Over the next few months, Compass Mining will supply and host a continuous flow of ASIC miners for AQUA in diversified locations."

The Company purchased the initial batch of 100 Rigs for USD$970,030, which it paid for in cash. The initial 100 Rigs are expected to be delivered in February 2022, and are anticipated to be live and generating Bitcoin during Q1 2022, at an expected aggregate of 10 PH/s.
