• The integration advances the companies' September announcement to bring Abaxx Private Digital Title to in-transit non-ferrous shipments.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 22, 2025) - MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV: MHUB) (OTCQB: MHUBF) ("MineHub" or the "Company"), a leading provider of digital supply chain solutions for the commodity markets, and Abaxx Technologies Inc. (CBOE: ABXX) (OTCQX: ABXXF) ("Abaxx"), a financial software and market infrastructure company, majority shareholder of Abaxx Singapore Pte Ltd., the owner of Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse (individually, "Abaxx Exchange" and "Abaxx Clearing"), and producer of the SmarterMarkets™ Podcast, today announced the first technical integration of Abaxx's Verifier+ identity application with the MineHub platform.

This integration establishes the technical foundation for the previously announced pilot to use Abaxx Private Digital Title to enable real-time title transfers for in-transit shipments of non-ferrous metals¹. It marks the first milestone since the companies' September announcement and supports the broader effort to connect physical trade documentation - such as the bill of lading - with the financial systems that rely on it, allowing in-transit cargo to function as real-time collateral and improving liquidity and capital efficiency in commodity markets.

"MineHub digitizes and automates post-trade execution across global metals supply chains," said Andrea Aranguren, CEO of MineHub. "This initial integration with Abaxx connects our platforms in preparation for the pilot phase, designed to demonstrate how trusted ownership records can enable new forms of collateral efficiency across the metals trade."

"Where tokenization seeks to recreate markets on a ledger, we're focused on strengthening the legal frameworks that already support them," said Josh Crumb, Founder and CEO of Abaxx. "Through our series of digital title pilots - from precious metals and money market funds to commodities in motion - we're re-engineering the relationship between physical assets and financial risk management to unlock a USD 50 trillion opportunity in connecting real-world assets to modern collateral and settlement systems."

Following the technical integration, MineHub and Abaxx are engaging prospective market participants to help shape the upcoming pilot and its commercial use cases. Industry participants interested in learning more about the pilot may contact Esther Babb at ebabb@minehub.com.
