Hummingbird / SMK: advancing TSF phases with disciplined execution

Strategic subcontracting for tailings storage facility phases — construction, raise, and related infrastructure at Yanfolila.

Technical Communications·IMS

Inter-Mining Services supports Hummingbird Resources through its strategic partnership with SMK at the Yanfolila Gold Mine in Mali. Our scope has included critical phases of the tailings storage facility (TSF) programme — work that demands geotechnical discipline, water management awareness, and tight coordination with the owner’s engineers.

Scope highlights

  1. Construction and raise works across multiple TSF phases
  2. Integration with road access and services corridors
  3. Sequencing that respects environmental monitoring and community interfaces

Operating principles

We align crews to a single HSE bar: clear permits-to-work, visible leadership on the line, and daily briefings that connect production targets to risk scenarios. That rhythm is how IMS sustains performance on long-duration infrastructure jobs.

TSF work is never “just civil.” It is a live system tied to mill throughput and rainfall — our planning reflects that reality.
