Monetization Strategies
1. Royalty Agreements
Business owners can sell a percentage of future revenue in exchange for upfront capital.
2. Streaming Agreements
A pre-sale of gold at discounted future prices enables upfront liquidity.
3. Joint Venture Partnerships
Strategic partnerships with established mining companies can bring expertise and capital.
4. Asset Tokenization
Innovative owners can tokenize their reserves, allowing fractional ownership.
