## Mining Site & Operation

The first batch of mining farm is plugged in directly to a hydro power plant absorbing the excess energy of \~5 Megawatt in Aceh, Sumatra island, Indonesia, at cost maximum of $0.04 operates by our sister company.

### Key Factors of Our Mining Operators

1. **Reliability and Stability**
   Loka aims for a long-term and reliable operation, and the size of our partners’ mining farm has reached economies of scale everything is optimized.
2. **Guaranteed 99.9% uptime**
   Our energy partner supplied us with an uninterrupted power supply at least 99,9% of the time -We use three independent fibre optic uplinks alongside a fourth wireless backup for network redundancy.
3. **In-house repair centre**
   Our mining operator has in-house repair centers with stocked spare parts to fix whatever we can immediately on-site, without needing to send the equipment to the manufacturer’s repair facility physically.
4. **Dedicated power meters connected to each device**
   Dedicated power meters are installed directly on the device, so each mining contract is not billed for the energy consumed by the fan or other airflow equipment.
5. **On-site and remote monitoring**
   We set up integrated 24/7 equipment monitoring, optimizing and handling system for the device, so we are always in full control, including all real-time settings of every device.
