Detroit, Michigan--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2026) - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCID: AITX) (the "Company"), a developer and operator of AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, along with its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced that RAD has received an order for five ROAMEO™ autonomous security patrol vehicles from a globally recognized mining and natural resources company for deployment at mining locations in South Africa. The order is for five ROAMEO priced at $9,000 per month for a 36-month term. If all five vehicles are deployed and each contract is performed for the initial term, the order would represent recurring monthly revenue (RMR) of approximately $45,000 and an aggregate contract value of $1.62 million. Definitive contracts for the ordered units have not yet been executed, and the order remains subject to contracting, deployment and customer acceptance.

The order is an important commercial step for ROAMEO and extends the Company's reach into large-scale international mining operations. The initial five-vehicle deployment is expected to demonstrate ROAMEO's ability to support autonomous patrol, perimeter visibility and incident response across demanding, geographically expansive operating environments.

"This is a great application for ROAMEO," said Steve Reinharz, CEO, CTO and founder of AITX and RAD. "There are many applications and we're excited that our network brought this one to order. It hasn't always been easy, but we stayed with it, kept improving the platform and never lost sight of the opportunity. Seeing ROAMEO selected for large-scale mining operations in South Africa validates the vision, the persistence and the work that brought us here. I believe this order marks the beginning of a much larger chapter for ROAMEO."

The Company is planning production capacity for the anticipated deployment. Deployment of the five ROAMEO units is expected to begin during calendar 2027, with the rollout schedule dependent upon execution of definitive contracts, manufacturing coordination, customer site preparation, international transportation, customs and import processing, final systems configuration and on-site commissioning.

Mining operations can span vast, complex areas encompassing perimeters, access roads, processing zones, storage areas and other critical environments. ROAMEO was designed for multi-unit deployments across large sites, supporting broader autonomous patrol coverage. RAD believes such deployments may create a path toward expanded fleets at individual locations and additional customer sites.
