("Hummingbird" or the "Company") (AIM: HUM)
SENET Appointed for Development of Yanfolila
Hummingbird Resources, the multi asset gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that following a competitive tender process, it has appointed SENET (Pty.) Ltd. in Johannesburg, South Africa, by way of Letter of Intent ("LOI") to commence engineering of the Yanfolila processing plant and associated infrastructure. SENET has agreed to commence engineering services under the LOI until such time as the contract has been drafted and accepted by both parties, thus maintaining the fast track schedule.
Dan Betts, CEO of Hummingbird, said:
"After a competitive tender process where we received expressions of interest from a number of globally recognised consultancies, we are very pleased to have appointed SENET as consultant for our Yanfolila project. They have extensive experience in West Africa, as well as over three years working on the Yanfolila project for Gold Fields before Hummingbird acquired it, and will complement our Project Development team very well."
