DORAL, FL--(Marketwired - Oct 23, 2017) - Santo Mining Corp. (the "Company"), (OTC PINK: SANP) is pleased to announce it has initiated its first orders of crypto currency mining systems. The company has ordered 100 model Antminer S9 crypto currency mining systems made by Bitmain Technology Co., Ltd.; delivery of the fist batch order will be in 30-45 days. The company estimates that due to high global demand of the Antminer S9 model, total delivery of 100 Antminer S9 models will be completed by mid first quarter of 2018. Independently as the company receives its orders, the machines will be configured and initiated to start mining. 

The company is currently also in communications with Shenzhen Halley Cloud Technology Co., Ltd., developers of the Panda B3 Plus and the Panda B5 Plus crypto currency mining systems and Innosilicon Technology Co., Ltd., developers of the A5 Dashminer.

Rolf Bansbach, CTO of Santo Mining, stated, "Diversification of mining platforms are essential for the crypto currency mining strategy of the company; each system is unique in what crypto currency coin base systems it mines and there are many crypto currencies like Ether, Dogecoin and Lite Coin just to name a few, that offer us the same or more returns for working and solving transactions."

Matthew Arnett, CMO of Santo Mining, stated, "We have gone though many changes in the last 30 months; these changes have been always focusing on bringing shareholder value and building a company for all stakeholders. We are extremely happy to say Santo Mining as a brand is here to stay; during the weeks to come we will be focusing on brand identity and market awareness, to resolve this identity crisis."

Franjose Yglesias, CEO of Santo Mining, stated, "We are still currently in negotiations with Canoe Pool; the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held this month in conjunction with many new regulations and uncertainties of crypto currencies in China has created opportunities of study for the group to strategically see how we will develop our cooperation and how this cooperation will look down the road."
