In this episode, we chat with Dave Mitchell and David Van Kleeck of PJKT72, who are transforming the mining industry through blockchain tokenization and redefining resource ownership through blockchain tokenization.

We’re diving into a conversation at the intersection of blockchain and the natural world where two pioneers are aiming to reshape how we value, protect, and access the planet’s raw materials.

We discuss:

What inspired the creation of MetWave — and how it’s targeting real-world problems in mining and energy.
The difference between MetWave Green and MetWave Black — and how this dual-token model could transform environmental protection and investment.
What it really means to tokenize coal in situ — and why that’s fundamentally different from traditional resource ownership.
And whether this model could extend to other critical materials like lithium, rare earths, or even natural gas.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The MetWave Green token provides a mechanism for environmental protection by allowing stakeholders to invest in keeping coal in the ground
The use of blockchain technology and smart contracts enables verifiable and instantaneous transactions, improving traceability and efficiency in the coal supply chain
While the current focus is on coal, the tokenisation model has the potential to be applied to other natural resources, such as graphite, graphene, and possibly rare earth elements

BEST MOMENTS

"The green token is an opportunity to leave the coal in place, providing a voice that hasn't existed before in how carbon is emitted into the atmosphere."

"By tokenising it, what it's doing is opening up opportunities that had not been available to both public and private investors."

"The smart contracts in the blockchain would enforce that, providing a transparent, permanent record of the transactions that are done."
