EVB Cryptoblox Technologies Inc

CryptoBlox Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “CryptoBlox”) (CSE: BLOX) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an arm’s length asset purchase agreement (“Agreement”) with 1001038815 Ontario Inc. (the “Vendor”) on October 30, 2024 to purchase five (5) IceRiver KS3 Kaspa mining units (the “Miners”). Completion of the Agreement is conditional upon, among other things, approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange and the Company and the Vendor entering into a management services agreement (the “MSA”), the form of which has been settled, to provide for the set up and ongoing maintenance, hosting and operation of the Miners by the Vendor.

The MSA provides for competitive electricity rate of USD $0.041 per kilowatt-hour, which is expected to allow for efficient mining of Kaspa with low overhead costs. The total consideration under the Agreement for the Miners and the MSA is 11,000,000 common shares of the Company, having a deemed value of $1,100,0002. A finder’s fee of 550,000 common shares will be payable upon closing.

By acquiring and deploying the Miners, CryptoBlox hopes expand its digital asset mining operations beyond Bitcoin, leveraging Kaspa’s distinctive blockDAG technology. Kaspa’s technology enables rapid transaction confirmation and high throughput, which makes it an attractive option for miners.

The Company also announces that it has granted 5 million restricted share units (the “RSUs”) to key management and consultants, to reward such individuals’ ongoing commitment to the Company. Such RSUs will vest as follows: 25% after four (4) months, 25% after eight (8) months, 25% after twelve (12) months, and 25% after sixteen (16) months from the date of grant. The grant of 2,000,000 of the RSUs (the “Related Party Grant”) to a director and officer of the Company was considered a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), but was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, given neither the fair market value of the securities issued nor the consideration provided therefor exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

Akshay Sood, CEO of CryptoBlox, commented:

“We are thrilled to enter the Kaspa mining market, as this represents an important step in our commitment to diversification.”

“This is a significant achievement for the Company, given we will acquire a turn key operation, which is expected to immediately generate cash flows, while preserving cash.”

“We hope to rapidly continue to build out our diversified Blockchain Ecosystem and continue to build value for our shareholders.”_____________________________________1 CAD $0.055 per kilowatt-hour 2 CAD $0.10 per common share
