Hummingbird Resources PLC announced that as previously announced, a fire at the primary fuel depot in Conakry, Guinea, led to the temporary suspension of mining operations at Kouroussa, with the processing plant remaining in operation, processing existing stockpiles and limited material mined. Following delivery of fuel to the Kouroussa Gold Mine over the past few days, mining operations at the site are restarting shortly and are expected to ramp up to full capacity levels over the coming weeks. During the suspension of mining operations, the Company has completed several initiatives to improve ramp-up performance, including grade control drilling and dewatering of the operation, and has conducted additional training at the Kouroussa Mine.

The Company remains focused on reaching full commercial production in First Quarter 2024.
