<p>Parties in Advanced Discussions Toward Commercial Terms for an Approximately 600 kW Alberta Facility That Would Deliver AI Inference Capacity Co-Located With Bitcoin Mining - Powered by On-Site Natural Gas and Managed by BlueFlare's BALA(TM) Platform</p><p>Singapore, Singapore--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2026) - <b>FingerMotion, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FNGR">FNGR</a>)</b> ("<b>FingerMotion</b>" or the "<b>Company</b>"), a mobile services, data and technology company today announced that it and BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc. ("BlueFlare" or "BFE Solutions") are in advanced discussions and are working toward commercial terms covering the first of the two initial project sites identified under the parties' previously announced Memorandum of Understanding (the "<b>MOU</b>"). These discussions are intended to advance the first site toward development under the parties' Western Canada behind-the-meter ("BTM") AI compute collaboration and represent progress towards the first project milestone contemplated by the MOU. As of the date of this release, the parties have not entered into a Commercial Term Sheet or any other definitive agreement with respect to the first site.</p><p>The initial site is an approximately 600 kilowatt ("kW") behind-the-meter facility in Alberta that today uses on-site natural gas - gas that would otherwise be flared - to power bitcoin mining operations. Under the proposed commercial terms, which are being negotiated, BlueFlare would redevelop the site into an AI inference facility, installing new on-site power generation, battery energy storage and high-performance computing ("<b>HPC</b>") capacity, while retaining and repurposing the existing bitcoin mining load as a load-balancing and gas-continuity mechanism. Consistent with the collaboration framework, AI inference is intended to serve as the site's primary value driver, with co-located bitcoin mining used to keep generated power productive whenever inference demand does not call on the site's full capacity.</p><p>Power allocation across the two workloads would be managed by BlueFlare's proprietary BALA&#8482; (BlueFlare Adaptive Load Architecture&#8482;) platform, a load-following control system that routes available power between AI inference and bitcoin mining in real time. The Company believes this approach will allow the facility to sustain high, continuous utilization of its on-site generation while supporting compliance with Alberta's natural gas conservation requirements - converting gas that would otherwise be flared into productive compute.</p><p>The site is being designed for accelerated time-to-energization. Because the facility will generate its own power on-site and will connect to AI inference workloads over a wireless link enabled by BlueFlare's proprietary bandwidth-optimization technology, it is intended to be brought online without waiting for grid interconnection or fibre construction - two of the most common sources of delay in conventional data center development. Backup power is designed around cleaner-burning propane rather than the diesel generation typically deployed at data centers, an approach the parties believe reduces both the site's emissions profile and the amount of redundant fuel infrastructure required.</p><p>The site is the first of two initial project sites identified under the MOU, which establishes BlueFlare as the Company's primary developer across Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan for the origination, design, engineering, construction and ongoing support of HPC inference sites integrated with co-located bitcoin mining on a behind-the-meter basis. Each site is expected to be advanced under a separate site-specific Commercial Term Sheet and one or more associated definitive agreements addressing site-level economics, capacity, schedule, construction scope and operations. The parties' current discussions regarding the first site remain preliminary and non-binding, and any Commercial Term Sheet, and the principal commercial terms it would contain, remain subject to continued negotiation and the negotiation and execution of one or more definitive agreements. There can be no assurance that the parties will enter into any Commercial Term Sheet or definitive agreement, or that the site will be developed on the terms contemplated, or at all.</p><p><b>About FingerMotion, Inc.</b></p><p>FingerMotion is an evolving technology company with a core competency in mobile payment and recharge platform solutions in China.
