Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 6, 2023) – 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 its strategic partnership with several prominent mining and commodity analysis laboratories. The collaboration involves signed contracts with multiple labs that collectively represent the majority of mining and commodity analysis for MineHub’s esteemed customers. One of the key labs in this venture is ALS Global (“ALS“), headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, with global operations in Houston, Texas, USA.

Streamlining the assay exchange process provides MineHub users with a seamless digital solution for shipment nominations, accelerating workflows, and reducing manual efforts while maintaining transparency and industry integrity. Connecting multiple mining and commodity labs to the MineHub ecosystem is a pivotal step that enhances the value proposition to the supply chain. This integration allows MineHub to seamlessly incorporate the chemical results of commodities being assayed, offering unparalleled benefits to its customers, particularly large mining companies utilizing MineHub’s assay exchange functionality.

Andrea Aranguren, CEO of MineHub, stated, “The essential integration of MineHub’s platform with key labs emphasizes the critical need to digitize the supply chain. This highlights the apparent inefficiency of today’s manual processes. As part of this initiative, MineHub is at the forefront of spearheading the digital transformation of the supply chain, strategically optimizing operations, mitigating risks, and ultimately increasing profitability for our valued customers. Moreover, ALS’s adoption of cutting-edge technology and innovative methodologies ensures the delivery of the highest quality services, making them an ideal partner for MineHub’s digitization journey.”

Gale Smith, Executive General Manager of ALS, expresses enthusiasm about the integrated services, stating, “ALS Global believes the integrated services provided by MineHub will create greater efficiency as well as contributing to the innovation and integrity of the industry.”

By ensuring connectivity with these labs, MineHub empowers its users with a seamless and digital solution to nominate a trusted third party, or Umpire,(1) for a shipment. This transformative process accelerates timelines, reduces the volume of emails inundating inboxes, and provides data back from labs in a digital format, eliminating the reliance on cumbersome spreadsheets.

Noteworthy benefits of this integration include:

• Efficiency Boost: Streamlining the nomination process accelerates the entire workflow.
• Reduced Email Volume: Minimizing the need for email communication streamlines operations.
• Digital Data Retrieval: Accessing data in digital formats expedites decision-making.
• Automated Assay Table Generation: The platform automatically generates a final assay table, minimizing manual efforts.
• Seamless Integration with ETRM/Invoicing Solutions: Direct data transfer via APIs reduces human entry errors and operational risks.

Footnotes:
