Mining Site and Gold Extraction

Written by Ayni Support Team

What happens if mining operations stop?

If production stops or is reduced, reward amounts or timing may be affected. Rewards are linked to actual mining results and may be zero. AYNI TOKEN INC does not conduct mining and does not guarantee production.

Where is the mining site?

AYNI Gold is linked to one operating alluvial gold-mining concession in Madre de Dios, southeastern Peru. The 8 km² concession is held by Minerales San Hilario S.C.R.L. under INGEMMET concession No. 070011405.

What type of gold deposit is it?

The public Phase 1 Scoping Study characterises the site as a near-surface alluvial system with measurable gold content concentrated in the upper five metres of overburden.

How much gold is estimated at the site?

The Scoping Study supports a conceptual exploration target of approximately 9–11 metric tonnes of gold across the concession area. This is not a declared mineral resource or reserve. Modelled recovery at the current plant configuration is approximately 80%.

What production has been reported?

The Mining Asset page reports 13,434.8 grams extracted over 169 active extraction days up to May 30, 2026, an average of 79.5 grams per active day. These are historical operating figures, not a projection or guarantee.

Who owns and operates the concession?

Minerales San Hilario S.C.R.L. holds and operates the concession. AYNI TOKEN INC provides the digital platform and does not conduct mining.

What does INGEMMET registration show?

INGEMMET is Peru’s Geological, Mining and Metallurgical Institute. Its public registry records concession No. 070011405. A mining concession establishes mineral rights for a defined area; it does not replace other permits or environmental and operating obligations.

What is the Phase 1 Scoping Study?

It is an independent preliminary technical assessment published in May 2025. It describes the deposit concept, sampling, operating assumptions, and development potential. Its conceptual exploration target must not be presented as a proven reserve.

How is the mined gold sold?

The current website states that extracted gold is sold to authorised buyers. It does not limit sales to banks or government entities.

How is mining activity verified?

AYNI publishes the concession reference, Scoping Study, production figures, operating updates, and supporting documents in its Updates page and Data Room. These records improve transparency but do not eliminate operational or technical risk.

What technologies and methods are used?

The operation uses alluvial mining. The public materials describe near-surface material in the upper five metres and a modelled recovery of approximately 80% at the current plant configuration. Recovery is an operating assumption, not a guaranteed result.

What happens if output is lower than expected?

Reward calculations use actual programme results. Lower output, higher costs, downtime, price changes, or other factors can reduce or delay rewards. There is no minimum or stable reward guarantee.

Is AYNI backed by mined gold?

No. AYNI is a utility token associated with mining throughput. It does not represent ownership of physical gold, mining revenue, or the concession. PAXG, used for eligible rewards, is independently backed by allocated physical gold under Paxos terms.

How is AYNI different from a gold ETF?

Gold ETFs generally provide exposure to the market price of gold. AYNI participation is linked to mining results and carries mining, token, liquidity, legal, and technical risks. AYNI is not an ETF, equity interest, or claim on physical gold.
