Operational Update:
In April Mawson continued to build out 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. April was characterized by a rise in network difficulty. Despite this, monthly Bitcoin production was up +1% vs March 2022, and up +384% vs April 2021. Mawson now has over 36,000 ASIC Bitcoin Miners deployed at its facilities across the USA and Australia across its Self-Mining and Hosting Co-location businesses, up from 22,000 in March 2022.
Midland, Pennsylvania facility – Modular Data Centers (MDCs) now being rolled out progressively, site expected to have approximately 52 megawatts of mining hardware online by the end of May 2022.
Sandersville, Georgia facility: 38 Modular Data Centers (MDCs) online, site now fully operational at approximately 80 megawatts. Stage 3 expansion approved to 230 megawatts (capable of accommodating up to 7.5 Exahash) with development planning for 150 megawatt expansion commencing in June 2022.
New South Wales, Australia facility: Site commissioning ongoing, with operational ramp up expected to occur steadily throughout May and June, with approximately 0.1 Exahash online by the end of May. The facility is 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, “April was operationally solid for the business, with a particularly pleasing result in our hosting co-location business ramp up, where we expanded from 16 megawatts online in March, to 28 megawatts online in April. We expect this to rise to 52 megawatts online by the end of May, as we progressively roll out and expand our second major Bitcoin mining facility in the town of Midland, Pennsylvania. The Mawson team continued to expand over the month with more high-quality individuals joining the Mawson family. We anticipate a meaningful step up in our Bitcoin Self-Mining operations in May, to 1.8 Exahash, and expect further solid growth on this front in May and June.”

1,2 Bitcoin produced per day is based on network difficulty as at May 10 2022. Assumes all equipment deployed and 100% online, plus the construction of all contracted sites on time, actual results are likely to vary in a negative manner. Construction delays are common and it is rare for all equipment to be deployed and 100% online, however accurate historical downtime averages are difficult to calculate and also may not provide an accurate picture due to differences moving forward. Investors should consider all risk factors related to uptime when considering these figures, which are a best case scenario.
