3.0 CONSTRAINTS

On February 21, 2024, we successfully obtained water from a canal located west of the site. Our water tanker was filled,
and we initiated the process of flushing the well. However, it is important to note that the condition of the access road
leading to this canal is continuously deteriorating due to regular use by sand trucks. This degradation of the road is
particularly concerning, especially when our filled water tanker navigates through it.

Given the precarious condition of the road and the risk of potential accidents such as tanker toppling, we have taken
proactive measures to minimize the number of times the truck needs to traverse the access road. One such measure
involves recycling the water used for the flushing process as much as possible. By recycling the water, we aim to reduce
the frequency of tanker movements along the deteriorating road, thereby mitigating the associated risks and ensuring the
safety of our operations.

5.0 PLANS FOR THE COMING WEEK

The following lists the activities planned for the coming week:

1. Continuation of backwashing of well and further well development
