Certification standards play a pivotal role in the NatGold ecosystem, with only titles containing certified gold resources under the National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects being eligible. Established by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy, and Petroleum (CIM), NI 43-101 certified gold resource reports are the benchmark in global gold mining and finance and the most widely accepted reporting standard by all major world stock exchanges.

The meticulousness of NI 43-101 in auditing and validating the existence of gold resources ensures unparalleled reliability, making it the most trusted metric for mining financiers worldwide. This level of certainty and quality is crucial for NatGold legislation, ensuring that only the most accurately quantified and scientifically backed gold resources are tokenized, maintaining the highest standards of integrity and trust in the NatGold ecosystem.
