Hummingbird Resources Plc / Ticker: HUM / Index: AIM / Sector: Mining
Hummingbird Resources Plc ("Hummingbird" or the "Company" or the "Group")
Interim Results
Hummingbird Resources Plc, announces its unaudited financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2018 ("the Period"). The Yanfolila Gold Mine ('Yanfolila'), Hummingbird's principal asset, performed solidly and in line with guidance in its first full 6 months of production pouring 51,304 ounces of gold with the Group ending the Period with US$46.2 million cash.
OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
-- Successful on schedule transition from construction, through ramp up, to full scale operations at Yanfolila with mine and plant operating at name plate capacity by end Q1 with commercial production declared from 1 April 2018
-- 51,304 ounces of gold poured at an average mill feed grade of 3.22 g/t -- 50,667 ounces of gold sold at an average price of US$1,312/oz -- 577kt of ore mined and plant recovery of 95.64%
-- US$66.6m of revenue in period with total all in sustaining costs ('AISC') of US$884/oz (includes cost from Q1 while in ramp-up to commercial production), with Q2 AISC on gold sold US$790/oz(1).
-- EBITDA(2) of US$21.9m for the Period -- Pre-tax profit US$3.5m for the Period
POST PERIOD HIGHLIGHTS
-- Exploration drilling campaign targeting conversion of Resources to Reserves commenced at the beginning of Q3 with encouraging initial results from the Komana West and Guirin West Deposits:
Komana West
o 11.45m @ 8.69g/t from 69m depth (KWDD0604A)
o 25.75m @ 2.95g/t from 117m depth (KWDD0603)
o 8.05m @ 4.98 g/t from 72.4m depth (KWDD0603)
o 8.1m @ 5.52 g/t from 84.9m depth (KWDD0603)
Guirin West
o 16m @ 3.11g/t from 38m depth (GRWRC1109)
o 4m @ 8.12g/t from 13m depth (GRWRC1106)
o 9m @ 2.06g/t from 27m depth (GRWRC1104)
o 13m @ 1.91 g/t from 16m depth (GRWRC1116)
-- Approved construction of a second ball mill at Yanfolila Gold Mine which is due to be operational in Q3 2019 for a capex of US$13m. When complete, the ball mill is expected to:
o When operating with 100% fresh ore, throughput capacity will increase from 1Mtpa to 1.24Mtpa
OUTLOOK
-- The Company maintains full year (2018) production guidance of 105,000 - 115,000 ounces gold (including Q1 ramp-up)
-- Q3 is expected to have lower production than Q2 due to it being the 'wet season' in Mali. 1) Total mine all in cash costs plus sustaining capital cost divided by oz of gold sold 2) Earnings before interest (including foreign exchange), tax, depreciation and amortisation
Dan Betts, CEO of Hummingbird, commented:
"Hummingbird's H1 interim results show a period of mature progression for the Group from developer to producer with Yanfolila delivering solid results on forecast with high grades and strong recoveries coming through the plant. Financially the Group is in a good position with strong earnings and on a corporate level our board has adapted successfully whilst attracting skills and talent appropriate for our operating status. We are coming to the end of our first full rainy season as an operator in Mali and the team have experienced one of the heaviest rains seen in the region for a decade. This has presented new challenges which the team has worked tirelessly to overcome. Despite lower production figures anticipated in the current quarter I am happy that we remain on schedule to meet our annual production guidance. I am also pleased to report that the 2018 exploration programme is in full throttle with encouraging results coming in from the drill programme.
Once again we can report our continued safety record at site. This is an integral focus for the Company as we look to not only operate a highly profitable mine but a safe one where all staff and contractors are working to best practice. Around the mine we remain committed to our local engagement initiatives and to implementing a collaborative and responsible approach to community relations with the Period seeing investment in community water supply, training, several new livelihoods projects and the completion of a new community health centre. We also raised around GBP75,000 from the sale of the first collection of SMO gold coins originating from Yanfolila, and other items donated to the charity auction, with the funds raised being donated The Pygmy Hippo Foundation and Tusk."
The interim results have also been made available on the Company's website.
Operating Review
Yanfolila delivered a solid H1 production figure of 51,304 ounces of gold poured and the processing plant performing strongly. The mine is on track to achieve its 2018 production target of 105,000 - 115,000 ounces. A total of 50,667 ounces of gold was sold at an average price of US$1,312/oz.
During the period, the plant met the design criteria and capacity. The design feed rate to the plant was achieved and sustained with excellent gold recoveries from the CIL circuit, with recoveries exceeding the design figure of 93%, consistently at over 95%. The Company has hired and trained plant operators from local villages, which is in line with one of its objectives to provide local employment. The success of this can be seen in the consistently strong performance of the plant and we will continue to ensure that community development is prioritised.
Focus and emphasis was placed on shovel optimisation and increased utilisation over the entire suite of equipment in order to build an optimal ore stockpile. This has allowed a greater blending capability for the processing plant in terms of the type of material and grade delivered.
Hummingbird's safety record continued to improve with the Group having achieved 500,000 LTI free hours in the period.
Exploration Review
The 2018 exploration strategy aims to bring as much of the approximately 1.5Moz of Resources, not currently in Reserves, into the Life of Mine plan. The focus is on prioritising those areas that have the greatest impact to the mine life, as well as discovering extensional Resources within the licence area to ensure a healthy pipeline of ore Reserves.
Initial results from the Group's exploration programme were encouraging with the first batch of results showing significant numbers of positive drill intersections defining in places new zones of mineralisation not currently defined as Resources and not in the current mine plan.
At Komana West, based on the revised model, a number of mineable widths are coming through on drill intersections outside of the current pit design and extending zones within the current pit design deeper. Once drilling has confirmed the geometry of the new zones, modelling will be carried out to confirm the tonnes and grade of these zones and the pit optimisation re-run before they can be added into the mine plan.
At Guirin West ('GW'), drilling has been strictly to infill and de-risk the+70koz Resources already delineated. The drilling has confirmed the existence of shallow oxide mineralisation suitable for extraction by open pit mining. No Reserves or Resources from GW are currently in the current mine plan and any Reserves delineated will be available for immediate mining in the short term due to the shallow nature of the mineralisation, the close proximity to the processing plant and current haul road infrastructure.
Community
The Group has carried out significant community work throughout the period including the construction of a new community health centre in Bougoudale village, which comprised of construction of the main building, a pharmacy, maternity unit, borehole, water supply system and accommodation. The Group's existing water supply initiatives have continued, with new boreholes equipped with pumps and solar panels constructed in four villages and distribution networks installed to communal taps. The estimated total number of beneficiaries of these projects amounts to over 5,000 people across four villages. A major focus for the period has been the implementation of several new livelihood development projects including two irrigated market gardens targeting 200 women, as well as four poultry projects. We look forward to seeing positive economic returns from these projects in the coming months. Vocational training for 25 youths in welding was undertaken for 3 months in partnership with local NGO Nege Blon. This training included a one month work placement at companies working in Mali. Initiatives such as these have seen Hummingbird be successfully aligned with the local communities.
