Operational Update:

In March Mawson continued to build and expand its existing and new facilities in the USA and Australia. ASIC Bitcoin miners continue to be delivered on a monthly basis, with a batch of Canaan A1246 miners delivered during the month. March was characterized by a continued rise in network difficulty over the course of the month, albeit at a slower pace than previous months. Despite these headwinds, monthly Bitcoin production was up +12% vs February 2022, and up +336% vs March 2021. Mawson now has over 22,000 ASIC Bitcoin Miners deployed at its facilities across the USA and Australia across its Self-Mining and Hosting Co-location businesses.

Midland, Pennsylvania facility: first Modular Data Centers (MDCs) are now online and hashing, site expected to have approximately 40 megawatts of mining hardware online by the end of April 2022.

Sandersville, Georgia facility: 38 Modular Data Centers (MDCs) now online, site now fully operational at approximately 80 megawatts online. Stage 3 expansion approved to 230 megawatts (capable of accommodating up to 7.5 Exahash) with first stage of development for 150 megawatt expansion due to commence late Q2, 2022.

Australian facility: site commissioning ongoing, with operational ramp up expected to occur steadily throughout Q2, with approximately 0.1 Exahash online by the end of April, with the facility expected to be fully operational with approximately 0.4 EH online by June 2022.

Expected Hash Rate Growth:

Mawson expects Bitcoin Self-Mining to be at 4.0 EH by Q3, 2022, and target of 5.5 EH online by early Q1 2023 reiterated.

James Manning, CEO and Founder of Mawson, said, “March was another month of operational growth for the group – we produced a record 170 Bitcoin - the highest amount of self-mined Bitcoin in the company’s history. Our Sandersville, Georgia facility continues to grow, with 38 Modular Data Centers now deployed and online, and development on our expansion to 230 megawatts will begin later in Q2. Pleasingly, in Pennsylvania we ended the month with 16 megawatts online, a major milestone for the company as we scale up our second major Bitcoin mining facility in the USA. Lastly, turning to our rapidly expanding hosting co-location business – in March and April we expect this new business line to accelerate materially as we deploy for our major customers Celsius Mining LLC and Foundry Digital LLC. The pipeline of demand for our hosting co-location business - which adds a new revenue stream for the group - continues to grow, and we look forward to updating stockholders on this front in due course.”
