MineHub signs agreement with major Chinese smelter for the use of MineHub's Trade Management Platform

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 26, 2024) - MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV: MHUB) (OTCQB: MHUBF) ("MineHub" or the "Company"), a leading provider of digital supply chain solutions for the commodity markets, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with its first Chinese smelting company (the "Smelter") as a user of MineHub's Trade Management Platform. This marks an important milestone in the Company's expansion into the Chinese copper market. China is the by far the world's largest consumer of copper, representing approximately 57% of global copper consumption in 2023 and accounts for nearly 8.7 million metric tons of copper demand ¹. With the largest smelting capacity in the world and a robust domestic manufacturing supply chain, China is a critical market for the global copper ecosystem.

The Smelter, who prefers to remain unnamed at this time, processes, manufactures and distributes copper products. Through MineHub's advanced technology, the Smelter will be benefit from heightened visibility, traceability, and operational efficiencies. Specifically, they will leverage MineHub's digital contract management, real-time shipment visibility, and document management functionality to facilitate their orders and logistical operations with MineHub customers.

Andrea Aranguren, CEO of MineHub, expressed excitement about the new contract, "We are thrilled to onboard our first Chinese smelting company onto the platform. China is a significant target market for MineHub given its scale and importance in commodities markets, and this partnership marks an important step forward in penetrating the Chinese copper market."

Given the Smelter's data security standards, this represents a significant validation of the high level of security and adaptability of the MineHub platform's capabilities. Our cloud-based, secure trade management platform and suite of tools is SOC II-Type 2 certified and regularly tested for vulnerabilities and updates.

The Smelter expects to integrate its refined copper business onto the MineHub platform starting with a key supplier in Asia. This strategic move underscores the growing commitment of Chinese companies to leverage digital solutions for optimizing operations and enhancing efficiency.
