token without a single ounce mined. The Baseline Intrinsic Value (spot price minus all-in sustaining cost) prices each token off data the industry already publishes; global verification standards, independent custody, and a qualification pipeline sit underneath.
