Signed definitive agreement for natural gas assets, securing low-cost power of 100 MW, expandable and scalable to 1 GW
Appointed energy industry veteran Eric Gallie as SVP of Energy Strategy
LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / December 13, 2024 / Gryphon Digital Mining, Inc. (NASDAQ:GRYP) (“Gryphon” or the “Company”), an innovative venture in the bitcoin and AI space dedicated to helping bring digital assets to the market, has released its unaudited operational update for November 2024.
Steve Gutterman, CEO of Gryphon Digital Mining commented, “We’re pleased to release November results and share that December has been a pivotal month for our energy strategy. We have executed what could be a transformative agreement to acquire natural gas assets in British Columbia that could produce low-cost power of 100 MW – 1 GW, and appointed Eric Gallie, a recognized energy industry leader, to coordinate our power initiatives. Eric brings 18 years of energy sector expertise, including managing $1.5 billion in upstream and integrated oil & gas portfolios. We anticipate that his appointment, coupled with our natural gas asset acquisition, positions us to reduce our power costs by more than 50% from current levels of $0.0605/kWh to well under $0.03/kWh. We believe that these strategic moves will fundamentally reshape our energy economics as we scale to meet the growing power demands of both digital mining and AI infrastructure.”
