Deployment Updates
S19J Pro 100 July (single units): This deployment is expected to be completed by early-to-mid September. These units have first priority in the Texas 3 facility.

Please check the email associated with your Compass account for an email asking for your facility preference.
- Minnesota: 593 of 794 units, or 75% of the August and September M30S++ are online and hashing for customers that chose the first available facility or Minnesota as their hosting facility.
- Texas 3: Estimated deployment date of August 30.
S19XP 140 TH August and September (single units): These units will be deployed in both Indiana 2 and Texas 3. We have deployed 40% of the August S19XP single units and the first units of Next Gen Bundle 1. The September units are expected to come online by September 30.
Facility Updates
Minnesota: M30S++ units for both August and September batches are being installed. ASICs have already started hashing to pool accounts and the deployment is ongoing.
Texas 3: As of Tuesday, August 30, over 10,000 Compass Mining client ASICs are on-site, awaiting energization approval from the Energy Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).
Relocated miners will have first priority and all other units will be deployed chronologically based on the original order date. Site energization involves tight coordination with the site’s power provider. Due to extreme heat conditions in the region currently stressing the grid, the site’s power provider must carefully time the final testing to minimize risk to the grid, and the communities it powers.
Based on current conversations with the power provider, it is anticipated this final step to be completed by early to mid-September, rather than the last week of August which was previously communicated.
Installation of additional ASICs will continue over the next two weeks while the facility team works with the power provider.

Indiana 2: Compass has secured additional capacity with the Indiana partner at a new site Indiana 2. The facility will hold units from multiple facility re-locations. All clients have been informed of the changes via email.
- Pennsylvania miners and Maine S19 units have arrived in Indiana 2. These units are being racked and have an estimated hashing date of September 9.
- Some New Mexico units will re-deploy to Indiana 2 after inspection at our Denver, Colorado facility and are expected to be online by mid-September.
- Unit 1 of Antminer S19 XP bundle orders were sent to Indiana 2, in order to get miners online as fast as possible. Of Unit 1, 40% are online as of Thursday, September 1.
Florida: Maine Antminer Z15 units have been deployed to Florida 1. All units are expected to go online by mid-to-late September.
Texas 1: As of Friday, September 2, over 50% of Compass Mining units are online and hashing.
At over 100 megawatts (MW) in size, Texas 1 is energizing units in tranches. The Compass Mining operations team is working with the facility to ensure customer units are being deployed as quickly as possible. We expect the remaining units to go online over the next 10-14 days.
Georgia 2 and Georgia 3: Due to a 50% spike in the price of electricity from the local utility providers, our Georgia 2 and 3 facility locations have been closed by their owner. Compass Mining was made aware of the hosting changes Wednesday, August 31.
The facility owner is closing its Georgia facilities to protect miners from excessive energy rate changes and has opened up its alternative facility, Texas 1, for continued hosting. Texas 1 is currently energizing over 100 megawatts (MW) of units. Compass Mining already has units deployed in Texas 1, with our allocation of 25 megawatt (MW) is expected to be online by the end of September. Georgia 2 and Georgia 3 units will go online immediately after Texas 1 clients go online.
For Georgia 1 and Georgia 2 units, the uninstallation, transit and re-racking at Texas 1 is expected to take 30 days. Client units are tentatively scheduled to be back online by September 30. Compass Mining will provide regular updates on the re-deployment.
