About Hummingbird Resources Plc

Notes to Editors

Hummingbird Resources (AIM: HUM) is building a leading gold production, development and exploration company. The Company has two core gold projects, the near-term production Yanfolila project in Mali and the Dugbe development project in Liberia. Its current focus is on bringing Yanfolila, which has a 1.8Moz gold inventory, to production in H1 2016.  The high grade gold project has the potential to turn a profit in a varying gold price environment and will allow for quick returns with low operating costs. A mandate setting out the key terms of a proposed US$75 million debt facility has been agreed with Taurus Mining and initial mine construction is expected to commence in H1 2015.

The 4.2Moz Dugbe project in Liberia provides Hummingbird with excellent development upside. An optimisation of the DFS is on-going whilst Yanfolila is brought to production in the near-term. Additionally, the Company has 5,000km2 highly prospective exploration ground in Mali and Liberia and is constantly evaluating new quality assets.
