I am continually impressed with the quality and professionalism of our team and our construction partners on the ground moving Yanfolila towards first gold pour."
For his part, Dirk Slabbert, President, Sub-Saharan Africa for Outotec, said: "At Outotec we are pleased to have pre-commissioned this 2MW ball mill at Yanfolila. This adds to our list of more than 100 installed mills in Sub-Saharan Africa, as another world class installation. The commissioning of the mill is a great milestone in every project. Outotec is looking forward to continuing our relationship with Hummingbird throughout the lifecycle of this project, with our vast service capabilities available.
"Everyone from Outotec who was involved in this project, from sales, engineering and execution, is very impressed with the professional manner in which this project has been executed. Hummingbird may be commissioning its first mine, but I believe this is the first of many projects we will execute together."
