From Ore to On-Chain: How Dmytro Konoval is Digitizing Gold Mining with Aurous.Finance

Dubai, UAE – June 2025 — As global industries demand radical transparency, real-world asset authentication, and decentralized trust, Dmytro Konoval, the visionary CEO and founder of Aurous.Finance, is rewriting the playbook for the gold mining industry. By fusing large-scale industrial extraction with advanced blockchain protocols, AI-driven data analytics, and tokenized asset verification, Konoval is launching the world into a new era of gold—one that’s intelligent, traceable, and digitally sovereign.

Headquartered in the UAE and operational in Northern Sudan’s resource-rich Bayuda Desert, Aurous.Finance is more than a mining operation—it is a vertically integrated digital infrastructure project redefining how raw commodities are authenticated, tokenized, and monetized globally.

From Earth to On-Chain: Data-Driven Gold Mining at Scale

With a licensed territory spanning over 330 square kilometers, Aurous.Finance is extracting gold from ore averaging 4 grams per ton, with over 90,000 tons already mined. Its next-gen facility—equipped with industrial crushers, rotary ball mills, vat leaching systems, and a precision-engineered CIL refinery—is currently scaling toward processing 28,800 tons of ore monthly, delivering up to 28.8 kilograms of high-purity gold every month.

But the true revolution lies beneath the surface—not in the rock, but in the digital backbone that powers every operational detail.

The World’s First Fully Tokenized, Sensor-Verified Gold Supply Chain

Aurous.Finance has engineered a world-first blockchain-based system that creates a real-time, tamper-proof audit trail from geological data to refined gold output—with every verified batch minted as an NFT.

Here’s how the technology works:

  • Industrial IoT sensors embedded within the milling infrastructure monitor ore volume and every rotation of the mill drum.
  • Geospatial mining maps and AI-based geological models estimate yield per batch.
  • Upon refining, this structured data feeds directly into the minting engine to create a unique NFT per batch, embedding:
    • GPS-coordinated origin
    • Drum rotation and volume logs
    • Lab-certified gold purity and yield reports
    • Time-stamped production and blockchain minting records
    • Hash-verified refining confirmation

Once the physical gold is claimed or reserved, the corresponding NFT is permanently burned, ensuring one NFT per real-world gold batch—eliminating duplication risk and forging an unbreakable link between physical and digital assets.

 

Powered by Strategic Blockchain Infrastructure

To bring this innovation to global markets, Konoval has forged alliances with two blockchain titans:

  • MintToAsset: Specializing in real-world asset tokenization and global auditability.
  • Minttora: Delivering institutional-grade NFT minting, custody protocols, and compliant investor interfaces.

These partners enable Aurous.Finance to maintain enterprise-level integrity, security, and scalability across its decentralized mining ecosystem.

 

A Pan-African Infrastructure Blueprint

With Sudan as its flagship operation, Aurous.Finance is already executing a multi-jurisdictional African expansion plan, with groundwork laid in Kenya, Ethiopia, and additional gold-rich regions. Each future site will replicate the company’s sensor-augmented extraction model, integrated directly into its proprietary blockchain traceability framework.

The vision? To create a continent-wide network of data-enhanced, tokenized mining operations—delivering verifiable African gold to the world, with built-in compliance, transparency, and real-time access.

 

Dmytro Konoval: The Technologist Behind the Transformation

At the center of this sweeping innovation is Dmytro Konoval, a Ukrainian-born technologist, entrepreneur, and infrastructure strategist. With a background in industrial-scale crypto mining, rare earth supply chains, and cross-border African trade, Konoval brings more than leadership—he brings engineering precision, financial insight, and deep regional experience.

Having operated across Africa for more than seven years, Konoval possesses rare expertise at the intersection of frontier markets and advanced digital systems. His leadership is not only driving performance—but architecting a new model of global resource legitimacy.

“In today’s world, gold without proof is just speculation. We don’t just mine gold. We mint verifiable truth,” says Konoval.

 

Conclusion: Mining Truth in the Digital Age

Aurous.Finance is proving that gold’s future isn’t just underground—it’s on-chain. By combining industrial mining operations with real-time data systems, cryptographic proof, and blockchain finance, Dmytro Konoval is launching a paradigm where every gram of gold is certified, traceable, and trusted.

In an era where authenticity is currency, Aurous.Finance is not just extracting metal—it’s extracting trust, transparency, and technological permanence.
