Bank Onboarding
Underwriting Overview
Certified Mineral Reserve Tokens (CMRTs) are designed to fit directly into existing commercial underwriting workflows. A CMRT represents a verified mineral reserve that has passed through standardized documentation, reserve validation, and audit review.
During underwriting, banks evaluate a CMRT much like other forms of asset-backed collateral. The review focuses on the issuer, reserve attributes, audit history, title clarity, and alignment with the bank’s internal credit policy. CMRTs simplify this process by providing uniform data fields, a consistent validation structure, and a standardized reporting package that reduces manual reconciliation.
Collateral Documentation
Banks receive a complete collateral package designed to mirror traditional secured-lending documentation standards. The package includes the key information needed to file and maintain perfected security interests.
Below are example data fields commonly included in CMRT collateral schedules:
- CMRT ID and issuance details
- Mineral reserve location and classification
- Verified reserve quantity
- Independent validation date
- Custody and chain-of-title references
- Applicable regulatory or jurisdictional identifiers
- Borrower and lender reference information
Banks can download the supporting templates used across the program, including:
- UCC-1 / UCC-3 Filing Templates
- Standardized Collateral Schedule Template (CMRT format)
- Borrower Attestation and Acknowledgment Form
These templates are aligned with the institutional standards used throughout the CMRT framework.
Verification Portal Access
All CMRTs can be authenticated directly through the Verification Portal.
Banks enter the CMRT ID to confirm:
- Issuance status
- Validation and audit timestamps
- Any updates, corrections, or amendments
- Whether a CMRT has been pledged, retired, or replaced
- The authoritative source record associated with the token
The portal ensures that lenders can independently verify the standing of any CMRT before accepting it as collateral or during ongoing monitoring.
CMRT Advance Rate Guidance
CMRTs include a defined risk-tier structure designed to align with common secured-lending practices. While each institution applies its own credit policy, the risk tiers help translate reserve quality, validation strength, and reporting transparency into guidance for advance rates.
In general:
- Tier 1 CMRTs represent the highest confidence level in reserve validation and documentation completeness.
- Tier 2 CMRTs represent strong reserves with standard underwriting considerations.
- Tier 3 CMRTs represent reserves with higher variability or reduced documentation depth.
Banks typically incorporate these tiers into their internal advance-rate matrices to determine allowable credit exposure. No proprietary formulas or sensitivities are used, only standardized risk signals that the bank integrates into its existing policy framework.
