VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (DMGGF:OTC US) (FRANKFURT:6AX) (“DMG” or the “Company”), a diversified blockchain and
cryptocurrency company, provides an update of its new flagship mining facility in eastern British Columbia.
DMG has completed construction of all essential components of its 85-megawatt substation. DMG began the process
to commission its substation in mid-September. The commissioning is being orchestrated by DMG to meet the requirements of the
regional utilities and power authorities. This process is expected to be completed mid-to-late October. As DMG’s COO, Sheldon
Bennett, commented, “As soon as the commissioning process is completed, DMG is ready to energize.”
DMG is now actively in discussions with existing and prospective industrial mining customers for its
Mining-as-a-Service (MaaS) offering. At this new facility, DMG can host in excess of 30,000 units of industry-standard bitcoin
miners.
As DMG has constructed its own private substation, the Company believes its usage will have no material impact
on the power needs of the local community. CEO Dan Reitzik commented, “DMG is tremendously excited about the completion of this new
facility and is grateful that we can continue to meaningfully contribute to the local economy and to be a new source of employment
in this region.”
DMG Purchases its Flagship Facility Land and Building
DMG also announces that it has exercised its option to purchase its flagship facility comprised of 34 acres of
land with an existing 27,000 square foot building, located in British Columbia.
Stock Options
DMG also announces that its Board of Directors has approved the re-pricing of 2,726,666 stock options to
purchase common shares (the “Options”), which were issued at a price of $0.80 on February 8, 2018, to an exercise price of $0.40.
This new price more accurately reflects the current blockchain marketplace. All other terms remain unchanged. This re-pricing
is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, and to disinterested shareholder approval of 600,000 of these Options which were
issued to directors and officers, at the Company’s upcoming Annual General & Special Meeting being held on October 25, 2018.
