Background

Initially, there was a lot of speculation and secrecy surrounding the CO Mine 1 Landco LLC Montrose County facility and whether it was being used to mine cryptocurrency. It was reported that the company CO Mine 1 Landco LLC bought the site for $2.5 million in May 2021. The company's rezoning application to change the land use from agricultural to light industrial was subsequently approved in September of that year by the Montrose County Planning Commission. Since the operation did not entail the creation of an industrial product that needed inspection, even county officials remained oblivious about the nature of operations at the site. . Construction began soon after on the site to set up large solar arrays spread over 74 acres.

After months of inquiry, in June 2022, Aspen Creek Digital Corporation formally announced that it had begun cryptomining operations at the facility. The facility has an operational capacity of 6 MW which is supported by an onsite behind-the-meter 10 MW solar farm. While the facility is owned by Aspen Digital and is primarily being used by it to mine cryptocurrency, it also serves as a co-location facility for Galaxy Digital, another cryptocurrency mining company.
