FireFly Metals Ltd

(ACN 110 336 733)

Important Information

This is a supplementary prospectus ( Supplementary Prospectus ) which supplements and is intended to be read with the prospectus dated 7 October 2024 ( Prospectus ) issued by FireFly Metals Ltd (ACN 110 336 733) ( Company ).

This Supplementary Prospectus is dated 24 October 2024 and was lodged with ASIC on that date.

ASIC, the ASX and their respective officers take no responsibility for the contents of this Supplementary

Prospectus.

This Supplementary Prospectus should be read together with the Prospectus. Other than as set out below, all details in relation to the Prospectus remain unchanged. Terms and abbreviations defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning in this Supplementary Prospectus. If there is any conflict between the Prospectus and this Supplementary Prospectus, this Supplementary Prospectus will prevail.

This Supplementary Prospectus will be issued with the Prospectus as an electronic prospectus, copies of which can be downloaded from https://fireflymetals.com.au/asx-announcements/.

This is an important document and should be read in its entirety. If you do not understand it, you should consult your professional advisers without delay.

1. Purpose of this Supplementary Prospectus

Under the Prospectus, the Company reserved the right to increase acceptances under the SPP Offer in the event of oversubscriptions, subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act. As at the date of this Supplementary Prospectus, and as a result of strong Shareholder interest in and support for the SPP Offer, the Company has received valid applications above the initial $5,000,000 intended to be raised under the SPP Offer.

Accordingly, the Board has resolved to increase the maximum size of the SPP to $8,000,000, up from the original target size of $5,000,000. As a result, the number of SPP Shares offered under the SPP Offer to Eligible Shareholders has been increased from 5,263,158 SPP Shares to up to 8,421,690 SPP Shares.

By this Supplementary Prospectus, the Company makes the amendments to the Prospectus as set out in Section 3 below for the purpose of providing additional information to Shareholders in relation to the increase in SPP Shares offered pursuant to the SPP Offer under the Prospectus and the increase in the amount proposed to be raised under the SPP Offer.

The SPP Offer is inconsistent with the requirements of the ASIC Instrument. Accordingly, the issue of the SPP Shares under the SPP Offer is made pursuant to the Company’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.

In order to ensure that this information is properly incorporated into the Prospectus, it must be lodged with ASIC and released to ASX. This Supplementary Prospectus has been drafted to comply with the relevant provisions of the Corporations Act.

2. No Investor Action Required

The Directors believe that the changes in this Supplementary Prospectus are not materially adverse from the point of view of an investor. Accordingly, no additional investor action is required and no withdrawal rights will apply for the purposes of section 724 of the Corporations Act.

3. Amendments to the Prospectus

For the reasons set out in Section 1 above, by this Supplementary Prospectus, the following amendments are made to the Prospectus:

(a) Cover page

SPP Offer Sections
1(b) and 2.1
The SPP Offer is an offer to each Eligible Shareholder to apply for a maximum of
$30,000 worth of SPP Shares at an issue price of $0.95 per SPP Share to raise up to
$8,000,000 (before costs).
Generally, an issue of securities under a security purchase plan that satisfies the
requirements of the ASIC Instrument will fall within the exception stipulated by Listing
Rule 7.2 Exception 5 and will not count towards an entity’s Listing Rule 7.1 placement
capacity. Given that the Company conducted another security purchase plan offer in
the 12-month period prior to this SPP Offer, the Company is unable to rely on the relief
granted pursuant to the ASIC Instrument and, as a result, fall within the terms of Listing
Rule 7.2 Exception 5. Accordingly, the Company has agreed to issue the SPP Shares
pursuant to its Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity.
Indicative Capital Structure Section 3.1
The effect of the SPP Offer on the capital structure is set out below (assuming no other
Securities are issued and no other existing Securities are exercised or converted):

issue are as follows:
