MINEHUB UNVEILS AI TRADE EXECUTION ASSISTANT AT IMRC 2026: EXPANDS PRESENCE IN INDIA TO SUPPORT GROWING DEMAND FOR DIGITAL SOLUTIONS IN INDUSTRIAL COMMODITIES

MineHub Technologies Inc. will be present at the International Material Recycling Conference (IMRC) 2026, which will take place from Jan. 20 to Jan. 22, 2026, at the Novotel Jaipur & Convention Centre in Jaipur. This premier event for the Indian recycling industry and international recycled metals traders and suppliers. The conference, which attracts over 1,900 participants, provides a unique platform for MineHub to showcase its latest innovations and strengthen its presence in the Indian market.

• MineHub unveils its innovative AI-powered tool designed to automate tedious tasks in trade execution, streamlining international industrial commodity trade and enhancing efficiency for its customers.
• MineHub establishes a permanent hub in India with a dedicated team, targeting the country's rapidly growing raw materials economy and aiming to support the growing demand for digital solutions in industrial commodities.

Andrea Aranguren, chief executive officer of MineHub, commented: "We are excited to launch our Commodity Trade Execution AI assistant, a next-generation tool designed to automate tedious tasks in trade execution. This innovation is a direct result of our strategic acquisition of Jules AI, which has enabled us to integrate AI capabilities into our platform. Furthermore, we are doubling down on the Indian and Southeast Asian markets with a dedicated team of 11 people on the ground to support the region's exploding demand for raw materials."

The Commodity Trade Execution AI assistant is designed to address the complexity of international industrial commodity trade, which requires the data entry of approximately 345 data points per trade, either unique or repeated in various key documents and support documents, as well as picture verification. The assistant moves beyond simple text generation by integrating directly with the Jules AI platform's APIs (application programming interfaces), allowing it to "act" rather than just "chat" -- creating orders and processing unstructured data (PDFs/images) into structured formats.

A key feature of the assistant is its ability to autonomously audit shipments by visually verifying container numbers on inspection photos against digital packing lists. To ensure industrial compliance standards, the model is confined to deterministic actions via API, ensuring zero data fabrication, while retaining a human-in-the-loop for final approval.

MineHub's strategic expansion into the Indian market is driven by the country's projected growth in resource consumption, with steel demand projected to increase to 200 million to 260 million tonnes by 2030 based on current trends. The company is formalizing a permanent hub in India to support market share in the rapidly growing raw materials economy. The local team is already actively supporting approximately a dozen key organizations, including recyclers, smelters and trading houses, such as Star Group (base metals) and Dhatu (ferrous scrap), in digitizing trade flows, streamlining documentation for importers and optimizing inventory management for the domestic market.

India's 500-gigawatt non-fossil fuel capacity target by 2030 is expected to significantly boost copper and aluminum demand, while the country faces a 20-million- to 30-million-tonne structural deficit in ferrous scrap by 2030 -- necessitating massive imports and complex cross-border logistics. MineHub's presence is positioned to support the growth of the "urban mine" industry and internal trade flows.
