Assamo spent early September mostly around Adigala (See map below). His movements during these two weeks are very similar to movements in the past three months. On 8-10 October he did make an excursion about 9 km to the north. There he spent time near a new road that runs through the hills just south of a mining operation. I tried to find out about mining in the area using the internet, but did not have any luck. The Adigala block is an area being leased for oil exploration, but I think this is at a quite early stage and I don't know if any exploration wells have been drilled yet. Does anyone know about mining activity north of Adigala?
