2023 Operational Focus

Mawson looks to advance in 2023 through:

1. Expansion of Bitcoin Self-Mining and Hosting Co-location operations to 4.5 Exahash by early Q2, 2023 and to our projected 8.0 Exahash by Q4, 2023³.
2. Continue the expansion of its 220-megawatt Pennsylvania facilities where the company has favorable energy contracts and expansion opportunities.
3. Continue with its Energy Markets Program, which generates revenue and reduces overall costs of production.
4. Continue to secure a portfolio of sites in its preferred geographies and jurisdictions for long term digital infrastructure capacity.
5. Develop strategic partnerships and relationships with customers and communities.
6. Continue to offer reliable hosting services to miners in addition to increasing self-mining capacity.

Statements about hashrate capacity

Statements in the press release about hashrate capacity (including ‘installed capacity’) or ‘nameplate’ capacity, will often differ from the actual or observed hashrates. Hashrate capacity or ‘nameplate’ capacity generally makes certain assumptions about the efficiency of the ASIC miners that are in use. Some ASIC miner models will consume less power to create the same amount of hashing power than other ASIC miner models (typically more recent models are more efficient). Many ASIC miner fleets are blended fleets, including various ASIC miner models each with different efficiency ratings. Hashrate capacity figures typically assume 100% deployment of ASIC miners. Given the large numbers of computing units (often numbering in the tens of thousands), ASIC mining fleets are rarely 100% deployed and online at any one time. This can be due to a variety of factors, including ASIC miners being under maintenance, in repair workshops, in storage, in transit, or due to technical faults and breakdowns. Once deployed and online, the actual or observed hashrate can be influenced by other factors such as heat, overclocking (causing the ASIC miner to perform at levels higher than the manufacturer’s specifications), the age, and wear and tear exhibited by the ASIC miners and also by the limitations of the surrounding infrastructure, such as power outages, and MDC and transformer breakdowns. Construction and development delays are a common risk for mining data centers, for example due to weather, permitting delays, or labor and equipment shortages. Investors should consider all risk factors related to uptime when considering these figures, which are a best-case scenario.
