Every year, Mining Magazine celebrates excellence in the mining industry by inviting their readers to nominate people, companies, projects and technologies that they feel have demonstrated outstanding commitment to advancing the state of play in mining over the past 12 months. The shortlisted candidates are then put to the vote.

MineHub is pleased to announce that it has won the “Technology” category at the 2019 Mining Magazine awards. MineHub was nominated for their award amongst other technology businesses that specialise in automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, digitalisation and blockchain.

Arnoud Star Busmann, CEO at MineHub said, “There is a great deal of innovation within the broader commodities space that is helping the sector address the environmental, compliance and cost challenges of the 21st Century. With our platform now live and a growing ecosystem that comprises top-tier global companies that have deep industry knowledge and are committed to drive technological innovation, we expect more mining, metals and financial businesses, both large and small, to join MineHub in 2020.”

Actively collaborating with IBM as their technology partner, the MineHub platform went live with a beta-release in October 2019 together with industry partners including Wheaton Precious Metals, Ocean Partners, Capstone Mining, Kutcho Copper, White and Case LLP, ING Bank and Kimura Capital.

Manish Chawla, Global Managing Director, Chemicals, Petroleum & Industrial Products, at IBM said, “MineHub is a leader in the digitalization of the mining and metals supply chain having built a solution that is designed to drive efficiency and transparency within the industry. Many congratulations to the team at MineHub, and at IBM for being recognized at the Mining Magazine Awards. We look forward to continuing our ground-breaking work with the team at MineHub.”
