Scott Expands Mining Automation

Scott Technology Expands Mining Automation to Commercial Laboratory Market
Auckland, NZ – [16 June 2026] – Scott Technology (NZX:SCT) has secured a major contract to deliver an
Automated Modular Solution (AMS) crush cell for one of the world's largest testing, inspection and certification
providers, marking its first deployment of this new technology into a large-scale commercial minerals laboratory.
The contract extends Scott's Rocklabs AMS platform beyond on-site mine applications into the broader testing
services market, a significant step in the platform's commercial expansion. As minerals testing providers invest
in larger, more automated laboratory models, Scott's modular approach offers a flexible, repeatable solution
that can be deployed efficiently and expanded over time.
The Rocklabs AMS is designed to positively disrupt mine and commercial laboratory sample preparation,
delivering significantly improved sample throughput, quality and lab safety. This deployment will support
upstream sample preparation workflows associated with advanced minerals testing technologies, including
Photon Assay, where consistent sample handling is critical to analytical outcomes. This represents Scott's
Leading-Edge Technology pillar in action - a core driver of the company's Destination 2030 growth strategy, built
on deep market understanding and a clear view of where the industry is heading.
“The commercial laboratory sector represents a deliberate expansion of our mining automation platform, and
this contract is an important proof point," said Mike Christman, CEO of Scott Technology. "With a strategic focus
on Customer First and Leading-Edge Technology, we are deepening relationships with global-scale customers,
extending our Rocklabs portfolio into new operating environments, and building a foundation for longer-term
product lifecycle opportunities - all core to our Destination 2030 growth strategy."
The system is expected to be delivered during FY26, with a pathway for future expansion subject to operational
performance.
