AIM - LOSERS

Hummingbird Resources PLC, down 27% at 1.49p, 12-month range 1.30p-14.00p. The firm says the Kouroussa gold mine in Guinea has reached commercial output. A four-week trailing average production increased to around 1,900 ounces with an average selling price during that stretch of US$2,473 per oz, below the spot gold price, due to the "company's existing hedging contracts, which are expected to expire at the end of Q1-2025". An ounce of gold fetched just over USD2,672 on Monday morning at around 1045 GMT. The output was below the target of 2,000-2,500 ounces per week "primarily due to a lower-than-expected mill feed grade". Hummingbird expects annual output of 45,000 to 50,000 oz of gold Kouroussa in 2024, at an all-in sustaining cost of below USD1,500 per oz. Earlier this month, it predicted an ASIC of below USD1,400 per oz.
