Yanfolila, Mali:

· As recently announced in our Q2 2022 operational and trading update, following a low Q1 production quarter, operational results and trends improved during the period. Notably, Q2 2022 production increased 29% from Q1 2022 to 20,013 oz of gold (Q1 2022:   15,548 oz) , with improved mining rates (+26%), processing plant throughput (+20%) and mill feed grade (+9%) achieved during the quarter

· The Dugbe feasibility study results were released during the period (13 June 2022) by our joint venture partners Pasofino showcasing a sizeable gold mining project of 2.76Moz of gold in Reserves (4.01Moz Resources) and strong project economics including a pre-tax NPV5%   of US$690 million (US$530 million post-tax), 26.35% IRR (23.6% post-tax), and a life of mine ("LOM") of 14 years, producing 200koz per annum in the first five years

· The Company is currently conducting a strategic review of its options to best realise the maximum value of Dugbe for all stakeholders

Outlook:  

· As detailed in the recent Q2 2022 Operational and Trading update, the Company maintains its 2022 guidance of 87,000 - 97,000 oz of gold, forecasting improved H2 production versus H1 2022 levels, in line with our start of year guidance expectations and our current mine plan. Due to ongoing inflationary cost pressures, especially from fuel and consumables, the full year AISC guidance of US$1,300 - US$1,450 per oz will be re-assessed at the end of Q3 and a further update provided at that time

Environmental, social and governance ("ESG") updates during the period:

 

· Covid-19 : The Company's ongoing strict on-site testing, quarantine procedures and overall hygiene protocols performed well during the period, especially during the outbreak of the Omicron COVID-19 variant earlier in the year in mitigating virus spread and any adverse health care issues for our employees. Further, during the period increasing on-site employee vaccinations took place  

· Yanfolila, Mali community livelihood and projects: Extension of our current community and livelihood programmes took place during the period including: rehabilitating the 27 existing community water boreholes and adding four new water boreholes during the period; on target to add four market gardens to total 16 by the end of 2022, supporting c.1,050 mainly women with income and local food supply; training of 19 people during the period in beekeeping with c.300 litres of honey produced by the local communities in June 2022 for sale and local consumption; and on target to add an additional four poultry farms to take the total to eight by the end of 2022

Further at Kouroussa advancement in discussions and final negotiations for the mine sites power contract took place during the period, which we expect to be awarded soon. The power contract will include carbon emission reduction technologies to lower the overall carbon footprint of the mine including a +7Mwh solar plant and heat recover generator units at the processing plant

· World Gold Council ("WGC") Responsible Gold Mining Principles ("RGMPs") :  The external assurance audit begun in Q2 for the year three WGC RGMPs requirements.

Dan Betts, CEO of Hummingbird, commented:

 

"Our first half of the year was a busy period as we focussed on our key deliverables. During the past six months we improved operational performance at Yanfolila, with our Q2 2022 production numbers improving 29% versus Q1 2022; began construction at Kouroussa, with a material amount of progress achieved during the period, including major civil work, operational readiness programmes, contracts and community engagement; released our updated Company Reserves and Resources statements, leading to a material uplift in our Company Reserves now totalling at 4.13Moz and Company Resources of 7.28Moz; and the release of a feasibility study on Dugbe by our joint venture partners Pasofino, showcasing a sizeable gold mining project in terms of reserves and resources as well as strong project economics.

 

Looking forward, we are committed to following this positive trend. We will continue improving the operational performance at Yanfolila; maintain the positive progress at Kouroussa in terms of timeframe, cost, and quality delivery towards first gold pour at the end of Q2 2023; and make a decision that is aligned with our stakeholders' best interests at Dugbe."

3.  Significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The consolidated interim financial information has been properly prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, which is expected to be applied in the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.

 

The consolidated interim financial information for the period 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022 is unaudited, does not include all the information required for full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.  In the opinion of the Directors the consolidated interim financial information for the period represents fairly the financial position, results from operation and cash flows for the period in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The consolidated interim financial information incorporates comparative figures for the interim period 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021 and the audited financial year to 31 December 2021.  As permitted, the Group has chosen not to adopt IAS34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

 

The annual financial statements of Hummingbird Resources plc are prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards.  The Group's consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, have been filed with the Registrar of Companies and are available on the Company's website www.hummingbirdresources.co.uk. The auditor's report on those financial statements though unqualified contained an emphasis of matter paragraph in respect of risks surrounding the going concern assumption of the Company at that date.

 

On 30 June 2022, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of negative $1.3 million and total borrowings of $63.2 million. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital deficiency (current assets less current liabilities) of $28.9 million. The current liabilities include Anglo Pacific royalty liability of $15 million which, although current due to the nature of the agreement, is not expected to be paid soon.

Going concern

The Group has prepared cash flow forecasts based on estimates of key variables including production, gold price, operating costs, capital expenditure through to December 2023 that supports the conclusion of the Directors that they expect sufficient funding should be available to meet the Group's anticipated cash flow requirements to this date.

 

These cashflow forecasts are subject to several risks and uncertainties, in particular the ability of the Group to achieve the planned levels of production and the recent average higher gold prices being sustained. The Board reviewed and challenged the key assumptions used by management in its going concern assessment, as well as the scenarios applied and risks considered, including the risks associated with the recent change in governments in Mali and Guinea and subsequent sanctions on Mali, the sanctions on Russia as well as COVID-19.

 

The biggest material uncertainty and risk remains ounces produced and whether the current mine plan can be achieved, mining contractor equipment performance, the impact of COVID-19, and impact of the latest change in government and resulting sanctions in Mali and sanctions on Russia, which are also having a logistical impact on the Group. Where additional funding may be required, the Group believes it has several options available to it, including but not limited to, use of the overdraft facility, cost reduction strategies, selling of non-core assets, raising additional funds from current investors and debt partners.

 

The Board also considered sensitivities to those cash flow scenarios (including where production is lower than forecast and gold prices lower than current levels) which would require additional funding. Should this situation arise, the Directors believe that they have several options available to them, such as use of the current overdraft facility, obtaining additional funding, delaying expenditures, sale of non-core assets, which would allow the Group to meet its cash flow requirements through this period, however, there remains a risk that the Group may not be able to achieve these in the necessary timeframe.

 

Based on its review, the Board has a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future and hence the Board considers that the application of the going concern basis for the preparation of the Financial Statements was appropriate. However, the risk of lower-than-expected production levels, timing of VAT offsets and receipts, increased fuel costs and potential disruptions to supply chain and the ability to secure any potential required funding at date of signing of these financial statements, indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Should the Group be unable to achieve the required levels of production and associated cashflows, defer expenditures or obtain additional funding such that the going concern basis of preparation was no longer appropriate, adjustment would be required including the reduction of balance sheet asset values to their recoverable amounts and to provide for future liabilities should they arise.

4.  EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") is a factor of volumes, prices and cost of production. This is a measure of the underlying profitability of the Group, widely used in the mining sector. Adjusted EBITDA removes the effect of impairment charges, foreign currency translation gains/losses and other non-recurring expense adjustments but including IFRS 16 lease payments.
