Mining Power Group, Inc., (the “Company” or “RCGR”), announced today that it acquired the majority ownership interest of upstate New York technology company, Northway Mining, LLC, (“Northway”) which offers highly specialized data center hosting services for thousands of cryptomining machines.
Northway, which will become a subsidiary of the Company, presently has revenues from its existing clients and also from an ever-increasing number of new clients.
Included as part of the acquisition are real estate assets of substantial value from the purchase of the buildings in which Northway operates and a future building into which it will expand. In addition, included are 30 acres of surrounding flat land that will be used for future expansion of Northway as well as for the placement of industrial containers to house 1000’s of additional mining machines for clients.
The purchased property has onsite access to approximately 300 Megawatts of electricity at very affordable rates contracted by Northway, which provides Northway with a significant competitive advantage on which to aggressively seek new and large client contracts. The cost of electricity being a significant cost component in the operation of any cryptomining machine.
Under the terms of the transaction, Northway will maintain its current management and the Company will invest funds for the expansion of its facilities. Additional details of the pending transaction were not disclosed but will be included in an upcoming 8K filing.
Separately, the Company is in negotiations for a similar purchase of a majority interest in an unrelated privately-held company involved in the development of products for the cryptomining industry. Results of the negotiations will be announced at a later date.
