Location-specific Operational Updates  

• Norcross. CleanSpark’s Norcross campus saw significant progress during March, with about 600 immersion-cooled S19j pros hashing as of March 31. The Company has experienced delays with its utility partner related to weather and construction. All machines needed to fill the facility to capacity have been received and are being prepared for immersion cooling and deployment. The Company expects the number of machines hashing to rapidly increase over the coming quarter. 

• Coinmint. CleanSpark has 31MW operational at Coinmint, one of the Company’s co-hosting partners. An additional 2MW is expected to go live in May, bringing the total hashrate at Coinmint to 1.06 EH/s, backed by over 11,500 machines. 
• Lancium. CleanSpark’s newly executed contract with Lancium for 200MW is expected to increase the Company’s total hashrate to over 10 EH/s by Spring 2023. The contract also includes the option of an additional 300MW for CleanSpark. With the 300MW option fully deployed, CleanSpark expects to have a total of about 600MW in its portfolio, which would power about 200,000 latest generation miners and contribute approximately 20 EH/s to the network.
