Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with DMGGF.
Q: How long is it going to take to secure AI agreements, especially with government bureaucracy involved? A: Sheldon Bennett, CEO: It can take a long time with government, but we remain optimistic about securing agreements in the coming months. The Canadian government has a sense of urgency to achieve AI self-sufficiency, and we are actively working through the process with various agencies. We aim for long-term agreements that command a premium, rather than short-term ones that may not cover high capital costs.
Q: Why didn't you use debt financing to fund AI equipment purchases? A: Sheldon Bennett, CEO: Debt instruments require a revenue source to back them. The 2 megawatts of AI infrastructure we purchased do not generate immediate cash flow, so it wasn't feasible to secure financing. We used our own funds to jumpstart our AI initiatives.
Q: How does DMG compare to other mining stocks like Hive and Marra, and what strategies could lead to all-time highs? A: Steven Elescu, COO: On an EV to hash rate basis, we've been valued less than larger peers, but we are focused on translating our investments in software, services, and AI into meaningful results. This could be a catalyst for stock growth. We continue to generate cash from Bitcoin mining, which supports our short-term needs.
Q: What is the strategic rationale for buying the prefabricated data center? A: Steven Elescu, COO: Owning physical infrastructure enhances our credibility in discussions about deploying sovereign AI in Canada. The prefabricated data center serves as a bridge to larger, next-generation data centers and helps us secure initial agreements that can lead to larger offtake agreements.
Q: Why are you more optimistic about long-term Bitcoin mining at the Christina Lake facility? A: Sheldon Bennett, CEO: We are optimistic due to lower overall costs with non-firm power and the potential to retrofit air-cooled infrastructure to hydro-cooled, which is cost-effective. We continue to look for other sites with low-cost energy, but Christina Lake offers competitive advantages.

Reaction to Trump's 35 per cent tariffs on Canada
'Mr. Carney gave in on key issues, including scrapping the digital services tax on multi-billionaire tech giants, committing to NATO's excessive 5 per cent target, and violating Canadians' privacy rights by signing up to Trump's ominous ICE security state with Bill C-2. But none of this worked. Instead, Trump has slapped Canada with a 35 per cent tariff and continued his attack on our country and workers.' 'We are pleased to see that CUSMA-compliant goods remain tariff-free, including the vast majority of goods Alberta sells to the U.S. such as all oil and gas and agricultural products. That said, it's also disappointing to see tariffs on other Canadian goods increase to 35 per cent. These tariffs hurt both Canadian and American businesses and workers, and they weaken one of the most important trade and security alliances in the world.' 'The White House fact sheet should be called a fact-less sheet when it comes to basing trade decisions about Canada on the fentanyl emergency … The Carney government is right to prioritize a strong, future-focused deal over a rushed one. A little more time now can deliver lasting benefits for an integrated North American economy — and that's well worth the wait.' 'The hike in U.S. tariffs to 35 per cent will harm small businesses on both sides of the border. The fentanyl rationale is even more ridiculous than the decision itself. While it is good news that most Canadian exports will remain tariff-free due to the CUSMA/USMCA exemption, the uncertainty alone will continue to take a toll on Canada's small businesses.'
