An announcement from SMX Public Limited Company ( (SMX) ) is now available.

On February 19, 2026, SMX (Security Matters) PLC entered into a 12‑month, non‑binding Strategic Collaboration Agreement with M2i Global, Inc., a critical minerals supply-chain specialist, and Volato Group, Inc., to support a pilot initiative for secure tracking and commercialization of critical minerals. The partnership will integrate SMX’s traceability capabilities with M2i’s CAINO digital backbone and M2i Metals Marketplace to link physical shipment assurance with evidence‑grade digital custody records for authenticated transactions.

The pilot will begin with controlled mineral shipments from Western Australia to the United States, using physical tagging, tamper‑evident controls and logged custody events to reduce provenance dilution, commingling risk and chain‑of‑custody ambiguity. Designed to underpin M2i’s Critical Mineral Reserve framework, the program aims to demonstrate end‑to‑end traceability and produce a repeatable model for scaling trusted materials commerce across allied supply chains, potentially bolstering U.S. industrial resilience and national security‑related sourcing.
