Hummingbird Resources makes good progress at Yanfolila

Hummingbird Resources released a construction update from the company's Yanfolila Gold Project in Mali on Monday.

The AIM-traded firm confirmed the ball mill was delivered to site at Yanfolila following the shipment from Europe.

It also said the contract mining fleet was “arriving on site”, adding that pre-production mining remained due to commence in Q3 2017.

All aspects of construction were continuing to progress on time and on budget, the board said, with first gold pour due before the end of 2017.

“As the longest lead item, the delivery of the ball mill to site is a significant milestone for Hummingbird and further de-risks the delivery of the project's critical path,” said CEO Dan Betts.

“Construction is progressing well, and I would like to thank our operations team and our construction partners for their continued hard work and dedication on site.”
