MineHub Technologies (TSXV: MHUB; US-OTCQB: MHUBF), a leading provider of digital supply chain solutions for the commodity markets, announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding dated January 6, 2026 with Spider Labs GmbH, a Berlin-based pioneer in traceability and digital product passports (DPPs). Minespider operates a leading global traceability platform for mining and raw materials that allows companies to track carbon emissions, critical compliance documents, and supply chain histories through digital product passports (DPPs) and digital battery passports (DBPs).

These tools serve as key instruments for tracking critical minerals, batteries, metals, and circular supply chains. The partnership supports MineHub's strategy to deliver comprehensive visibility and efficiency across global supply chains, particularly for critical minerals and battery materials essential to the energy transition, while addressing urgent regulatory mandates and market demand for transparent, ESG-compliant sourcing.

"By expanding MineHub's suite of tools to include Minespider's digital product passports and digital battery passports, already validated at scale through the world's largest traceability initiatives, we're enabling industries to meet compliance mandates and adapt to market volatility with greater precision by enhanced visibility and trust across supply chains," Andrea Aranguren, CEO of MineHub, commented.

She added: "This isn't just about keeping pace with regulations; it's about advancing resilience, where transparency fosters competitive advantage and long-term value. As the ESG compliance market is projected to reach $65B+ by 2027 at 14.9% CAGR[1], this partnership is expected to play a role in supporting the industry's growing need for transparent and sustainable supply chain practices,"

"The MineHub team shares our vision of a future where global supply chains are fully transparent, highly efficient, and digitally connected, from the mine to the end product. The raw materials sector is in urgent need of digitalization and by collaborating to unite our strengths and suite of innovative tools, we are positioned to lead this transformation and drive change across the industry," Nathan Williams, CEO of Minespider, stated.

The MOU establishes that both parties will collaborate broadly on opportunities to drive digitization within physical commodities markets. Initial collaboration will include cross-selling of products and possible platform integration. Through strategic cooperation, Minespider and MineHub will leverage the strength of their combined network of customers and partners to accelerate commercial momentum while expanding the value they deliver to customers by better serving the market.

Strategic synergy: Compliance, scale and growth

MineHub and Minespider share a mission to enable industries with actionable, secure data across complex supply chains. The companies can provide more comprehensive solutions to challenges driven by the energy transition, regulations, and evolving ESG priorities.

The partnership positions MineHub and Minespider to more effectively meet increasing demand for integrated, digital solutions as companies strive to comply with mandates like the EU Battery Regulation, Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), and G7 critical mineral mandates, where Minespider has already deployed its DPPs/DBPs. Minespider's leading-edge platform tracks materials' origin, carbon footprint, and sustainability metrics and integrates seamlessly into MineHub's end-to-end digital platform, enhancing MineHub's data capabilities and overall value proposition.

Minespider demonstrates commercial traction in key emerging markets including Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia and maintains impressive partnerships such as Tata Elxsi, Renault, and Minsur, the second-largest refined tin producer globally representing 9.8% of global tin production, which broadens MineHub's ecosystem and sales pipeline opportunities. Cross-functional team expertise in regulatory compliance, mining operations, and supply chain digitization leverages deep industry relationships to deliver scalable, compliance-ready solutions for global commodity markets.

Collaboration benefits

MineHub and Minespider together can deliver enhanced strategic value to customers through improved capabilities and expanded reach. Customers gain the ability to track materials and compliance documentation from source to product, enhancing their ability to demonstrate ESG compliance and meet buyer demand for responsibly sourced materials amid fragmented critical mineral supply. Minespider's work in emerging markets, with companies such as LuNa Smelter in Rwanda and Woodcross Resources in Uganda, positions MineHub more effectively as it seeks to establish itself in new growing markets, such as such as Africa and Latin America, where critical mineral production is rapidly expanding.

The collaboration enables both companies to offer more comprehensive solutions that address the full spectrum of supply chain challenges, from mine-to-market traceability to regulatory compliance and ESG reporting. Customers will benefit from integrated platforms that provide real-time visibility into their supply chains while ensuring adherence to evolving international standards and regulations.

The partnership also creates opportunities for joint product development and innovation, allowing both companies to leverage their combined expertise in digital technologies and supply chain management. This collaborative approach is expected to accelerate the development of new technologies that meet the evolving needs of the global commodities market, particularly as industries face increasing pressure to demonstrate sustainable and responsible sourcing practices.
