Hummingbird Resources plc ("Hummingbird" or "the Company")
Increases Stake in Yanfolila Gold Project to 80% Ahead of Production by Year-End
Hummingbird Resources (AIM: HUM) is pleased to announce it has acquired an additional 5% interest and a 1% royalty in the Yanfolila Gold Project in Mali ("Yanfolila" or "the Project") for US$2 million, increasing its stake to 80% ahead of its first gold pour from Yanfolila targeted by the end of 2017.
Highlights:
-- Hummingbird has agreed to take up its option with La Petite Mine d'Or ("LPMDO") to acquire its 5% interest in the Project for the US$1 million
-- In addition the Company negotiated the acquisition of the 1% royalty LPMDO had over the Project for a further US$1 million
-- The Company now has an 80% interest in the Project (previously 75%) -- 3% royalty to the Government of Mali ("GoM") over the Project remains -- US$2 million to be paid in shares on 31 March 2018
Dan Betts, CEO of Hummingbird, commented:
"Finalising a previously agreed acquisition of the LPMDO minority interest is another exciting step forward as we close in on our first gold pour from Yanfolila. Additionally, by reducing the royalties over the Project we have further increased the benefit to Hummingbird as we firmly believe the mine life will increase significantly as we convert further Resources into Reserves once we are in production.
"We continue to make excellent progress on site and as a result we continue to advance Yanfolila to production both on time and on budget."
Further information:
When the Company acquired the Project the GoM had a 10% free carried interest and LPMDO had a 5% interest in the Project. The GoM also had the right to acquire an additional 10% interest in the Project that it exercised in February 2017 for US$11 million taking its stake to 20%. As a result of this acquisition the total royalty over the Project has been reduced to the 3% due to the GoM.
The consideration of US$2m due to LPMDO will be satisfied though the issue of 6,197,353 ordinary 1p shares in Hummingbird which are expected to be issued on 31 March 2018.
