January - I suggest you brush up on your macroeconomics and facts about South Eastern Mali! Also your geological positioning of the countries of the vast continent of Africa. There is over 1100 miles from Southern Morocco to the Yanfolila processing plant and mine operation, there is the vast land area known as Western Sahara which sits above the the vast land of Mauritania that also sits between the Southern East side of Mali and the Southern most points of Morocco. I find it quite derogatory and stereotyped when people associate risk in African countries to wars and greed. If you read up about Mali and in particular the location of the processing plant and in particular the current President and his very forward thinking economic regime and very close links with Hummingbird Resources management and crucial Local, local employment strategy, not to mention the amazing community programs and infrastructure incentives that HUM are very actively involved in within a 30 - 40 or so mile radius of the mines and plant, i am sure you will be pleasantly surprised and relieved to discover that all is indeed well and a very safe place to work, live and build an Empire!
Western Sahara is a disputed territory in the Maghreb region of North Africa, partially controlled by the self proclaimed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and partially Moroccan-occupied, bordered by Morocco proper to the north, Algeria to the northeast, Mauritania to the east and south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Its surface area amounts to 266,000 square kilometres (103,000 sq mi). It is one of the most sparsely populated territories in the world, mainly consisting of desert flat lands. The population is estimated at just over 500,000, of which nearly 40% live in Laayoune, the largest city in Western Sahara.
Don't worry January, just think of the $14 - $15m a month revenue that HUM are now churning out. Sleep well :)
