Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 31, 2021) – Further to its press release of August 17, 2021, iMining Technologies Inc. (TSXV: IMIN) (the “Company” or “iMining“) is pleased to announce that it has closed the transaction to acquire three validators securing the Ethereum Proof-of-Stake blockchain (the “Acquisition“). These three Eth2.0 validators, which include 102.184 Ethereum tokens, were acquired in consideration of issuing 2,500,000 shares. The validators are cloud-based and are fully operational.

The Acquisition of the three validators was considered a “related party transaction” in that the seller is controlled by the Company’s President & CEO. The Company relied on the exemptions in MI 61-101 as to the requirements for a formal valuation and shareholders’ approval pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) respectively (the fair market value being less than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization).

The Acquisition allows iMining to instantly secure these validators saving the Company fees and weeks of staking rewards as compared to acquiring the same using cash reserves and over-the-counter service providers. This transaction further cements the CEO’s belief in iMining and the future of cryptocurrencies.

The issued shares are subject to a four-month hold period, at the end of which period the shares will be released as to 25% every quarter.
