Sky Works Ventures-backed company "Shenmai Mining" made its debut at AWE: The annual output value of a gold mine in Pakistan exceeds one billion, and embodied intelligence is reshaping mineral exploration.

On March 12, Shenmai Mining made its debut at the AWE 2026 Shanghai Exhibition. Centered around the theme of "Embodied Intelligence + Mining", it comprehensively presented the practical achievements of the in - depth integration of embodied intelligent robots and mining scenarios. This is another key appearance of Shenmai Mining on the international stage after the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada Annual Conference (PDAC 2026), the world's largest mining event.

At the exhibition, Shenmai Mining not only demonstrated the latest iterative results of its core system, "DeepPupil Exploration", but also publicly announced for the first time the actual implementation progress of its gold mine exploration project in Pakistan, responding to the outside world's concerns about the implementation ability of mining robot technology with verifiable evidence.

Technical Depth: Supported by the Dreame Ecosystem, Connecting the Underlying Links between Consumer Electronics and Industrial Scenarios

As an enterprise invested by the Sky Workshop Venture Capital Fund and an ecological partner of Dreame Technology, Shenmai Mining is achieving cross - domain technology transfer through ecological collaboration: transplanting the mature capabilities of autonomous navigation, environmental perception, and cluster control verified in the consumer market to the mining scenario, and building the "DeepPupil Exploration" system integrating hardware and software.

This platform enables high - precision exploration in complex environments such as cliffs and abandoned mines through the collaborative operation of drones equipped with multi - spectral and magnetic sensors and robotic dogs with autonomous sampling capabilities. A single robotic dog can automatically collect 30 to 50 rock samples at a time, compressing the traditional manual exploration that takes weeks into just a few hours. The exploration cycle is shortened by about 30% to 50%, and the comprehensive cost is reduced by about 40%, significantly improving the efficiency of data acquisition in mining areas and the safety of operations. At the same time, it fundamentally avoids the safety hazards of personnel entering high - risk areas such as landslides and steep slopes, truly promoting the implementation of "replacing humans with machines".

On - site Observation: Robotic Dogs Operating Autonomously in Mining Areas, Mining Robots Attracting High Attention

On the first day of the exhibition, the Shenmai Mining booth quickly became a popular area in Hall E7 - Energy. In the live demonstration session, a robotic dog equipped with a multi - functional upper body completed a series of consecutive actions such as path planning, automatic obstacle avoidance, and fixed - point sampling in the simulated mining area terrain, intuitively presenting the actual adaptation ability of embodied intelligence in the mining scenario.

The demonstration attracted a large number of professional visitors from fields such as construction machinery, intelligent equipment, and mining investment to stop and watch. They had in - depth exchanges with the Shenmai technical team on key indicators such as equipment load, battery life, and adaptability to complex scenarios. According to statistics, on the first day of the exhibition, the Shenmai booth received over 10,000 professional visitors, indirectly confirming the industry's high attention to the entry of embodied intelligence into the mining field.

Implementation Verification: Assisting Gold Mine Exploration in Pakistan, Producing 1 Ton of Gold in the First Year

In terms of the technology commercialization process, Shenmai Mining has initially formed a dual - drive model of "verification in its own mining area + replication in external projects". After completing system - level verification in its own mining area in Namibia, the project of Shenmai Mining providing full - process technical services - the Shenmai Holdings Group's alluvial gold mine exploration project in Pakistan has entered the first - phase acceptance stage, further testing the implementation ability of Shenmai's intelligent exploration technology in actual projects.

On - site operation of the gold mine in Pakistan

In the project, the Shenmai team used a fleet of drones equipped with multiple sensors to quickly identify gold - rich areas, and robotic dogs entered the field for on - site re - verification and sampling, greatly improving the drilling hit rate and providing accurate technical support for the efficient progress of the project. It is reported that the first phase of the project is expected to be officially put into production in April, with an estimated annual output of 1 ton of gold in the first year. After the project is put into production, the corresponding annual output value will exceed one billion. This means that Shenmai Mining's embodied intelligent ore - finding technology has moved from the demonstration stage to mass - production - level verification, initially completing the business closed - loop.

Strategic Positioning: Signing Two Cooperation Agreements during AWE to Accelerate Implementation and Capital Collaboration

On the first day of AWE, Shenmai Mining simultaneously promoted two strategic cooperation agreements to strengthen the industrial collaboration between technology and capital:

• It jointly launched a US - dollar fund with Songshi Asset Management Co., Ltd., focusing on strategic mineral fields such as gold and copper. Relying on Shenmai's robotic exploration capabilities, it provides support for pre - project resource screening and risk assessment for Chinese mining enterprises interested in "going global", improving the efficiency and safety of overseas mining investment.
• It signed a strategic agreement with Kunming Engineering & Research Institute of Nonferrous Metallurgy Co., Ltd. of Chalco. The two parties will promote the integration of robotic capabilities into the entire life cycle of mines in aspects such as mine planning and design, intelligent mining, and ecological restoration, helping the "green mine" concept move from top - level design to engineering implementation.

The simultaneous implementation of the two strategic cooperation agreements marks a key step for Shenmai Mining on the path of integrating "technology + industry + capital". As the cooperation continues to advance, Shenmai Mining is gradually building a collaborative ecosystem based on embodied intelligence, connecting technology and industry, and integrating exploration and investment, further consolidating its key position in the intelligent transformation of the mining industry.

Global Perspective: From PDAC to AWE, Simultaneously Promoting Mining Ecological Cooperation

While accelerating its layout in the domestic market, Shenmai Mining is also speeding up its internationalization process. On March 4, the company presented its core technical architecture at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada Annual Conference (PDAC 2026), the world's largest mining event, and attracted the attention of several global mining giants with its embodied intelligent exploration solution. Currently, Shenmai Mining has established contacts with international groups and exploration institutions such as BHP, and reached preliminary intentions regarding the introduction of automated exploration technologies for key minerals such as lithium and copper and project cooperation. On March 6, Shenmai Mining's global press conference was held at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley, officially debuting in the international market.

From the Canadian PDAC to the Shanghai AWE, from the mass - production implementation of the alluvial gold mine in Pakistan to the collaborative layout of capital funds, Shenmai Mining is trying to connect the key nodes of mining exploration, development, and investment with embodied intelligence. Driven by the policy orientation of "robots + mining" and the intelligent transformation of the industry, the company said it will promote the implementation of product matrices for exploration clusters, mining clusters, and reclamation clusters, build the underlying architecture for mining intelligence, and accelerate the mining exploration into a new paradigm of high - efficiency, safety, and environmental friendliness.

In the future, Shenmai Mining will continue to increase investment in technology R & D, accelerate system iteration based on the verification scenarios of its own mines, and empower more mining customers with mature technical solutions, promoting the implementation of embodied intelligent exploration in a wider range of scenarios and helping global mining exploration enter a more efficient and safer new stage.
