• MineHub's Jules AI platform is expected to support annual recovered paper trade flows approaching 4 million tons, with teams in Southeast Asia, India, Europe and North America and expands MineHub's presence beyond metals and scrap

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 30, 2026) - 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 a commercial agreement with a global trader of recovered paper and recycled fibre.

Andrea Aranguren, CEO of MineHub, commented: "This agreement with a recovered paper trader further validates our ability to expand beyond our traditional metals markets. We're seeing paper emerging as a compelling segment for MineHub's Jules AI platform. These are high-volume, document-heavy businesses where back-office throughput determines how much material a team can actually move. Our system was built as a governed system of record which enables AI-powered automation capabilities that legacy trade management systems are unable to provide.

"MineHub has focused its commercial strategy on three pillars: (1) growing revenue in existing core markets, such as copper, aluminum and recycled metals, (2) expanding the customer base to adjacent markets, such as steel, iron ore and now paper, and (3) leveraging strategic partners to accelerate commercial momentum. MineHub's recent traction in expanding its customer base to paper traders further validates how MineHub's suite of digital tools is adaptable and well-suited for markets outside of traditional metals markets. The MineHub ecosystem is now expanding beyond mining companies, manufacturers and scrap traders to include leading paper trading companies as well."

Recycled paper and cardboard form one of the most documentation-intensive segments of the recycled commodities trade. Shipments move in high container volumes, each requiring a complete documentary set, and weights must be reconciled continuously between loading, transit and mill delivery. The customer selected MineHub's Jules AI platform for its comprehensive ability to capture the complete back-office workflow from trade execution to hedging to invoicing to claims management and reporting. The customer was drawn to MineHub's platform architecture designed for agent-based workflows including automated capture of weights from loading documents and the cross-checking of bills of lading and booking confirmations against contract terms, together with its integration depth across ERP, freight and supply chain visibility systems.

Positioned for Growth in an Automation-Critical Segment with Natural Adjacencies

Recovered fibre is one of the largest recycled commodities traded internationally, with more than 200 million tons traded annually and containerized flows running from collection markets in Europe and North America to mill capacity across Asia. Margins per ton are thin relative to metals, which makes back-office efficiency a direct commercial lever rather than an administrative concern: the volume a team can move is constrained by the documentation it can process. Tightening waste shipment regulation and documentary requirements continue to raise the administrative burden on every shipment. The segment also sits alongside closely related trades such as pulp, board and stocklots, which are frequently handled by the same trading houses and run on the same contract structures, documentary sets and logistics patterns.
