DMG Blockchain adds New Industrial Mining Client, Ceases Management of Texas Operation: DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. has been engaged to host 1,000 new miners for a new client based in the U.S. Bitmain shipped the miners on behalf of the client to DMG’s Christina Lake facility in late December and DMG has now completed the installation and has the miners fully operational. This shipment from DMG’s new client will consume approximately 1.5 MW of power. As part of an exploratory agreement announced in October 2019, DMG has been managing Bitmain’s Texas facility and installed approximately 15,000 next generation miners. DMG and Bitmain have mutually terminated the existing management agreement as cost and operational efficiencies have not materialized as planned. DMG and Bitmain continue to explore opportunities for collaboration including DMG’s Christina Lake facility, and new sites that are of joint interest.
