<P STYLE="font: 11pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">CleanSpark combines a revolutionary and patented
'stratified' downdraft gasifier with advanced energy software and control technology that enables a plug-and-play enterprise solution
to modern energy challenges. CleanSpark&rsquo;s gasifier was developed with partners such as Petersen, Inc., ICON Renewables, Combustion
Resources and others to create a logical solution for profitably handling MSW, Coal, Plastics, Municipal Sewage and many other
feedstocks.&nbsp;All with ZERO airborne emissions.&nbsp;We've aligned ourselves with research universities such as Utah State University,
The University of Utah, and BYU to certify and maximize the efficiencies and production of our technology. By integrating new and
existing energy generation and storage assets with advanced load management capacities, CleanSpark's software allows energy generated
locally to be shared with other interconnected microgrids. This unique capability enables microgrids to be scaled and widely adopted
for commercial, industrial, military, municipal, and remote community deployment.</P>
