HIVE Blockchain Increases Next Generation Bitcoin Mining Power at Green Energy-Powered Operation in Quebec; Announces Updated Timing for Filing of Financial Statements
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 31, 2020) – HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (OTCQX: HVBTF) (FSE: HBF) (the “Company” or “HIVE”) is pleased to announce that it has installed 1,000 MicroBT WhatsMiner M30S miners with an aggregate operating hashpower of 93 Petahash per second (PH/s) as it continues to scale up next generation mining power at its green energy-powered bitcoin mining operation in Quebec. The Company also announces that it expects to file its audited financial statements, related management discussion and analysis and certifications of financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 on or about September 10, 2020 rather than the scheduled due date of July 29, 2020, as it relies on the Canadian regulatory pronouncement due to the COVID-19 global pandemic that all public companies are provided a 45-day extension period.
New Miners
Following the installation of the 1,000 MicroBT WhatsMiner M30S miners, HIVE’s aggregate operating hash rate specifically from next generation mining equipment at its Quebec facility is now approximately 217 PH/s, utilizing approximately 9.1 megawatts (MW) power, equating to approximately 23.8 PH/MW of power, which HIVE believes is one of the most energy efficient bitcoin mining operations in Canada.
The new equipment consists of 600 M30S 90 terahashes per second (TH/s) units, 300 M30S 88 TH/s units, and 100 M30S 86 TH/s units. The cost is approximately $1,935 per unit, or just under $2M. The equipment will initially be hosted by HIVE on behalf of an institutional client. However, it is anticipated that HIVE will enter into a subsequent financing agreement with this client in which HIVE will assume ownership of the equipment with payment made through cash on hand and through a loan provided by this client and secured against the miners.
As previously announced last month, HIVE also ordered 200 additional Bitmain Antminer S17e miners, with an aggregate operating hashpower of 12 PH/s. With the production and delivery delays that are being experienced at Bitmain, the timing of the delivery and installation of this new mining equipment is uncertain.
Financial Statements
As previously announced, due to circumstances created by the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Company is relying on the 45-day extension period for the filing of its financial statements and related materials provided to issuers by Canadian regulators, as enacted in Instrument 51-517 – Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements with Deadlines during the Period from June 2 to August 31, 2020 by the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”) (“BC Instrument 51-517”).
As required by BC Instrument 51-517, the Company discloses the following:
The Company now expects to file its audited financial statements, related management discussion and analysis and certifications of financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 on or about September 10, 2020 and the quarterly report for the first quarter ended June 30, 2020 along with the related management discussion and analysis on or about October 13, 2020.
In the interim, the Company’s management and other insiders are subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 – Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders.
The Company confirms that since the filing of its financial statements and related management discussion and analysis for the period ended December 31st, 2019, there have been no material business developments other than those disclosed through news releases.
HIVE Shares Sales by Cryptologic Corp.
The Company’s management has been made aware of the recent divestiture of HIVE common shares held by Cryptologic Corp. pursuant to an orderly sales process outlined in the agreement. Cryptologic had received 15 million HIVE shares in April 2020 as part of the purchase price for HIVE’s acquisition of Cryptologic’s 30-MW capacity bitcoin mining operation in Quebec. The shares were subject to a four-month lock-up agreement, which has now expired.
