DMG Announces Change of Auditor and Provides July Preliminary Mining Results
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (OTCQB US: DMGGF) (FRANKFURT: 6AX) (“DMG” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated blockchain and cryptocurrency technology company, announces its change of auditor and its July mining results.
Change of Auditor
DMG announces the change of its auditor from Manning Elliott LLP (“Manning Elliott”) to Kingston Ross Pasnak LLP (“KRP”). The Company will be working closely with KRP in order to file its annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and related officer certifications for the financial year ended September 30, 2022 (the “Annual Filings”).
In discussions with the Company, Manning Elliott resigned as the auditor of the Company. The Board of Directors accepted the resignation of the former auditor of the Company and appointed KRP as the new auditor until the close of the Company’s next Annual General Meeting. There are no “reportable events” including disagreements, consultations or unresolved issues (as the terms are defined in National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations) between the Company and the former auditor (Manning Elliott). There were no reservations or modified opinions in the former auditor’s reports on the Company’s financial statements during the period that the former auditor acted as the Company’s auditor. In accordance with National Instrument 51-102, the Notice of Change of Auditor, together with the required letters from the former auditor and the successor auditor, have been reviewed by the Company’s Audit Committee and will be filed on SEDAR accordingly.
July Preliminary Mining Results
In July 2022, DMG mined 54 bitcoin and added no additional mining capacity. DMG expects to receive additional miners during August 2022 and thus anticipates an increase in its mining capacity once the bitcoin miners are installed and operating. DMG’s bitcoin balance as of July 31, 2022 was 324 BTC. DMG is on-target with respect to its original schedule for received miner deliveries for growing its hashrate to 1 EH/s by the end of 2022, subject to the receipt, installation and operation of the additional miners.
