Aim-listed Hummingbird Resources has joined the World Gold Council, a market development organisation for the gold industry, and will, as a result, adopt the council’s Responsible Gold Mining Principles.
Hummingbird CEO Dan Betts says the principles underpin the miner’s commitment as a sustainable operator.
He adds that the company's development of single mine origin gold, which confirms that gold is derived from a responsible source, is testament to this.
Hummingbird owns and operates the Yanfolila gold mine, in Mali.
