Utilities and Services
The camp is supported by essential utilities required for continuous field operations, including:
• On-site diesel power generation
• Potable and utility water storage
• Secure fuel storage facilities

All services have been designed to support exploration activities while minimizing environmental and operational risk.

The camp has been designed to support safe working conditions and responsible environmental management consistent with international exploration standards.
