Taking our social responsibilities seriouslyAs an early entrant into post-conflict Liberia, Hummingbird Resources takes its social responsibilities seriously and believes it is having, and will increasing have, a major positive impact on Liberia. Hummingbird Resources believes in supporting the local community and working closely with all communities that it engages with during the exploration process.

Supporting the local workforceHummingbird hires local labour wherever possible to support exploration and operations in the field and provides a fair wage for each day worked as well as providing medical care for all employees. Hummingbird believes in including local communities during exploration, and providing locals with training to assist with all levels of exploration work (trenching, drilling etc), so that even if exploration is unsuccessful, there has still been a positive local impact.

Striving to leave a positive impactMuch of Hummingbird’s logistical work has a direct positive impact on local communities. Over 100km of roads and over 12 public bridges have been built or rehabilitated, all of which are also used by local communities for access into the bush
