Pasofino Provides Update on Strategic Review Process

Hummingbird (AIM: HUM) is pleased to note the recent update from Pasofino Gold Limited ("Pasofino"), regarding the ongoing strategic review process aimed at advancing the Dugbe Gold Project in Liberia (the "Dugbe"). Hummingbird holds a 53% interest in Pasofino.

Pasofino has reported significant progress in its strategic review, as outlined in their press release dated 26 August 2024. Notably, Pasofino is actively engaged in discussions with several interested parties, two of which have submitted non-binding expressions of interest to acquire the company. A site visit has also taken place as part of this ongoing process.

The strategic review being conducted by Pasofino is focused on unlocking the full potential of the Dugbe Gold Project in Liberia, with the objective of securing financing to advance the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") initiatives that commenced earlier this year. Pasofino notes that it continues to engage with interested parties in the completion of their confirmatory due diligence and structuring to enable Pasofino and a third party to enter into a letter of intent/exclusivity agreement by the end of Q3-2024, and thereafter the intention is to enter into a definitive acquisition agreement in Q4-2024.

The intention is to finalise a definitive acquisition agreement by Q4 2024, pending the outcome of these evolving discussions.

There is no certainty that these discussions will result in a transaction or course of action, nor can the terms or timing of any potential transaction be predicted at this time. Pasofino confirms that it has not signed any binding documents in relation to any potential transaction and is engaged with the parties with respect to the terms of the offer letters.
