On Wednesday 31 January 2024, the British company Hummingbird, based in Yanfolila, Mali, announced that it had achieved its 2023 production targets, with 83,965 ounces (2.61 tonnes) of gold delivered. This is a first for 4 consecutive years.
By delivering 2.61 tonnes of gold, the Yanfolila gold mine has reassured its owner Hummingbird Resources, which had forecast production of between 80,000 and 90,000 ounces.
The company also added that its new gold mine in Guinea, Kouroussa, has delivered 6,068 ounces (172kg) since it began production in June 2023.
It should be noted that this is the first time in 4 years that the company has achieved its gold production targets at Yanfolila.
The Yanfolila gold mine is 80% owned by Hummingbird and 20% by the Malian government. It delivered 80,653 ounces (2.5 tonnes) in 2022. Between 2020 and 2022, Hummingbird was unable to meet its annual production forecasts at the Yanfolila gold mine in Mali. The company has therefore taken steps to change this situation.
