VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Squire Mining Ltd. (CSE:SQR | FWB:9SQ | OTCQB:SQRMF) (“Squire”) announced today that it and Bigfoot Holdings Group Ltd. (operating as CoinGeek Mining & Hardware) (together with its affiliates, “CoinGeek”) have agreed to further extend exclusive negotiations to March 31, 2019 for Squire to acquire the mining assets owned by CoinGeek and certain of its affiliates and other blockchain related assets (the “Transaction”).

While both parties are engaged with sophisticated financial, legal advisors and tax auditors and professionals to support this Transaction in the most efficient way possible, those advising professionals are learning the intricacies of a relatively new industry, cryptocurrency mining. As a result, there is an educational element to this process that has added additional time and complexity to the process.

The Squire team remains confident in its decision to progress with this Transaction and the acquisition of mining assets. Acquisition of CoinGeek’s mining assets, along with ASIC chip and hardware development demonstrates Squire’s strong commitment to supporting the cryptocurrency industry for the long term by building the necessary infrastructure to support Bitcoin SV (BSV) – the cryptocurrency and blockchain with the roadmap for massive on-chain scaling and enterprise-level adoption. Squire believes BSV’s roadmap will provide miners with higher volumes of transaction fees needed for the mining industry (including both miners and hardware manufacturers) to remain profitable for years to come.

We will be expecting the final report on our ASIC chip design shortly and will provide further update on the revised product development roadmap. While our reported timelines may have shifted our commitments to deliver the next generation of leading ASIC mining hardware has not.
