Pasofino Gold Announces a US$2.3 Million Non-Brokered Private
Placement
Hummingbird (AIM: HUM) is pleased to note the announcement made
by Pasofino Gold Limited ("Pasofino") regarding a non-brokered
private placement totalling approximately US$2.33 million ("the
Placement"), inclusive of a US$2 million investment by Hummingbird.
This investment increases Hummingbird's shareholding in Pasofino to
53%.
As previously disclosed, a portion of the US$28.1 million
recently raised by Hummingbird was earmarked for advancing the
Dugbe Gold Project in Liberia, bringing this highly valuable asset
closer to production. The funds from the Placement will be utilised
to optimise the 2022 Definitive Feasibility Study and further
advance the Project. Hummingbird and Pasofino have identified
several opportunities to maximise the value of Dugbe and reduce the
overall project capital expenditure.
Further details can be found in the announcement by Pasofino via
the following link: www.pasofinogold.com
Dan Betts, CEO of Hummingbird, commented:
"The optimisation of the Dugbe Gold Project presents a unique
opportunity to materially increase the project's value in the near
term. In collaboration with Pasofino, we are focused on unlocking
the full potential of this highly promising gold project and
bringing it into full production. By optimising the 2022 Definitive
Feasibility Study and expanding exploration activities, we aim to
improve the project's overall capex profile. This strategic move
reflects our dedication to realising the full potential of the
exciting Dugbe Gold Project, positioning it as a key player in the
region's mining landscape. We look forward to updating the market
on future progress."

About the Dugbe Gold Project
The 2,302 km(2) Dugbe Gold Project is in southern Liberia and
situated within the southwestern corner of the Birimian Supergroup
which is host to most West African gold deposits. To date, two
deposits have been identified on the Dugbe Gold Project: Dugbe F
and Tuzon discovered by Hummingbird entities in 2009 and 2011
respectively. The deposits are located within 4 km of the Dugbe
Shear Zone which is thought to have played a role in large scale
gold mineralization in the area.
A significant amount of exploration in the area was conducted by
Hummingbird up until 2012 including 74,497 m of diamond coring.
Pasofino drilled an additional 14,584 metres at Tuzon and Dugbe F
during 2021. Both deposits have Mineral Resource Estimates dated
November 17 2021, totalling 3.3 Moz gold in the Measured plus
Indicated categories, with an average grade of 1.37 g/t Au using a
0.5 g/t cut-off grade, and an additional 0.6 Moz in Inferred.
Following the completion of the Feasibility Study in June 2022 a
Mineral Reserve Estimate was declared, based on the open-pit mining
of both deposits over a 14-year Life of Mine. A technical report
for the Dugbe Gold Project was prepared in accordance with National
Instrument 43-101 and filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on
the Pasofino's website.
