Description
Argo August
Operational Update dated 05 September 2024

Press Release
5 September 2024
Argo Blockchain plc
("Argo" or "the Company")
August Operational Update
Argo Blockchain plc, a global leader in cryptocurrency mining (LSE:
ARB; NASDAQ: ARBK), is pleased to provide the following operational
update for August 2024.
During the month of August, the Company mined 38 Bitcoin ("BTC"),
or 1.2 BTC per day down from 1.5 per day in July 2024. BTC
production was down due to more frequent economic curtailments
during the month and lower hash price.
Mining revenue in August 2024 amounted to $2.3 million down from
$3.0 million in July 2024. Mining margin for August 2024 was below
10%, lower than July as a result of the lower hash price realized
in August compared to July, and higher power prices. As at 31
August 2024, the Company held 10 BTC equivalent.
Allotment of New Shares
Additionally, the Company announces that it has issued
1,468,730 new
ordinary shares of £0.001 each in the capital of the Company
("Ordinary Shares") pursuant to the terms of previously granted
Restricted Share Units under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan
approved by shareholders at the Company's 2022 Annual General
Meeting.
The new Ordinary Shares rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary
Shares in issue, and application has been made for the shares to be
admitted to the Official List and to trading on the Main Market of
the London Stock Exchange PLC.
Share Capital and Total Voting Rights
The Company also announces, in compliance with its obligations
under Rules 5.6.1R and 5.6.2G of the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules, that as at 31 August 2024, the Company's share
capital will consist of 637,820,878 ordinary shares of
£0.001 each (Ordinary Shares). All of the Ordinary Shares have
equal voting rights and there are no shares held in
Treasury.
The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for
the calculations by which they can determine whether they are
required to notify their interest in, or a change of their interest
in, the Company under the FCA Disclosure Guidance and Transparency
Rules.
