ZUG, Switzerland and VANCOUVER, Sept. 24, 2019 /CNW/ - HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSX.V:HIVE) (OTCQX:HVBTF) (the "Company" or "HIVE") is providing a biweekly status update on the delay of filing its annual financial statements and accompanying management's discussion and analysis for the financial year ended March 31, 2019 (collectively, the "Annual Filings").

"I am pleased that we remain on track to release our financial statements," said Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of HIVE. "Our team has been hard at work to complete the audit and to meet our regulatory obligations. Though cryptocurrency remains volatile, which impacts the stock, blockchain and cryptocurrencies continue to move ahead and are reshaping the world that we live in. HIVE is proud to be a leader which can again focus our efforts and energy on moving the company ahead."

HIVE confirms that since it announced a delay of its Annual Filings (the "Filings Notice") there is no material change to the information set out in the Filings Notice that has not been generally disclosed and there has been no failure by the Company in fulfilling its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines set out in NP 12-203.
