Pasofino Announces Update on Private Placement

Hummingbird Resources plc (AIM: HUM) is pleased to note the successful completion of Pasofino Gold Limited's ("Pasofino") non-brokered private placement, which raised gross proceeds of approximately US$2.4 million.

Pasofino, which Hummingbird holds a controlling interest in, has secured subscription agreements for the full 4,806,767 units at a price of US$0.52 (or C$0.70) per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of US$2,438,217 (C$3,364,739). The proceeds from this offering will further support Pasofino's strategic objectives and its ongoing exploration and development activities at the Dugbe Gold Project in Liberia.

The closing of the offering is subject to conditional approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and is expected to take place shortly. All securities issued under the offering will be subject to a four-month and one-day hold period from the closing date, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities regulations.

As previously disclosed, Hummingbird did not participate in the fundraise but will retain its majority shareholding (reduced from 53% to c.50.4%) with the full allotment secured, and therefore a controlling stake in this potential world-class development project.
