SMX (Security Matters) plc has entered into a 120 day exclusive agreement with Sunshine Minting Inc., to create a path to full transparency and traceability for silver products from mine site to final products and recycling and the creation of an industry standard. With silver rarely being found in its pure form (native silver) and at least 80% of the world's silver being produced as a by-product of mining for other metals such as gold, copper, lead and zinc, this progression is considered by SMX to be the natural next step.
