The Fort Worth Press - AXP and BitFuFu Partner in Power Generation

FLORENCE, CO / ACCESS Newswire / March 18, 2025 / AXP Energy Limited (ASX:AXP)(OTC PINK:AUNXF), ('AXP', 'Company') is pleased to report the successful completion of the initial trial of gas-to-power operations at the Pathfinder production hub in Colorado (announced 6 February 2025) that saw the Company deliver 1.5 MW/hour of electricity over 14 days at 85% uptime to support successful bitcoin mining activities. Since the completion of the trial, with further system adjustments, system uptime of greater than 90% has been achieved.

AXP has, through its JV partner, secured the support of NASDAQ listed BitFuFu, Inc (NASDAQ: FUFU, FUFU.WS) ('BitFuFu') for the next phase of expansion of bitcoin mining activities at the Pathfinder Field which has a ready supply of natural gas from its portfolio of 24 wells which have further production upside.

As communicated, AXP is now targeting the phased delivery of 25MW of electricity by the end of CY2025. The next step is to expand the first site to 5MW of electricity with BitFuFu contributing additional ASIC miners and associated equipment. In addition to scaling up operations at the Pathfinder Field, the parties also collaborating on other potential opportunities in North America with AXP as the energy provider.

AXP Energy Managing Director, Dan Lanskey commented,"AXP is in an exciting position following this trial and we have had excellent fortune to deliver a reliable operation which has now been running smoothly for over a month. BitFuFu's participation is an outstanding development for AXP and aligns with our strategy of attracting counter parties that have the capacity and balance sheet to significantly scale up operations in Colorado and other sites under consideration. The first site acts as a valuable reference point, with all parties demonstrating they we can bring a reliable gas-to-power-bitcoin mining operation online in a fairly seamless manner, and that this can be replicated many times over for a greatly scaled up operation here. Our focus now turns to the build out of this next phase and we will report on progress as it unfolds. Work is now advancing on this phase and we are wasting no time. It is worth noting that this first site only consumed ~200 Mcf of gas per day, very modest flows, and the current portfolio of wells has capacity much beyond this."
