(CSE:AKE) (XFRA:A49) (OTC:ATLEF) (the “Company” or “Atlas Cloud”) is pleased to announce the closing of the previously disclosed acquisition of MKH Electric City Holdings LLC, a Washington State company.

The Grant County Data Centre, utilizing 80% of the current 3.0 MW of dedicated power, can host up to 1,700 Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) mining servers. A second phase (an additional 2.0 MW) is expected to be completed in 2019, increasing total energy dedicated to digital currency mining to 5.0 MW.
