DL MINETRACE - LIVE

August 30^th, 2022 Version 1.0.0

In this release, Teck Resources uses DL MineTrace for the end-to-end traceability of responsibly produced Germanium Tetrachloride and Germanium Dioxide. This marks the first use of DL MineTrace and blockchain technology to trace this critical mineral.

The following features are included as part of this release of DL MineTrace.

Application of two main workflows for end-to-end traceability of supplier accreditations and raw material shipments through to product creation:
- Supplier Onboarding: This workflow allows new suppliers to onboard themselves onto the DL MineTrace platform as a one-time activity by adding different details like their ISO certifications, site details, safety data sheet, etc. It will also be used to update the certification details as and when they expire.
- Shipment: This workflow allows suppliers to add raw material shipment details like the shipping assays, product information, sailing date, etc.
Capture Germanium and Zinc attributes at each designated touchpoint along the chain of custody through manual and electronic inputs.
Provide a single, shared version of truth between multiple business process participants (internal and external to Teck Resources).
