In April 2023, TechCrunch reported the launch of an innovative platform that directly connects retail investors with high-potential mining projects, initially focusing on Chile and Peru. Through the tokenization of assets, this solution enables participation with relatively low contributions, offering users the possibility to obtain fractions of the profits derived from the exploitation of minerals like copper and lithium.
This model breaks with the traditional dependence on financial intermediaries, promoting greater inclusion and diversification of investors. The transparency inherent to blockchain, along with smart contracts that automate the distribution of benefits, creates an ecosystem where financial innovation combines with traditional mining, opening new avenues for capital raising and sustainable growth.
It strengthens the trend towards the modernization of the mining sector, where financial innovation combines with the need for critical resources for the energy transition.
