CALGARY, AB — January 9, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Bocana Resources Corp. (TSXV:BOCA)(Frankfurt:VC1) is partnering with Arizore Ltd. to develop its funding/tokenization platform, according to a recent announcement.
The joint venture between Bocana and Arizore is progressing as Arizore develops its reserve and ledger architecture to house verified in-ground and delivered assets. The platform is currently in its chain completion and registration phase, with development focused on finalizing the underlying blockchain and reserve reporting infrastructure.
The strategic partnership is focused on the precious metals market and intends to develop a tokenization platform designed to bridge the worlds of digital finance and verified precious metals. The Platform is intended to allow independent mining operators and owners of precious metals to securitize their verified assets into liquid capital, subject to applicable securities laws and regulatory approvals, thus potentially enabling mine growth without dilution, while reinforcing the asset reserves and valuation behind each token.
The partnership combines Bocana’s mining and exploration expertise with Arizore’s blockchain and asset-tokenization technology to create an open, transparent, asset-backed ecosystem for precious metals and other critical minerals.
Built to unlock liquidity from verified in-ground and delivered resources, the Platform is subject to all required regulatory approvals, including securities law compliance, and intends to enable investors and institutions to gain exposure to tangible mineral reserves through digital tokens, each designed to be underpinned by real-world geological verification in accordance with NI 43-101 and institutional-grade transparency.
In parallel with these developments, Arizore is engaging with strategic and financing partners as part of its broader Platform build-out, including initiatives aligned with responsible resource development and emissions reduction frameworks within the precious metals sector. A preliminary launch of the Platform is anticipated by the end of January 2026. Further updates will be provided as technical, regulatory, and partnership milestones are achieved.
Tim Turner, CEO of Bocana, stated that the partnership combines the trust and credibility of traditional mining with the scalability and accessibility of blockchain, representing a significant evolution in how value from physical resources can be realized.
John Smith, Director of Arizore, noted that the partnership with Bocana marks an important milestone for Arizore and that they are creating an entirely new framework that merges tangible reserves with digital liquidity, a model they believe will define the next generation of asset-backed finance.
The company said that the foregoing matters are subject to receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals, including but not limited to approvals from securities regulators, the TSX Venture Exchange, and any applicable cryptocurrency or digital asset regulators, compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including securities laws, anti-money laundering legislation, and cryptocurrency regulations, and satisfaction of all conditions precedent.
In Arizona, the recently cored samples and portions of previously cored samples have been analyzed by several accredited independent laboratories, and the labs previously used by the local geologists, for various assay analyses, and subsequently, several additional samples have been submitted for assay testing.
The previously announced letter of intent with Venture Gold Corp., based in Colorado, has lapsed. Bocana’s management and Venture Gold’s management are continuing discussions regarding a potential transaction, however there can be no assurance that any agreement will be reached or that any transaction will be completed.
Bocana is a mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in North and South America. Bocana, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Huiracocha International Service SRL, holds a 100% working interest in the mineral properties known as the Escala area concessions located in the Department of Potosi, Sud Lipez Province, Bolivia, as awarded by Comibol.
