# Issuance Process

Asteroid X introduces an innovative approach to financing mining projects through the issuance of Mining Rights NFTs. This process is divided into two main stages, providing a comprehensive and secure method for both mining rights holders and investors.

#### 1. Stage One: Review and Assessment

* Application Submission: Mining companies or individuals apply for financing one or more mining rights. They provide Asteroid X with essential information disclosed by the government, such as legal documents, mining area details, geological reports, technical reports, and feasibility studies.
* Third-Party Evaluation: Asteroid X, based on the information provided by the applicants, conducts an on-site inspection and assessment of the mining area through a third-party agency. This step is crucial to determine the financing scale and value of the mining rights.
* Digital Modeling with Drone Technology: Utilizing drone technology, Asteroid X digitizes the physical mining area, creating a 3D model of the mining rights. This model is showcased through a visual data mode, enhancing the understanding and value of the mining rights.
* Blockchain Integration: The mining rights are then uploaded to the blockchain, establishing a decentralized point for digital asset conversion of the mining rights. This process ensures the confirmation of ownership rights for both the mining rights holder and the investors.

#### 2. Stage Two: Launch and Trading

* NFT Purchase: Investors can purchase mining rights NFTs through Asteroid X, becoming holders and beneficiaries of the mining rights. They enjoy the same mining profits as the original rights holders.
* Utilization of Funds: Post-financing, the mining rights owners use the funds for geological exploration reports, exploration activities, and to explore greater value for the mining rights.
* Periodic Reporting and Further Financing: Asteroid X requires periodic submission of reports for updates. If further potential is discovered, subsequent rounds of financing (Series A, B, etc.) can be initiated.
* Free Trading of NFTs: Investors have the freedom to buy or sell mining rights NFTs at any stage through Asteroid X.

#### 3. Stage Three: Exit Mechanism

* Profit from Sale or Merger: The mining rights can be profitably sold or merged with offers from larger mining companies.
* NFT Buyback and Destruction: Prior to listing on the ASX, the mining rights owners will buy back and destroy all NFTs based on the latest valuation.
* Value Appreciation in Reports: If subsequent reports reveal more valuable information (e.g., resource quantity, grade), the value of the NFTs may increase, potentially yielding higher returns.
* Profit from Subsequent Financing Rounds: Investors from earlier financing rounds can sell their stakes in the open market during subsequent rounds of financing, realizing profits.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://asteroid-x-1.gitbook.io/asteroid-x-product-book/product/issuance-process.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
