LODE is associated with a community of silver owners and sound money advocates with a common vision to cause the creation of a Swiss Centrally Organized Distributed Entity (CODE) that will organize, arrange, manage and provide oversight for a unique blockchain-enabled smart-contract representation of reserved and vaulted silver bullion. The LODE is an idea that may be arranged once enthusiasm from the community is firmly established. Further, the LODE is an abstract and not a legal entity of any kind, and neither volunteers, Facilitators, coordinators, nor arms-length vendors or contractors can advise on the status of the CODE worldwide and/or any prohibitions, if any, in any jurisdiction, now or in the future.

Prospective pledgers, contributors, stakeholders and/or owners of encrypted token products must draw their own conclusions, relying on legal or lawful advice where appropriate and at their own expense. The community organizers are not qualified or available to offer legal or lawful advice. If the LODE causes a Centrally Organized Distributed Entity to be established, it will be for the community benefit and the LODE will collectively manage the undertaking.

CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY MINING THE MOTHERLODE “Putting idle silver to work one gram at a time”

2017-08-10 - Version 3.9

The MOTHER-LODE is a principal vein or zone of veins of gold or silver ore. The term is also used colloquially to refer to the origin of something valuable or in great abundance. ____________________________________________ Ambitious Placer miners follow gold-bearing sands upstream to discover the source in the bedrock. This source is called the "mother" of the gold in the river and so was dubbed the "mother lode". The term probably came from a literal translation of the Spanish veta madre, a term common in old Mexican mining.

The emergence of blockchain technology allows us to imagine a new paradigm, one where silver is restored to the economic system and used by millions as a valuable utility to settle trade and commerce.

INTRODUCING

CRYPTOGRAPHIC SILVER A NEW PARADIGM

2017-08-10 - Version 3.9

Today, blockchain architecture is incubating innovative new business models, and many experts believe the technology will empower new monetary systems, and perhaps even disrupt the usurious money employed and mandated by todays centralized institutions. If you are a finance professional, fund manager, silver speculator, silver enthusiast, merchant, miner or entrepreneur, you are invited to consider the information presented in this document and learn about a system that synchronizes blockchain technology with the sound properties of investment-grade silver to create an exciting new form of asset-secured money. What you are about to read is disruptive. Private and Confidential - ÂŠ LODE 2017 All Rights Reserved

THE IDEA

The LODE Silver System (LSS) presented is an idea, an abstract of what certain LODE community members have designed and scaled to fit the needs of a global society of sound money advocates who recognize that silver can serve as an affordable, verifiable, safe, and secure store of value, and that when “tokenized” upon a private blockchain, may become a superior medium of exchange, one that returns to the economic system a fungible, private, resilient, and autonomous unit of account. SILVER CONTRIBUTORS + BLOCKCHAIN + USERS = THE RESTORATION OF SOUND-MONEY

2017-08-10 - Version 3.9

BLOCKCHAIN

SILVER-LODE-SYSTEM TWO ASSETS

Certain LODE organizers believe it possible to structure two tokenized assets upon a blockchain architecture that each uniquely represents a special interest in reserved silver bullion. The first asset, referred to as LODE-Token (LT), will reflect a contributorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stake in the LSS and a right to a growing and valuable return. The second asset, referred to as LODE-Coin (LC), will serve merchants and speculators seeking a private and sound utility for commerce and speculation, and include a right of claim (exchange) to the reserved silver bullion. The entire model is based upon the anchoring of reserved and vaulted silver bullion to two cryptographic assets, each underwriting the other.

2017-08-10 - Version 3.9

LODE-TOKEN SMART CONTRACT CONTRIBUTOR CERTIFICATE

HOW IT WORKS First, participants contribute investment-grade silver bullion (or gold equivalent) to the LODE vault(s). This silver will be assayed, certified 99.99% pure, and then reserved and insured by the vault master, Silver Gold Depository (SGD) (See Slide 16) Next, a corresponding contributor’s certificate is generated by way of a “smart contract” for the exact gram weight of each contribution, triggering a digital LT at a rate of .85 for every one (1) gram of silver. The LTs will be delivered to the contributor’s private wallet, leaving a verifiable and immutable receipt upon the blockchain.

2017-08-10 - Version 3.9

LODE-COIN

SMART CONTRACT COIN CREATION SMART CONTRACT Smart contracts are computer protocols that facilitate, verify, and enforce the negotiation or performance of a contract or that make a contractual clause unnecessary. Smart contracts often emulate the logic of contractual clauses. Smart contracts aim to provide security superior to traditional contract law, and to reduce other transaction costs associated with contracting.

2017-08-10 - Version 3.9

. HOW IT WORKS, Continued

Each 1 gram of silver bullion secured to the LODE vault(s) will enable the “INTERFIX ENGINE” (see Slide 12) to create and issue 1-LC, which will be offered to speculators, merchants, etc. at plus 15% to the “spot” price of silver. The inflows realized from this initial sale will be deployed towards the purchase of additional silver bullion to secure and issue a 2nd traunch of LCs, again at a margin, which ensures the reserved silver bullion exceeds the new LCs outstanding. The bullion purchases and corresponding LC sales “cycles” can continue for as long as silver bullion remains available for purchase, regardless of the fiat price.

HOW IT WORKS, Continued

LODE-TOKEN

REWARDS

Each new cycle adds to the ‘marginal’ stack of silver, allowing for a growing and valuable return to flow to LT holders in the form of LC. Returns are issued from the LODEPAY INTERFIX engine (see Slide 12 & 13). It is important to note that the contributed silver bullion from participants cannot be returned as it will be creating value for the LT holders. However, with every cycle of this (above-ground) mining machine, an ever increasing supply of LCs are returned to the participants which can be exchanged for bullion products (see Slide 16). It should also be noted that merchants participating in the LODE system will pay a 2% per transaction fee (LC users will pay no fees!). These fees will be used to further create additional rewards to LT holders in the form of LCs, which can also be exchanged for bullion products or utilized for trade and commerce.

2017-08-10 - Version 3.9

SMART CONTRACT

TOKEN & COIN ISSUANCE

2017-08-10 - Version 3.9

LCs will provide users and speculators with the ability to transfer value over a private, secure, autonomous, and immutable blockchain, with every transmission enabled by private encryption . keys.

LODE-COIN

SOUND-SILVER-MONEY INSTANT UTILITY

LCs may be converted at any time, and in any amount, for retail bullion products at the prevailing “spot” rate of exchange for 1 gram of silver, with expedited delivery available to virtually any country on Earth (see Slide 16). Additionally, LCs may be deposited with an authorized cryptocurrency exchange operator and sold for fiat money or other alt-coins such as Bitcoin, Ether, and others (subject to the operators terms and conditions). LCs also may be used to settle commerce with participating merchants, or held as a means to speculate upon a rising or falling price of silver.

2017-08-10 - Version 3.9

INTERFIX ENGINE

The INTERFIX ENGINE is the “linking element” which synchronizes the Token, the Vault, and the Coin operations. The INTERFIX will function in a synchronized, consistent, disciplined and transparent manner similar to the movements of a clock. Each sales cycle of LCs is referred to as a “cycle” of the INTERFIX CLOCK. The INTERFIX will ONLY rotate as long as silver bullion is transacted to/from the vault(s). With each cycle of the INTERFIX, the reserved weight of silver bullion will grow beyond the number of LCs outstanding. This marginal silver bullion will be utilized for the operation of the INTERFIX and for flowing rewards as LODEPAY to the LT holders (see Slide 13 & 14).

Steven currently owns and operates The Sun City Silver and Gold Exchange in Kelowna B.C. where he consults with investors on the merits of sound money and their physical delivery.
