Is it possible to mine for new tokens on the EOS network or is it only possible to purchase them from exchanges or other sources?

No, it is not possible to mine for new tokens on the EOS network.

The EOS network uses a consensus algorithm called Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) which does not require miners to validate transactions. Instead, the network is secured by a set of 21 elected block producers who are responsible for validating transactions and producing blocks. The only way to acquire new tokens on the EOS network is to purchase them from exchanges or other sources.

This can be done using fiat currency or other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
