How we checked this
Checked on October 12, 2026. The cited source supports every part of this claim.
Paragraph 37 quotes an internal Hut 8 document (HUT8_00003630) stating each of these points. It says North Bay was idle because of a legal dispute.
Confirmed in the source:
- Before the Merger, Legacy Hut faced challenges at its mining sites in Alberta and Ontario
- The North Bay site was idle
- The Drumheller and Medicine Hat sites were paying above-average energy prices that eroded mining margins
