What is BLOOD M1N3?
BLOOD M1N3 is an illegal mining documentation project on Ethereum.
Our mission is to map the world's illegal mines on Web3 and we begin mapping the Amazonian mining crisis in Venezuela with a series of unique BLOOD M1N3 NFTs.
What is a BLOOD M1N3 NFT?
BLOOD M1N3 NFTs are unique 3D topographic videos created from a photograph of a chartered international or Venezuelan-state satellite.
Each illegal mine we document is released as a limited and unique edition of BLOOD M1NE NFTs, capturing the mine from a satellite.
We also release a 0100-edition mine report which is a satellite image of the mine accompanied with mine data, and research from journalists and academics.
All the information about the BLOOD M1N3s will be documented in a public spreadsheet.
More information on our first BLOOD M1N3 NFTs drop coming soon.
What happens when I buy a BLOOD M1N3 NFT?
When you buy a BLOOD M1N3 NFT, 80% of the funds will go directly to sustainable mining advocacy groups, reforestation and detoxification projects, and local indigenous groups living within illegal mining regions.
The rest of the funds will be used to continue documenting BLOOD M1N3s, including charting new satellite images and creating updates about the mines which we will airdrop to holders.
More details soon on this blog.
Who is BLOOD M1N3?
We are group of individuals who work toward the conservation of the Amazon and other mining regions.
We are not anti-mining. We are pro sustainable mining. We are against the blood mines that perpetuate slave labor, mass murder, ecological destruction, loss of Indigenous culture, and contamination of people, land, and water systems.
We are pro accountability in the value chain of technology and pro fair compensation for the individuals on the ground.
We demand accountability for the destruction the world's insatiable need for rare earths has caused.
What is your roadmap?
Blood M1N3 plans to partner with organisations such as SOS Orinoco to first map all illegal mines in the Venezuelan region of the Amazon rainforest.
The first Blood M1N3 is Aracamuni and we will reveal the next Blood M1N3 when Aracamuni NFTs sell out. In this way every Blood M1N3 funds the documentation of the next one.
With every new Blood M1N3 we will deliver a free update Airdrop to all holders about the current situation and newest findings.
M1 Aracamuni mine + Community launch 01.04.2022 M2 Blood M1N3 0002 + Free Update Airdrop to Blood Mine NFT Owners M3 Blood M1N3 0003 + Free Update Airdrop to Blood Mine NFT Owners
And so on, until we document all illegal mines in the Venezuelan Rainforest. Our plan is then to move to other illegal mining regions afterwards.
