These discussions are intended to advance the first site toward\ndevelopment under the parties' Western Canada behind-the-meter (\"BTM\") AI\ncompute collaboration and represent progress towards the first project\nmilestone contemplated by the MOU. As of the date of this release, the parties\nhave not entered into a Commercial Term Sheet or any other definitive\nagreement with respect to the first site.\n\nThe initial site is an approximately 600 kilowatt (\"kW\") behind-the-meter\nfacility in Alberta that today uses on-site natural gas - gas that would\notherwise be flared - to power bitcoin mining operations. Under the proposed\ncommercial terms, which are being negotiated, BlueFlare would redevelop the\nsite into an AI inference facility, installing new on-site power generation,\nbattery energy storage and high-performance computing (\"HPC\") capacity, while\nretaining and repurposing the existing bitcoin mining load as a load-balancing\nand gas-continuity mechanism. Consistent with the collaboration framework, AI\ninference is intended to serve as the site's primary value driver, with\nco-located bitcoin mining used to keep generated power productive whenever\ninference demand does not call on the site's full capacity.\n\nPower allocation across the two workloads would be managed by BlueFlare's\nproprietary BALA™ (BlueFlare Adaptive Load Architecture™) platform, a\nload-following control system that routes available power between AI inference\nand bitcoin mining in real time. The Company believes this approach will allow\nthe facility to sustain high, continuous utilization of its on-site generation\nwhile supporting compliance with Alberta's natural gas conservation\nrequirements - converting gas that would otherwise be flared into productive\ncompute.\n\nThe site is being designed for accelerated time-to-energization. Because the\nfacility will generate its own power on-site and will connect to AI inference\nworkloads over a wireless link enabled by BlueFlare's proprietary\nbandwidth-optimization technology, it is intended to be brought online without\nwaiting for grid interconnection or fibre construction - two of the most\ncommon sources of delay in conventional data center development. Backup power\nis designed around cleaner-burning propane rather than the diesel generation\ntypically deployed at data centers, an approach the parties believe reduces\nboth the site's emissions profile and the amount of redundant fuel\ninfrastructure required.\n\nThe site is the first of two initial project sites identified under the MOU,\nwhich establishes BlueFlare as the Company's primary developer across Alberta,\nBritish Columbia and Saskatchewan for the origination, design, engineering,\nconstruction and ongoing support of HPC inference sites integrated with\nco-located bitcoin mining on a behind-the-meter basis. Each site is expected\nto be advanced under a separate site-specific Commercial Term Sheet and one or\nmore associated definitive agreements addressing site-level economics,\ncapacity, schedule, construction scope and operations. The parties' current\ndiscussions regarding the first site remain preliminary and non-binding, and\nany Commercial Term Sheet, and the principal commercial terms it would\ncontain, remain subject to continued negotiation and the negotiation and\nexecution of one or more definitive agreements. There can be no assurance that\nthe parties will enter into any Commercial Term Sheet or definitive agreement,\nor that the site will be developed on the terms contemplated, or at all.\n\nAbout FingerMotion, Inc.\n\nFingerMotion is an evolving technology company with a core competency in\nmobile payment and recharge platform solutions in China.

The vision of the Company is\nto rapidly grow the user base through organic means and have this growth\ndevelop into an ecosystem of users with high engagement rates utilizing its\ninnovative applications.
