Pasofino announces results of maiden drilling maiden diamond core drilling at the Bukon Jedeh

Hummingbird Resources Plc ("Hummingbird" or the "Company") (AIM: HUM) is pleased to note the recent announcement from Pasofino Gold Limited ("Pasofino") surrounding the results of their maiden diamond core drilling programme at the Bukon Jedeh 'gold camp' ("Bukon"), which has intersected significant gold mineralisation zones within the Dugbe Gold Project in Liberia. Hummingbird holds a 53% interest in Pasofino.

Highlights from Pasofino's Maiden Drilling Programme

·      8 of the 11 holes that reached their target depth intercepted gold mineralised intervals, including:

BKDD001: 21.3m with an average grade of 0.9 g/t Au from 53.5m downhole

BKDD004: 4.0m with an average grade of 2.1 g/t Au from 46.5m downhole

BKDD011: 2.5m with an average grade of 2.2 g/t Au from 43.5m downhole

·      BKDD001, the westernmost drill hole on the main trend, indicates a potential 'build-up' of mineralisation towards an interpreted fold closure, a structural feature similar to that controlling the nearby 2.3 Moz Tuzon deposit. Future drilling will aim to test down-dip and along trend from BKDD001, and

·      Additional exploration is planned for the DSZ target, situated 4 km along strike from the Tuzon deposit, where a 2021 channel cut into bedrock returned 36m at an average grade of 0.6 g/t Au, though it remains untested by drilling.
