Conversation with James Husband20 Nov 2024 16:40
Hi James, thanks for the reply...Although I don't think I was succinct with my question about trade payables. What I was asking and also believe at this stage is important for shareholders to know is...
How much of the 152 million is debt that is owed to Coris related parties and falls due within the next 12 months?
Best regards
Bushy

Good morning Bushy
Thank you for providing clarification. as noted in the Beaver Creek Presentation, c. US$135M is due by the end of 2025. of that US$30m was due at the end of October and has been rescheduled through waiver agreements. Please note that were Hummingbird default on any of its payment obligations, the full loan would be required immediately.
Thanks
James

Hi James
That does clear it up, the wording chosen in the update (trade payables) give the impression that total liabilities might have been 300m, (services plus debt). Which I didn't think would be the case but wanted to double check incase I had missed something.
Thanks again and good luck over the next couple of weeks and beyond. Hopefully we can announce commercial production prior to the 4th December eh?
Best regards
Bushy

Hi Bushy
Apologies for any confusion. To clarify, there are two separate liabilities:
1. The US$155 million in debt (Coris and CIG), which, as noted above, is largely due over the next twelve months under the current payment schedule.
2. The US$152 million in payables to suppliers, contractors, and other elements across both Yanfolila and Kouroussa. These payables are managed on an ongoing basis with the support of our suppliers. Itβs worth noting that trade payables are a standard feature of any business and are governed by various accounting standards.
Let me know if you need further details.

Hi James
would you mind if I shared this on the forums, I think it would help a lot of people understand HUM's potential inflection prior to any proposed/possible bid and issuance of circulars?
Thanks again

Hi Bushy, happy for you to share. One thing to correct, with the recent reception of the further 10m from CIG, the debt is up to US$165 million
