Tribe Tech's first autonomous RC Drill Rig successfully delivered to Australia

Tribe Technology PLC (AIM: TRYB), a disruptive technology-first developer and manufacturer of world-class autonomous mining equipment, is pleased to announce the arrival of its first autonomous reverse circulation ("RC") TTDS GC 700 drill rig (the "Drill Rig") from the manufacturing site in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to the Australian Automation & Robotics Precinct ("AARP") in Australia.

This is a major milestone for the Company and is the culmination of significant engineering hours over the last four years, pioneering design and innovation along with extensive collaboration with our first customer, McKay Drilling (a subsidiary of Major Drilling Group International Inc ("Major Drilling")).

This first Drill Rig has been manufactured and sold to industry leading drilling contractor, Major Drilling, for use at a tier 1 iron ore mining asset in Australia. In line with the Company's announcement on 30 July 2024, the Drill Rig arrived on schedule in Perth, Australia. The Company will now undertake, in collaboration with the customer, additional system testing, integration with the Tribe Tech autonomous sample system, development of the software remote control systems and test drilling of holes at a depth of up to 60 metres at the AARP, located in Perth.

In line with the Company's contract with the customer, a stage payment invoice has been issued and paid at this milestone.
