Alluvial Gold Unit Token Program
The Alluvial Gold Unit (AGU) token bridges the security of traditional gold investing with the utility and sophistication of blockchain.
Catch early-bird access to grams of gold in gold-bearing material at discounts as deep as 50%!
Top Producer
Upholding the highest operational, regulatory, environmental, ethical, traceability, and purity standards—in addition to being the world’s fifth largest gold producer—the United States is the AGU Token Program’s administrative and financial headquarters.
Precision
Increasingly incisive surveying, analytics, and extraction is boosting the precision and efficiency of gold production. This means that validated geological surveys provide viable metrics for effective tokenization even of in-ground material.
Unitizable
Modern gold mining is sufficiently exacting to ascribe fractional ownership to gold-bearing assets. Each AGU token holds title to one pure (24 karat) gram of gold embodied within any of three main production states of gold— in-ground, on-ground or in Doré bars.
Gainful
Alluvial Gold Unit (AGU) tokens secure ownership of gold-bearing assets organically escalate up the production chain to the ultimate pure physical gold bullion and coins that can in addition to the natural rise of the gold price, be staked for significant ongoing gain.

Your Questions Answered
Investing intokenized assets is new and raises commonquestions. Alluvial Gold Unit LLC is committed to transparency and providing clarity to help investors and fund managers make informed decisions. Here are the most common inquiries we receive.
The AGU Token Program is designed to benefit independent mines and gold investors. On the supply side, proceeds from the sale of AGU tokens finance the expansion and acceleration of independent gold mining and processing operations. On the demand side, the Program offers direct ownership of gold-bearing assets from well-managed and incisively surveyed and validated mines. DAMREV’s Stellar ISO 20022-compliant blockchain technology is used to ensure secure, quick and transparent transactions, and MAN is able to aggregate awide range of gold assets from mines andrepositories.
AGU tokens are directly backed by physical gold assets, embodied within in-ground reserves, on-ground tailings, processed Doré barsor nuggets, and pure refined gold, ensuring a 1:1 correspondence with gold in reserves (deposits) or tailings (slag) at the mines, or in processed Doré bars or refined pure gold bullion and coins, which are held within the custody of refineries and secure storage facilities around the world.
The AGU token series encompasses ownership of a one pure gram of gold’s worth of gold-bearing assets in the four stages of gold production, and hence purchase value, as follows:
- AGU 1 tokensrepresent ownership of one gram of pure goldembodied within the measured in-ground reserves ofmines, which are planned for excavation in 10 yearsor less (purchasable around LBMA PM fix minus 50%)
- AGU 2 tokensrepresent ownership of one gram of pure goldembodied within excavated (on-ground) tailings ofmines, which are pipelined for processing in two yearsor less (purchasable at the LBMA PM fix minus 25%)
- AGU3 tokens represents one gram of pure goldembodied within a physical Doré bar which—until refined and graduated into pure gold coins or collected by holders redeeming the applicable number of tokens—remains in secure storage, inbonded warehouses (purchasable at LMBA PM fixminus 5%)
- AGU4 tokens represent a physical one gram of gold embodied within pure gold bullion bars or coins which, until or unless collected by the token holder remains in secure storage in one of several reputed custodian facilities, (purchasable at LMBAPM fix and stake-able for a 6.5% semi-annual yield)
The Stellar blockchain, chosen for its efficiency, low transaction costs, and ISO 20022 compliance, underpins the AGU Token Program.
Like mostgold-backed tokens, AGU tokens offerregulatory compliance, third-party audits,transparency, speed of transaction,traceability, and secure custodianship ofphysical gold in bonded warehouses.Additionally, the AGU tokens’ uniqueofferings are their direct affect of increasingindependent gold production, their access todeeper reserves of gold in numerous mines,their automatic purchase value escalationover the life cycle of mining and production,and the high-yield staking of the peak AGU4token.
AGU tokens are distinguished by their regulatory compliance, third-party audits, and secure custodianship in bonded warehouses, offering escalating valorization mechanism, transparency, speed of transaction, and traceability that many competitive tokens lack.
Yes, the program adheres to US securities regulations and international ISO 20022 standards, with fiduciary oversight provided by active and experienced investment specialists who are Managers of the Program.
Anyone who registers and is cleared through the standard onboarding (KYC and AML) process can purchase AGU tokens, except for the limitation in the US to accredited investors.

Early investors may benefit from preferential price discounts in the early-stage AGU1, AGU2 and AGU3 tokens. Ownership in these tokens includes automatic trading up on a first-in/first-out basis into the next-higher token value phase, when gold assets inventory become available, on a one-for-one basis. For example, when thegold-bearing tailings held by AGU2 token holders isprocessed into Doré bars, represented by AGU3 tokens, theholders of the oldest AGU2 tokens will see that their firstAGU2 tokens have been automatically upgraded to the samenumber of AGU3 tokens. This means that holders of lower-ranked tokens will benefit from an organic escalation in repurchase value of their tokens over the middle and long term, and this is inaddition to the natural increase in the price of gold on theopen market. Holders of AGU4 tokens are able to stake their tokens to receive a loyalty reward of 6.5% of their holdings on a semi-annual basis.
Token value reflects the actual value of one gramof pure (24-karat, minimum 99.95% purity) gold as determined by the second daily fix of the LBMA spot price.
Yes, AGU3 and AGU4 tokens can be redeemed for physical gold, for Doré bars in exchange for the applicable number of AGU3 tokens and pure (24-karat) gold bullion bars or coins in exchange for the applicable number of AGU4 tokens.
AGU tokens are designed for liquidity and can be bought and sold in the DAMREV Stellar environment and will be listed on additional compliant token exchanges over time, to bring increasing liquidity and provide more flexible trading, staking and exit options.

AGU Token Lifecycle: From Earth to Your Pocket
AGU Token Program is designed to finance accelerated extraction and production of massive gold deposits in participating mines across America and across the world. Verified gold-bearing materials from the mines are fractionalized into one gram units of pure gold and offered for purchase as tokens in a progression of production states of increasing value:
- AGU1 tokens ownan applicable volumeof in-ground gold-bearingdeposits,
- AGU2 tokens own an applicable of on-ground mine tailings or slag,
- AGU3 tokens own one-gram fractions of a poured Doré bar or several nuggets, and
- AGU4 tokens each own a a one-gram fraction of a puregold bullion bar or coin.
The availability of AGU series tokens directly reflects the inventory of gold-bearing assets. As the inventory escalates up the production chain, holders of the lower AGU tokens benefit from their tokens being automatically traded up into the next-higher AGU token of greater value on a one-for-one basis until the AGU4 token which owns a one-gram fraction of a bullion bar or coin.
AGU1 Token
Ownership of a volume of verified in-ground gold-bearing reserve that contains and embodies units of pure grams of gold. Purchasable at the LBMA second fix, minus up to 50%. Upon excavation of the underlying gold-bearing deposits into tailings, the token will be automatically traded up on a one-for-one basis into an AGU2 token for just the technical trading fee cost.
AGU2 Token
Ownership of a volume of verified on-ground gold-bearing tailings that contain and embody one-gram units of pure gold. Purchasable at LBMA second fix minus up to 25%. Upon processing of the underlying tailings into Doré bars or nuggets, the token will be automatically traded up on a one-for-one basis into an AGU3 token for just the technical trading fee cost.
AGU3 Token
Ownership of a fraction of a Doré bar containing dozens of one-gram units of gold. Purchasable at LBMA second fix minus up to 5%. Upon refinement of the underlying Doré bars or nuggets into pure gold bullion bars or coins, the token will be automatically traded up on a one-for-one basis into an AGU4 token for just the technical trading fee cost.
AGU4 Token
Ownership of one gram of pure 24-karat gold is embodied within gold bullion or coins held in secure storage facilities until and unless the token is redeemed for the holder to take physical ownership of the gold. These tokens may be staked to receive a 6.5%semi-annual gain.
