Hummingbird on track for Yanfolila’s first gold pour by year-end
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Aim-listed Hummingbird Resources has awarded the structural, mechanical, plate work and piping (SMPP) contract for its Yanfolila gold project, in Mali, where mine construction is currently under way, to construction company Imagri-SARL.
The company on Thursday noted that plant construction was on track, with completion planned for the fourth quarter, ahead of its first gold pour expected by the end of the year.
Hummingbird CEO Dan Betts said the company was “making great progress” on the ground. “We are delighted to have appointed Imagri-SARL for the important SMPP contract, having already seen their excellent results from the civil works on site,” he said.
Steelwork has also started to arrive at Yanfolila, with the carbon-in-leach tanks to be assembled soon. “In the mean time, we look forward to welcoming a number of mining analysts and investors on site at Yanfolila next week at this exciting time for Hummingbird,” said Betts.
Much of the mechanical equipment has also now been ordered and many items are now being shipped to site. The tower crane, which will be used to help build the plant and later maintain the plant when in operation, is now on site.
To facilitate mining, the drilling of the pit dewatering bores has started and the pit dewatering is scheduled to start in the second quarter.
