("Argo" or "the Company")
September Operational Update
Argo Blockchain plc, a global leader in cryptocurrency mining
(LSE: ARB; NASDAQ: ARBK), is pleased to provide the following
operational update for September 2023.
During the month of September, the Company mined 136 Bitcoin or
Bitcoin Equivalents (together, "BTC"), or 4.5 BTC per day, and
accrued significant power credits from economic curtailment. The
power credits reduce the Company's electricity costs, improve its
mining margin, and increase its cash flow. The 34% increase in BTC
mined compared to August 2023 (3.4 BTC per day) is primarily due to
fewer hours of curtailment at Helios in September. This increase in
Bitcoin production was partially offset by a 4% increase in average
network difficulty in September 2023 relative to August 2023.
Mining revenue in September 2023 amounted to $3.59 million, an
increase of 23% compared to the prior month (August 2023: $2.93
million).
As of 30 September 2023, the Company held 32 BTC. The drop in
BTC from 49 at the end of August 2023 is primarily due the periodic
revaluation of the Company's non-Bitcoin digital asset
holdings.
During the month of September, the Company completed the
deployment of its BlockMiner machines. The BlockMiner fleet
represents approximately 0.3 EH/s of hashrate capacity deployed at
the Company's Quebec facilities, and the Company's total hashrate
capacity is now approximately 2.8 EH/s.
