Hummingbird Resources joins the World Gold Council

Hummingbird Resources plc ("Hummingbird") (AIM:HUM) is pleased to announce it has joined the World Gold Council, the market development organisation for the gold industry, and as a result will adopt the World Gold Council's Responsible Gold Mining Principles.

Dan Betts, CEO of Hummingbird, commented:  

"We are delighted to now be members of the World Gold Council and to contribute to its important work. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Hummingbird and adopting the Responsible Gold Mining Principles underpin our commitment as a sustainable operator.

Additionally, our development of Single Mine Origin Gold, which confirms that gold is derived from a responsible source, due to a keen focus on traceability and provenance, is a testament to this. I am looking forward to working with the Council and its Members to share best practice and to promote the long-term development of the gold industry."
