Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

    Underlying source

Source notes

Deep River Data is majority-managed by HM Tech, which runs an existing bitcoin mining and ASIC repair facility in Graham, NC. The company says the North Carolina site would serve AI workloads rather than crypto mining. As of the reporting cited, the project is pre-feasibility: nothing has been approved, permitted or built, and no capacity figure has been published. Site is south of U.S. 421 near the Lee–Chatham county line; coordinates are the Cumnock community, not a parcel.

Company proposes to power the site with methane produced on-site from Butler Well No. 3, a 1998 vertical well drilled to 2,655 feet in the Triassic Basin; it would be the first commercial gas well in that basin if approved.
