On October 24th, North American mining company Hut 8 Mining announced that the third mine developed in cooperation with Validus Power Corp. (“Validus”) is underway. The project is located in North Bay, Ontario, with an installed capacity of 35MW and is expected to be put into use by the end of 2021.
