JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – First concrete has been poured at Aim-listed Hummingbird Resources’ most advanced asset, the Yanfolila gold project, in Mali.

Civil works contractor Imagri-sarl will now continue with the concrete pour over the next three months.
 
Meanwhile, several material orders for the 132 000 oz project have been placed with suppliers, including agitators ordered from Afromix, linear screens ordered from Delkor and regeneration kiln and interstage screens ordered from Kemix.

Hummingbird also placed an order for primary and secondary crushers, as well as for screens and feeders, with mining equipment supplier Metso.
 
The company remains on time and within budget, having committed to $12-million to date.

CEO Dan Betts said he was impressed with the progress the team and contractors were making on site at Yanfolila. “The first concrete pour is a significant milestone on our path to production and we remain on schedule for our first gold pour by the end of next year." 

Meanwhile, the company has also completed the process of compensating 50 farmers for loss of croplands over areas of construction, mining and associated infrastructure.
