Governance & Safeguards

    Every emission is approved by verifiable data, not discretionary judgement. Our multi-signature governance framework ensures that no single party can authorise token releases without independent verification from auditors, oracles, and treasury oversight.

    Legal Covenant Layer

    Binding agreements connect Norah Mining's concentrate sales to a verifiable payout commitment.

    • ORA (Output Rights Agreement)
    • FRAD (Future Receivables Assignment Deed)
    • RDC (Revenue Distribution Covenant)
    • TIA (Token Issuance Agreement)
    • OVDA (Oracle Verification Agreement)

    Smart-Contract Layer

    Automated logic executes quarterly revenue distributions in USDT based on verified data.

    • QRO (Quarterly Revenue Obligations)
    • Automated distribution logic
    • Multi-signature wallet controls
    • Emergency pause mechanisms

    Oracle Verification Layer

    Secure data feeds from the export-bank API and auditor-signed proofs trigger on-chain settlements.

    • Export-proceeds API integration
    • Auditor-signed proofs
    • Real-time data verification
    • Fallback oracle systems

    Token Emission Triggers

    This governance architecture eliminates discretionary supply manipulation whilst maintaining the flexibility to respond to genuine market and production developments. Each trigger operates independently, requiring distinct verification pathways.

    Capacity ↑ ≥30%

    Production throughput increase of 30% or more

    Verification Pathway

    Auditor + oracle verification of throughput increase

    Emission Limit

    ≤10%

    Approval Mechanism

    2-of-3 multisig

    Lithium FOB ↑ ≥20%

    Lithium Free On Board price increase of 20% or more

    Verification Pathway

    Sustained 60-day price elevation

    Emission Limit

    ≤5%

    Approval Mechanism

    2-of-3 multisig

    Speculative Spike >30%

    A speculative price spike greater than 30%

    Verification Pathway

    Price substantially exceeds revenue ratio

    Emission Limit

    ≤3% + buy-back offset

    Approval Mechanism

    Treasury + Auditor + Oracle consensus

    Token Buy-Back Mechanism Architecture

    Strategic buy-backs offset speculative volatility whilst reinforcing long-term value. When market prices deviate significantly from production fundamentals, the protocol automatically initiates stabilisation measures.

    Volatility Detection

    Algorithm monitors price-to-revenue ratio continuously. Threshold breach triggers stabilisation protocol.

    Treasury Allocation

    Up to 15% of quarterly revenue reserved for market stabilisation operations and strategic buy-backs.

    Token Retirement

    Repurchased tokens permanently removed from circulation, reducing effective supply and supporting price stability.

    Transparency Notice

    Buy-back operations are publicly announced 48 hours in advance, ensuring transparency whilst preventing front-running behaviour.

    Security Features

    • 2-of-3 multisig required for any vault release
    • Team & advisor allocations vesting over 24–48 months
    • Treasury buy-backs for price stability
    • No new minting beyond 8M hard cap
