Q2-2023, the development of the Komana East Underground Mine has continued to
progress, with significant advancement of the portal access and development
drive declines.
· Yanfolila remains well positioned to meet its FY-2023 production
guidance of 80,000 - 90,000 oz at an AISC of under US$1,500 per oz.

1,000 oz of gold.

pours and shipments through Q4-2023 as the operation progresses towards steady

A more detailed update on the Company's operations will be given at the
Company's Q3-2023 operational and trading update, scheduled for release in
late October 2023.
Dan Betts, CEO of Hummingbird, commented:
"Our H1-2023 performance of over 51 Koz of gold produced at an H1-2023 AISC
profile of US$1,170 per oz and US$33 million of group EBITDA is the result of
the focussed efforts by the team over the last year to stabilise the Yanfolila
operation and re-establish a more reliable platform for the Company to grow
from.
At Kouroussa, H1-2023 saw the construction of the project completed on time
and on budget, and conduct its first gold pour, marking a material milestone
for the Company to become a multi-asset, multi-jurisdictional gold producer.
The key focus for our Kouroussa operations team is on reaching steady state
production and setting the mine up for full commercial production for FY-2024
and beyond.
Further, we are pleased to have agreed a refinancing package with our
financing partner Coris Bank, who remain committed supporters to Hummingbird's
growth platform. This package will provide additional flexibility in 2023 to
allow Kouroussa to reach steady state production and provide additional
capital support for the Group.
More details on our operations will be given at our Q3-2023 operational and
trading update in late October."

2. Adoption of new and revised standards
The interim financial statements have been drawn up based on accounting
policies consistent with those applied in the financial statements for the
year ended 31 December 2022. There were several accounting standards updates
effective 1 January 2023, which did not have any material impact on the
financial statements of the Group.
IFRS 17 effective 1 January 2023 Insurance contracts
IAS 1 effective 1 January 2023 Disclosure of accounting policies
IAS 8 effective 1 January 2023 Definition of accounting estimate
IAS 12 effective 1 January 2023 Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single
transaction
3. Significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted
International Accounting Standards. The principal accounting policies adopted
are set out below. The functional currency of all companies in the Group is
United States Dollar ("$"). The financial statements are presented in
thousands of United States dollars ("$'000").
The consolidated interim financial information for the period 1 January 2023
to 30 June 2023 is unaudited, does not include all the information required
for full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2022. In the opinion of the Directors the consolidated interim financial
information for the period represents fairly the financial position, results
from operation and cash flows for the period in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied. The consolidated interim
financial information incorporates comparative figures for the interim period
1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022 and the audited financial year to 31 December
2022. As permitted, the Group has chosen not to adopt IAS34 'Interim
Financial Reporting'.
The annual financial statements of Hummingbird Resources plc are prepared in
accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards. The Group's
consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022,
have been filed with the Registrar of Companies and are available on the
Company's website www.hummingbirdresources.co.uk. The auditor's report on
those financial statements though unqualified contained an emphasis of matter
paragraph in respect of risks surrounding the going concern assumption of the
Company at that date.
On 30 June 2023, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million and
total borrowings of $128.6 million. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had a
working capital deficiency (current assets less current liabilities) of $98.0
million. The current liabilities include Anglo Pacific royalty liability of
$15 million which, although current due to the nature of the agreement, is not
expected to be paid soon.
Going concern
The Group has prepared cash flow forecasts based on estimates of key variables
including production, gold price, operating costs, capital expenditure through
to December 2024 that supports the conclusion of the Directors that they
expect sufficient funding to be available to meet the Group's anticipated cash
flow requirements to this date.
These cashflow forecasts are subject to several risks and uncertainties, in
particular the ability of the Group to achieve the planned levels of
production and the recent average higher gold prices being sustained. The
Board reviewed and challenged the key assumptions used by management in its
going concern assessment, as well as the scenarios applied and risks
considered, including the risks associated with the recent change in
governments in Mali and Guinea.
The biggest material uncertainty and risk remains ounces produced and whether
the current mine plan can be achieved (including expected production from the
newly completed Kouroussa mine), mining contractor equipment performance.
Where additional funding may be required, the Group believes it has several
options available to it, including but not limited to, use of the overdraft
facility, cost reduction strategies, selling of non-core assets, raising
additional funds from current investors and debt partners.
The Board also considered sensitivities to those cash flow scenarios
(including where production is lower than forecast and gold prices lower than
current levels) which would require additional funding. Should this situation
arise, the Directors believe that they have several options available to them,
such as use of the current overdraft facility, obtaining additional funding,
delaying expenditures, sale of non-core assets, which would allow the Group to
meet its cash flow requirements through this period, however, there remains a
risk that the Group may not be able to achieve these in the necessary
timeframe.
Based on its review, the Board has a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future and hence
the Board considers that the application of the going concern basis for the
preparation of the Financial Statements was appropriate. However, the risk of
lower-than-expected production levels, timing of VAT offsets and receipts and
the ability to secure any potential required funding at date of signing of
these financial statements, indicates the existence of a material uncertainty
which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going
concern.
Should the Group be unable to achieve the required levels of production and
associated cashflows, defer expenditures or obtain additional funding such
that the going concern basis of preparation was no longer appropriate,
adjustment would be required including the reduction of balance sheet asset
values to their recoverable amounts and to provide for future liabilities
should they arise.
4. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") is a
factor of volumes, prices and cost of production. This is a measure of the
underlying profitability of the Group, widely used in the mining sector.
Adjusted EBITDA removes the effect of impairment charges, foreign currency
translation gains/losses and other non-recurring expense adjustments but
including IFRS 16 lease payments.

6. Loss per ordinary share
Basic loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the
period/year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period/year.
The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share is based on the
following data:
