However, DMG primarily invested in the infrastructure in our Christina Lake facility, one of the largest in North America, and with bitcoin prices rising again, the future looks bright. Our revenues have traditionally come from hosting third party clients from around the world, but earlier in 2020, based on the increasing bitcoin price and availability of new mining technologies, the Company made the decision to begin upgrading DMG’s self-mining fleet, and to date have added approximately 112 PH comprised of 1242 MicroBT M30S miners and a variety of other miners. The Company’s goal for self-mining remains at 500 PH by the end of 2020, and we hope to achieve this milestone, which would make DMG one of the largest bitcoin mining companies by PH in the world. Manufacturing supply issues, however, and access to favourable financing options, may impede this goal.DMG continues to work towards its goal of being a diversified crypto and blockchain company and will provide updates to its shareholders shortly on the Wazabi Project, a supply chain platform for the regulated products industry. DMG’s forensic division is growing rapidly and recently completed its sixth consulting project of the year, with many more planned for the next six months. Blockseer and Walletscore continue to be important tools for the Company’s forensics work, and are also a key component for DMG’s comprehensive mining software platform, also to be detailed shortly.DMG is currently exploring multiple acquisition opportunities specifically related to additional low-cost mining operations, mining software products and new mining technologies. We are pleased with the Company’s current operations and are excited about the future of our increased self-mining capacity and significant technology advances”.DMG’s COO, Sheldon Bennett, reports, “Bringing our operational costs, especially G&A, down significantly from the previous period has positioned the Company to take advantage of increasing crypto prices.”The Company will soon announce an investor conference call to provide detailed update on the Company’s operations, challenges and plans moving forward.About DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc.DMG is a diversified cryptocurrency and blockchain platform company that is focused on the two primary opportunities in the sector – mining public blockchains and applying permissioned blockchain technology.
