Response to COVID-19 global pandemic
• Priority remains the safety and wellbeing of staff, contractors, service providers and suppliers
• Aim to maintain production and cash flows during this unprecedented global event
• Focus remains on progressing key medium and long-term initiatives where possible
• Short-term strategic objectives to combat the dynamic changes associated with COVID-19 include:
1. Protect and secure the operating environment and local communities
2. Protect the health, safety and fitness-to-work of everybody working at site
3. Protect and preserve the supply chain
4. Protect and preserve short term liquidity
Update – 1 June 2020

ESG: A significant part of Hummingbird’s sustainable growth strategy
Environment Social HSEPeople and Ethics
• Hummingbird is committed
both to the environment in the
communities where we operate
as well as the wider
environmental effects of our
operations
• The Yanfolila Tailings Storage
Facility (TSF) was
commissioned in December
2017 and is managed to

Kouroussa Exploration Upside
Results from a more in depth data review of the Kouroussaproject conducted as part of Hummingbird’s initial due diligence highlighted:
• The high grade nature of the Kouroussa gold system which includes Koekoe, Kinkine, X-Vein and Bag Farm –Junction
• Further upside potential for open pit and underground resources outside of the current stated mineral resource of 1.1Mozs
• The presence of gram metre intervals greater than 100 gram metres
o A sign of the potential world class nature of the Kouroussa gold system
o Further focused exploration is planned to confirm this
• All deposits remain open and further exploration work is required to enable Hummingbird to fully evaluate the potential of the Project

Guinea as a mining jurisdictionGUINEA HAS A WELL ESTABLISHED MINING CODE AND EXISTING OPERATING MINING SECTOR
The Mining Code
• Final amendments to the “new” code were promulgated in April
2013
• The Government has the right to 15% non-dilutable free-carried
interest and to acquire up to a further 20% interest for cash
• These are maximum levels of Government participation – final terms
in every case to be negotiated individually in a Mining Agreement
between the Government and the mining company
Mining in Guinea
• Mining accounts for over 70% of the country’s exports
• Several “majors” are already present in the country
• Deposits of bauxite, iron ore, gold and diamonds with significant
geological potential

2020 Exploration Programme to convert significant
Resources to Reserves:
1. Sanioumale East & West: Oxide, Medium - High grades, open pitable, remain open along strike and depth into the fresh rock. Sanioumale East not yet in reserves, intersections such as 10.5m at 5.4 g/t gold from hole SNDD0029, which require follow up work, demonstrate future resource growth
2. Komana East Underground: High grades, underground potential not currently in Reserves. Drilling to date has intersected and confirmed the presence and continuity of mineralisation that extends beyond the previous limit of the resource model
3. Greenfields targets: Located within 5-8kms from process plant, targeting high grade oxide ore

1. A preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature and include inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Additionally, inferred mineral resources are subject to uncertainty as to their existence and their economic legal feasibility. See “Disclosure” on page 1 and “PEA Assumptions” in the Appendix.
2. PEA on Dugbe 1 Project prepared by Wardell Armstrong, April 2013 (3.5 Mtpa plant tank leach, owner operated case). Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
