# On-site Operations
### Mining Operations & On-Site Validation
LumiVault’s foundational value proposition is built on **real-world gold mining assets**, which directly back **LVT token liquidity** and **PAXG redemption**. To ensure **investor confidence** and **operational transparency**, we outline below the core elements of our mining validation framework.
#### Proof of Reserve for Mining Assets
LumiVault is preparing to publicly disclose comprehensive documentation verifying the existence and viability of its mining operations, including:
* **Mining Rights & Legal Ownership**\
Official titles and legal documents confirming that LumiVault or its operating subsidiaries hold exclusive rights to explore, develop, and mine designated sites.
* **Geological & Feasibility Studies**\
Certified **NI 43-101** or **JORC-compliant** reports (where applicable) from third-party geologists and surveyors, covering:\
▪ Mineral content & ore grading\
▪ Estimated reserve quantity\
▪ Environmental impact & logistical viability
* **Operational Licenses**\
Government-issued **permits and clearances** enabling mining, transportation, and commercial sale of extracted materials.
These documents will be made publicly accessible via the **LumiVault Proof-of-Reserve Dashboard**, ensuring transparent verification for both **token holders** and **independent auditors**.

#### Estimated Gold Production Capacity
Once operations begin, LumiVault plans to scale mining activities progressively over **12–18 months**, based on pre-feasibility assessments and machinery capabilities:
* **Initial Output (Q3 2025):**\
Estimated **1.5–2 metric tonnes/month**
* **Full Capacity (Mid-2026):**\
Up to **5 tonnes/month**, depending on terrain, weather, and equipment upgrades
All extracted gold will feed directly into the **Reserve Pool**, which backs **PAXG liquidity** used for user redemptions.
