JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Following a competitive tender process, multi-asset gold exploration and development company Hummingbird Resources has, by way of a letter of intent (LoI), appointed Johannesburg-based project management and engineering firm Senet to start engineering work on the Yanfolila processing plant and associated infrastructure, in southern Mali.
Senet had agreed to begin engineering services under the LoI until the contract had been drafted and accepted by both parties, thus maintaining the fast-track schedule.
“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’ experience working on the Yanfolila project for Gold Fields before Hummingbird acquired it,” commented Hummingbird CEO Dan Betts.
Hummingbird acquired Gold Fields’ Mali interests in April.
