Vancouver – Extreme Vehicle Battery Technologies is pleased to have completed the necessary financing arrangements to enable its recently acquired subsidiary, Optimal CP Inc., to execute on its business plan to develop state-of-the-art mining operations facilities.
Optimal is focused on developing facilities in Canada’s energy hub of Alberta that will leverage direct access to clean, reliable, low-cost power generation facilities. Using a unique operating approach, Optimal’s facilities will continue to support the peak needs of the Alberta grid, thus offering increased value to generators while providing some of the lowest-cost, cleanest and most reliable mining operations in world.
With these funds in place, Optimal intends to move quickly in establishing and commissioning its initial mining facility, which will utilize at least 3.5 MW of clean, cost-effective generation to ultimately power a minimum of 1,000 mining ASIC mining machines.
Using a phased approach to build out electrical and enclosure infrastructure to accommodate miners, Optimal is projecting to commission at least 500 kW per month of rack space, allowing the Company to achieve a total mining hashrate of approximately 100 petahash and with a projected mining capacity of more that 12 bitcoins per month in the first half of 2022.
“The acquisition of Optimal has given the Company control of Optimal’s development pipeline and its seasoned management team that will enable a smooth transition for the Company as it continues to focus on its core blockchain business and the introduction of this new cryptocurrency mining unit,” commented EV Battery Tech CEO, Bryson Goodwin.
“These are exiting times as our experienced team commissions its initial mining facility, providing the foundation for a bright, growth-oriented future in the mining space in Alberta,” stated President of Optimal, Kevin Gilchrist.
