 lack of appetite to reduce flare / methane   
 gas emissions.                                                     | There are certain                                                   
 geographies where Argo can locate its operations where the Company  
 can make use of strategic partnership opportunities.                | There                                                               
 is a large demand for technologies that enable demand response      
 initiatives to help balance the supply and demand of electricity on 
 the grid, which boosts Argo’s ability to develop strategic          
 partnerships. Argo is presented with opportunities to benefit from  
 renewable electricity deployment and the requirements to decrease

#### Company Resilience to Climate Risk
In all scenarios there is a focus on energy efficiency because this is a key variable on which Argo competes with its peers.

The Company has set a climate strategy that approaches the risks and opportunities associated with each scenario, however, the greatest opportunities are presented from the Net Zero scenario where Argo Blockchain is positioned to help enable the energy transition with the increased deployment of renewable electricity and demand response.

We are therefore currently trying to manage these risks so that we are well-prepared across these different types of scenarios and will try to incorporate these insights into our climate strategy moving forward. However, this is only our first climate-related scenario analysis, and we will work over the future to expand this analysis and to quantify the financial impacts of these different scenarios and to reflect developments in climate science and methodology.

Although these are the risks and opportunities that currently face the Company, we will continue to identify new and emerging climate-related risks that could impact the Company.

#### Risk Management
Recommended disclosure: a. Describe the organization’s processes for identifying and assessing climate- related risks.

Argo identifies and assesses risks associated with climate change across all transition risks (policy and legal, technology, market changes and reputation) and physical risks (both acute and chronic). Processes that help identify climate-related risks and opportunities include:

●

Monitoring changes in the external policy environment, including existing and emerging legislation, and national and international government announcements.

●

Observing market developments, such as advances in technology that may reduce our operating costs,

or changes in perception about the industry’s impact on the environment.

●

Internal and external judgement using resources such as regulatory guidance, industry reports and peer comparisons.

We use these and other processes to identify risks relating to climate change, and to determine their significance.

The Company has yet to formalize a process in which climate-related risks are assessed in terms of their significance relative to other principal risks and assessing the potential size and scope of the risk.
