(SeaPRwire) –   The involvement of High Ridge Trust finalizes the essential NATG custody component

MIAMI, May 22, 2026 — NatGold Digital Ltd. (“NatGold” or the “Company”), a leading digital gold mining firm, utilizing a patent-pending method to sustainably realize the inherent worth of subterranean gold assets via its digital mining and blockchain-powered tokenization platform, today declared the finalization of the fundamental tokenization framework necessary for the anticipated market debut of the NatGold Token (“NATG”). This milestone is underscored by the appointment of High Ridge Trust to deliver impartial custody solutions for NATG.

This finalized ecosystem integrates the institutional elements essential for NATG’s issuance, safekeeping, and market involvement. High Ridge Trust rounds out the custody aspect of this framework, functioning as an impartial third-party custodian and offering regulated, isolated cold-wallet infrastructure along with institutional-level protections for securing and managing NATG token assets. High Ridge Trust operates as a Nevada-chartered qualified custodian, designed solely for institutional digital asset custody.

“Through this conclusive partnership, the foundational ecosystem is now established as we ready ourselves for NATG’s impending debut,” commented Andrés Fernández, CEO of NatGold Digital Ltd. “Our decision to partner with an independent, qualified custodian stems from the belief that the token‘s custody ought to mirror the integrity and strictness of the underlying asset. By entrusting NATG to segregated cold-storage custody with High Ridge Trust, we are introducing an additional, independent tier of institutional oversight and offering enhanced certainty that token assets are protected beyond exchange or issuer-controlled wallets.”

NatGold’s digital mining approach aims to tokenize eligible subterranean gold reserves, which stay safely preserved within Mother Nature’s Vault. According to the Company’s methodology, gold resources that have been independently verified undergo technical, legal, and compliance assessments prior to being designated as NatGold Certified Resources and becoming suitable for tokenization. The collaboration with High Ridge Trust further underscores NatGold’s commitment to developing a token infrastructure intended to foster ownership clarity, custody reliability, and enduring market trust.

“NatGold’s method for tokenizing subterranean gold resources merits a custody solution commensurate with the asset’s aspirations,” stated Karen J. Wendel, President of High Ridge Trust. “High Ridge Trust offers the most secure environment globally for institutional digital assets, and we are delighted to extend this superior benchmark of security, separation, and governance to the NATG ecosystem.”
