Charlie King, Chief Executive Officer of Tribe Tech, commented:

 

"We are delighted to announce our admission to trading on AIM today. We believe that AIM is a natural fit for Tribe Tech, with its international investor base and proven track record for helping technology companies achieve their growth ambitions.

 

"Our technology is the solution to the reverse circulation (RC) drill rig market for improving efficiency and safety in the rapidly changing world. Today marks an important milestone for Tribe Tech. We are excited to be working towards the completion of our first autonomously operated drill rig later this year."

 

Background to the Group

 

Tribe Tech is a disruptive developer and manufacturer of autonomous mining equipment designed to improve productivity, reduce costs, and improves safety across the global industry. With the smart market mining size as a whole expected to reach US$23.05 billion by 2028, Tribe Tech is well positioned to be the leader in automotive drill rigs.

 

To date, reverse circulation ("RC") drilling has been characterised by a lack of automation due to the complexities of the systems required and the harsh conditions in which these machines operate. The Company's RC drill rigs are being developed to remove operators from the dangers that are involved in traditional RC drill rigs. The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") believe that time is a barrier to entry and has already invested extensive engineering hours in the development of the Tribe Tech Drill Rigs.

 

The Group has leveraged strong working relationships with key players globally and in Western Australia's Pilbara iron ore region to build market traction in its target customer base, ranging from contract drilling service companies to global mining operators and producers. The Company has secured firm orders in excess of £10.5 million, creating a strong commercial pipeline. Beyond its RC drill rigs, the Company is confident that it has the potential for a robust sales pipeline in relation to its sample system products, which can be sold on a stand-alone basis.
