Hummingbird Resources plc provided an update on the Company's 2021 infill drilling programme at the Kouroussa Gold Mine, which is located within the prospective Siguiri Basin in Guinea. The Company has received the first initial assay results on 53 new Reverse Circulation drill holes and one diamond dual purpose hole, totalling approximately 3,800 metres drilled of a planned 24,000 m drill programme at one of Kouroussa's key deposits, KoeKoe. Following the purchase of the Kouroussa gold project in September 2020, it was identified as a Company goal to increase the reserve base to +1Mozs as quickly as possible. The first step in achieving this goal was to initially target the inferred material contained within the planned KK open pit (@$1,500/oz gold price). Due to the tight spacing of drilling whereby indicated resources have a drill density of less than or equal to 25m x 25m, an infill drill programme was designed to allow for the conversion of the inferred material (drill density of 50m X 50m spacing) to Indicated. A review of the KK drill database also showed that there were numerous mineralised zones not contained within the MRE grade domains and therefore represented excellent opportunities to add new shallow mineralised zones to the MRE on which to grow the resources and likely to add to future mineable reserves. The infill drill programme at KK, is for +24,000 m and approximately +300 holes, down to a maximum depth of 200m (drill hole depth). Approximately 16,000 m of the 24,000 m drilling has been completed, and is on target to be completed by year end. KK is made up of multiple pits from five mineralised zones with many of these open ended along strike or down dip. The majority of the inferred mineral resources are contained within the Sanu Filanan zone (approx. 110kozs) located within the main pit and the planned drilling has mostly concentrated on this zone. The drilling is testing: the deeper inferred material within the main pit of the KK deposit; extensional drilling to further grow the current mineral resource base; testing for new shallow zones of open pit mineralisation; and drilling for initial indications of underground mineral resource potential, Work has begun on preparing and planning for the 2022 exploration drill programme with the likely focus on increasing the economic mineral resources at the KK deposit and the other key deposit at Kouroussa, called Kinkine. An updated Company reserve statement is to be released later this quarter, to include a maiden reserve on the Kouroussa KK deposit to be based on the mineral resource estimate ('MRE') as at May 2020. These and subsequent drill results for 2021 will be used in the 2022 updated Company resources and reserves statement to be released Second Quarter 2022. Kouroussa's total current resource is 1.18Moz at +3 g/t (625,600oz indicated, 552,700oz inferred), with the KK's current resource at 846,000 oz at 3.54g/t (487,000 oz indicated, 359,000 oz inferred).
