Bocana Resources Corp. provides Corporate Update to Various Projects
Currently Underway
Calgary, January 9, 202 6 – Bocana Resources Corp. (TSXV: BOCA) (Frankfurt: VC1)
("Bocana" or the " Company") is pleased to provide an update to its current activities with
our funding/tokenization platform partner Arizore Ltd. ("Arizore") and a brief update on the
Arizona and Colorado projects.
The joint venture between Bocana and Arizore (the "Joint Venture") continues to progress
as Arizore advances the development of its reserve and ledger architecture, which is
intended to house verified in -ground and delivered assets. The platform (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, focused on the precious metals market , 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, subject
to all required regulatory approvals , including securities law compliance, 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 a range of 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.
“Together, we’re combining the trust and credibility of traditional mining with the scalability
and accessibility of blockchain,” said Tim Turner, CEO, Bocana. “This represents a significant
evolution in how value from physical resources can be realized.”
“The partnership with Bocana marks an important milestone for Arizore,” said John Smith,
Director of Arizore. “We’re creating an entirely new framework that merges tangible reserves
with digital liquidity, a model we believe will define the next generation of asset -backed
finance.”
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.
The TSX Venture Exchange has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed
transactions and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release.
