MineHub and TradeWaltz Announce Collaboration After Successful Proof of Concept with Sumitomo Corporation

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 12, 2022) - MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV: MHUB) (OTCQB: MHUBF) ("MineHub" or the "Company") is pleased to announce its collaboration with TradeWaltz Inc. after a successful proof of concept involving a copper ore import from Sumitomo Corporation. The companies intend to integrate their blockchain-based platforms to enable a seamless connection of mining & metals supply chains with digital trade services in Japan.

TradeWaltz Inc. is a company owned by a consortium of ten leading Japanese corporations including Mitsubishi Corporation, Toyota Tsusho Corporation, Mitsui-Soko Holdings Co., Ltd., Nissin Corporation and MUFG Bank, which has developed, with support from the Japanese government, a cross-industry trade collaboration platform that fully digitizes trade processes in Japan. MineHub is a platform for digitizing global supply chains, with a focus on mining & metals, and which has been co-created with leading corporations in the mining & metals industry, including Sumitomo Corporation.

Like MineHub, TradeWaltz is a blockchain-based platform and has already demonstrated a 45-60% increase in operational efficiency. As the first step of the collaboration, a proof of concept was conducted on March 23, 2022, using a Sumitomo Corporation copper ore import transaction. The results suggest up to a 60% improvement in business processing efficiency. The companies also presented the results at the Digital Trade Conference hosted by the International Chamber of Commerce UK on April 7, 2022.

Arnoud Star Busmann, CEO at MineHub Technologies, said "a key concern in the digital trade community is the emergence of digital islands, which limit the exponential benefits potential of connectivity. Our collaboration with TradeWaltz demonstrates how interoperability between leading platforms removes those constraints to unlock that exponential value creation for mining & metals supply chains. We are very excited to be working with these Japanese innovators TradeWaltz and Sumitomo Corporation on taking the industry further on its digitalisation journey."
