MDM Engineering Group (MDM), the minerals process and project management company has received a Letter of Intent to complete the Detailed Feasibility Study (DFS) and Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) for Hummingbird Resources Dugbe 1 Project in Liberia. The Dugbe Shear Zone area consists of 2,000 km2 in central eastern Liberia, located 40 km northeast of the coastal town of Greenville. The project is underlain by Birimian geology, making it highly prospective for gold. Over 61,000 m of drilling has been completed and there is a 118 t gold Resource.
The FEED will be conducted alongside the DFS to expedite the timeframe of mine construction allowing the company to proceed directly to an engineering, procurement and construction contract at the end of the DFS, which is expected to be completed by the end of Q3 2014.
George Bennet, MDM Executive Director said: “MDM is very pleased to have been awarded the DFS and FEED for the Dugbe 1 Project in Liberia. Our team’s extensive gold experience in West Africa, which includes completing over 40 gold Bankable and Definitive Feasibility Studies, as well as the construction of over 30 gold plants, will add significant value to Hummingbird Resources. We look forward to a successful working relationship.”
