Our efforts to drill a well have progressed rapidly in a short amount of time. We are being given frequent updates by our team on the ground in Tloma. We hope to get the Tloma team together soon and introduce them to you.

Our team in Tloma says:
We got to 140m today. To be continued tomorrow. Hit a little water strike but now reached promising rock profile. Hopefully tomorrow we shall hit major water strike.

Our team in Tloma says:
The boys (the drillers) observed the formation and decided to give it a go tomorrow at 9am. Drilling paused at 180m to flush in the morning and do another 20m and observe the outcome. Doesn’t look bad so far. There was lots of muddy water flushed out. If it rests overnight, tomorrow will have a better outcome after flushing and doing the further 20m.
