Mining group Hummingbird Resources said it had confirmed the acquisition of the Kouroussa gold project in Guinea from Cassidy Gold, having completed due diligence.This marks a pivotable point in HUM's story and is a significant next step in achieving the company's ambition to create a sustainable multi-asset gold producer.Hummingbird looks forward to working with Guinea's government as it progressed the project as quickly as possible. First gold production is targeted within two years, with production of about 100 000 oz/y and an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of about $800/oz over an initial five-year life-of-mine (LoM).Hummingbird CEO Dan Betts says acquisition of Cassidy Guinea and the Kouroussa gold project marks a transformational step in the development of Hummingbird and the execution of its strategy to become a multi-asset gold producer in the near term.HUM Recently released its 2020 guidance and a five-year rolling mine plan for its Yanfolila gold mine, in Mali, where the company expects to produce between 110 000 oz and 125 000 oz of gold this year at an all-in sustaining cost of $850/oz to $895/oz. A lot of exciting company building stuff going on including the company investments as in 12.25% ownership of Cora Gold & Bunker Hill mining corp (USA Silver Asset) of which Hummingbird holds 4,052,857 Common Shares, equating to an interest in Bunker Hill of 5.8 per cent.
