ASX Announcement
Operation Update – APAC Mining Yields Positive Early Results From Mining Bitcoins And Ethereums
International venture builder Fatfish Internet Group Limited (ASX Code: FFG) (“FFG” and “the Company”) is pleased to provide operation updates on its 51% owned investee, APAC Mining Corp (“APAC Mining”), a crypto mining business.
1. Operating Capacity
The current mining server farms of APAC Mining in Malaysia are operating at 60% of their equipment capacity. There is delay in electrical engineering work at the mining server farms, but APAC Mining is looking to have all its mining server farms running in full capacity within the next 30 days .
2. Production Yield
The crypto mining farms, even though at 60% capacity, are producing very encouraging early results. Approximately 2 Bitcoins (BTC) and 8 Ethereum Ethers (ETH)are being mined every week . This production rate translates to an annualised production rate of approximately 170 Bitcoins and 690 Ethereum Ethers being mined per annum, at 100% equipment capacity.
At prevailing market price (Bitcoin at US$8000 and Ether at US$520), this production rate translates to an annualised gross revenue of approximately US$1.7million (A$2.19million) per annum . As the operation is still in its early stage it is too early to estimate its gross profit margin at this juncture but APAC Mining estimates that its current operation commands a healthy double digit gross profit margin.

3. Volatility of Cryptocurrency and Feasibility
APAC Mining notes that cryptocurrency prices have been volatile last 3 months but it appears that the cryptocurrency market has stabilized and consensus by analysts seem to suggest that cryptocurrency is in a recovery trend. APAC Mining has performed a feasibility study on cryptocurrency prices and found that its crypto mining operation will remain profitable as long as Bitcoin is trading above US$4,000 and Ethereum Ether above US$250.
4. Expansion of equipment capacity and facilities
Once its current batch of mining equipment is 100% up and running APAC Mining is looking to procure additional crypto mining equipment to add to its capacity. Consequently, it will also need to build more mining server farms across new locations to host the additional equipment.
APAC Mining is currently in discussion with various service providers to secure new location and energy supply in Canada and Mongolia, in addition to its existing locations in Malaysia. APAC Mining is confident that the energy tariffs of all the locations it is securing are among the most favourable rates of the crypto mining industry. As such APAC Mining believes that it has a strong business case to scale up its operating capacity significantly in the near future.
APAC Mining’s immediate aim is to quickly scale up its operating capacity to a capacity where it will be producing one Bitcoin per day in the near term future.
