FLORENCE, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 22, 2024 / AXP Energy Limited (ASX:AXP)(OTC PINK:AUNXF), (‘AXP', ‘Company') confirms that the first two modular data centres (MDCs) housing an initial 589 Bitmain S19J Pro Antminers used for Bitcoin mining activities are scheduled for connection this weekend to gas-to-power infrastructure at the Pathfinder #2 well site.
AXP confirms that the Antminers are now being progressively ‘racked' in the MDCs and expected to be fully installed this weekend. The Pathfinder #2 site is one of three operations being established under the Joint Development Agreement (‘JDA') recently announced with US-based Blackhart Technologies Ltd, (‘Blackhart').
As previously stated, AXP's focus is to ensure delivery of reliable and consistent gas supply and power generation to this first bitcoin mining operation under the JDA with Blackhart before commencing the setup of two more sites at the JW Powell and Kelce Court well sites. The Company will keep shareholders updated on the performance these first two operations and progress with respect to development of the next two sites. Expansion beyond the first three sites will be considered based on the performance of the Pathfinder operation and in order to take greater advantage of the 24 producing wells located across the greater Pathfinder lease.
CEO Tim Hart commented: "We are pleased to have reached this milestone with the first site to be connected this weekend. Our efforts are now focused on ensuring reliability of processing for an initial 30 days which provides the catalyst for as major scale up and rapid rollout of more MDCs.
