BullionFX is developing a gold-backed cryptocurrency token that it intends to list on as yet decided secondary market exchanges and forex platforms in the future and launch a suite of payment and debt solutions. BullionFX are currently at the stage of developing 'smart contracts' (this a technical term for the code that goes into blockchain).

Torian Executive Director Peretz Schapiro said "Our drilling results over the last few months has demonstrated that we are serious about setting up Torian as a significant player in the gold industry. As part of this growth, it is important that we try and stay ahead of the curve within our industry, as any successful business would.

Gold has been regarded as a storage of wealth and a hedge against inflation for millennia.

However, over recent years we have seen a rise in alternatives, specifically cryptocurrencies. Among its many advantages, crypto offers a transportability and a payment mechanism that gold in its pure form simply lacks. For example, it is physically challenging to walk into a grocery store and pay for your shopping with a sliver of gold, whereas this can be done quite simply by paying with a fraction or multiples of a cryptocurrency. On the other hand, the majority of cryptocurrencies are backed by nothing, and as such lack the underlying asset backing and tangibility which are some of gold's key features.

By marrying gold and cryptocurrencies and forming a crypto which is backed by physical gold, it brings together the best of both asset classes, and propels physical gold and gold ownership into the digital age. Digitising gold simply gives gold further utility, and if widely adopted would be a key factor in increasing the value of gold itself.

As part of this agreement, and subject to consulting with the ASX in relation to the application of ASX Listing Rule 12.5, Torian's advisory role with BullionFX will focus on the potential for resource companies to engage the use of existing projects' reserves inventory to capture value for shareholders. The advisory role represents an exciting opportunity to assist exploration and mining companies to potentially unlock value for shareholders.

The above demonstrates our belief that the future of gold lies not in the metal itself, but in the ability for humanity to create methods where gold has increased utility. We believe that a gold backed cryptocurrency represents this future, and as such we are excited to be able to give our shareholders significant ground floor, yet low risk exposure to what we believe is the future of our industry.

BullionFX has developed a world class team and share register which includes high profile investors from the finance, precious metals and payment industries. As Torian moves closer to production of its physical gold, it will look to leverage these relationships in the form of potentially cheaper production deals.

It is for these reasons that we have chosen to invest in BullionFX, as we believe they have the perfect mix of the right business model, solid financial backing and key industry personnel to set the future of gold on a new and exciting path.

BullionFX Founder Stephen Moss said, "BullionFX is bringing currency back to the gold standard. Currency markets are currently reliant on central banks adjusting money supply to stimulate the economy and achieve various economic policies, as opposed to maximising the value of currency itself. Through the application of blockchain technology, physical gold bullion can now be issued on a decentralised registry operating audited trust nodes and be traded on a fractional basis among peer-to-peer networks, or as a payment system linked to global spot market liquidity.

We are excited to partner with a company like Torian who, in addition to proving up what seems to be a significant gold deposit at their Mt Stirling project, are backed by innovative and forward-thinking management.

Torian Resources' investment along with our other recent and high profile investors, demonstrates a significant show of confidence in our business model. We are excited about launching our suite of payment, decentralised finance, and market solutions as we move towards our public offer which is planned for Q2 of this year.

We are excited to welcome Torian to our team at BullionFX and look forward to a productive and mutually beneficial working relationship for years to come."
