Mining is growing?

Sapphire's decision to enter the mining business is an unexpected manifestation of confidence in the future growth of the sector. A significant part of the recent news about mining were, at least negatively, as prices in a bear market made this operation unprofitable.

For example, earlier this month, it was revealed that weak demand from GPU buyers was one of the leading factors contributing to lower sales of major graphics card manufacturers such as Asus and Gigabyte, which are struggling with unsold stocks.

Adrian Thompson, Vice President of marketing, Sapphire Technology, commented on the event:
