FURTHER CONTRACT WIN STRENGTHENS SCOTT TECHNOLOGY’S POSITION IN MINING SECTOR

Automation and robotics solutions provider, Scott Technology (NZX: SCT), has been awarded a further
multi-million dollar contract by Rio Tinto to provide and commission the equipment for a new sample
preparation and analysis laboratory at the Robe Valley mine site in Western Australia.

This is the second significant iron-ore sample laboratory project awarded to Scott Technology by Rio
Tinto in 2020. It builds on the decades-long relationship between the two businesses and Scott’s
expertise and experience in this area.

The Robe Valley project scope comprises of equipment from Scott Technology’s Rocklabs business as
well as third party supply. Work has begun on the development and planning for the new laboratory,
which is expected to commence operation in June 2021.

CEO of Scott Technology, John Kippenberger, said: “Scott has demonstrated success at many iron-ore
mine site laboratories in recent years, with our Rocklabs crushers and mills providing safe, reliable,
productive operation for our clients. We are excited to be working with the Rio Tinto team on another
important mining laboratory project. This comes on the back of the positive Rio Tinto Koodaideri
project work, which is currently underway and also in Western Australia. As recently announced,
building work and site mobilisation has commenced at Koodaideri, in line with the original timetable.

“This latest contract award further cements Scott’s evolution in the mining sector from a world leading
supplier of sample preparation equipment, to a complete end-to-end automation and analysis
solution provider. The iron-ore sector is continuing to experience positive interest and investment in
automation given the underlying strength in demand across precious metals and iron ore. We see an
increasing opportunity for our business, for more projects of the same scale with both existing and
new customers as they seek increased safety and greater productivity."
