  • FireFly has boosted its in-country team with the appointment of highly regarded Newfoundland geologist Mr Crispin Pike as Vice President of Exploration

  • Four drill rigs now operating at the Ming Mine focussed on Resource growth, infill drilling and new discovery drilling utilising geophysical targeting

  • Underground DHEM geophysics has commenced at Ming underground to target new and parallel high-grade massive sulphide copper-gold lodes

  • Green Bay Resource updates planned for Sep Qtr 2024 followed by another in March Qtr 2025

  • The Company remains well funded with $38.1M (30 June 2024)

FireFly Managing Director Steve Parsons said: “The outstanding drilling results we have been generating show clearly that we are in the midst of an exceptional VMS mineralised system.

“And now we have identified a host of compelling targets, some of which we already know are strongly mineralised, nearby.

“These are high quality prospects, and any new discoveries would have potential to drive substantial increases in the Green Bay Resource at a similar high grade, creating further significant shareholder value in the process”.

FireFly Metals Ltd (ASX: FFM) is pleased to announce that it has identified multiple compelling targets for further exploration with strong potential to grow the existing Resource, in addition to its current drill program, at its Green Bay Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland, Canada.

The targets stem from a detailed review of historical data. This highlighted numerous geological targets considered prospective for both VMS-style mineralisation (like FireFly’s Green Bay Cu-Au deposits) and orogenic veins-style gold deposits, such as those observed to the south at New Found Gold Corp’s (TSX-V: NFG) Queensway project.

Key targets include the Rambler Main Au-Cu mine, which was only mined to ~200m below surface and contains intersections including 25m @ 4.7g/t gold and 0.24% copper and remains completely open, the Rambler East Mine which contains intersections of 13.0m @ 1.5% copper and 21.0m @ 1.2% copper and the nearby Little Deer Mine (Mineral Resource of 9.1Mt @ 1.91% CuEq[1] ).

The land holding also contains numerous significant indicators of sub-surface mineralisation, including a significant 2km by 1km gold-in-till soil anomaly with gold grades up to 23.3g/t at South Brook and rock chip samples of up to 27% copper at the Green Bay South target area.

In light of these targets, FireFly has commenced a systematic regional exploration campaign, with geophysical surveys underway. A regional ground gravity program has commenced and downhole electromagnetic (‘DHEM’) surveying is in progress at the Ming mine with the aim of delineating near-mine exploration targets. Lease-wide airborne VTEM is scheduled to be flown in the coming weeks giving full coverage of the leases. Drilling will commence on completion of the initial geophysical surveying in the coming weeks. FireFly holds 211sqkm of exploration tenure around the Ming Mine at Green Bay, which hosts a foreign resource estimate of 39.2Mt at 2.1% for 811,000t CuEq.[1]

TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON GEOLOGY AND TARGET AREAS Green Bay Regional Copper Gold Discovery Targets

The Green Bay Copper Gold Project is set on a 211km[2] of exploration tenure in the Baie Verte region of Northern Central Newfoundland, Canada (Figure 3)

==> picture [265 x 242] intentionally omitted <==

The Green Bay Cu-Au project is headlined by resources at the Ming Mine (30.2Mt @ 2.1% CuEq) and Little Deer (9.1Mt @ 2.0% CuEq).[1] These resources remain open, with Ming currently the focus of a 4-rig underground growth campaign to rapidly expand the mineral resource.

The claims surrounding the Ming and Little Deer mines have seen minimal investment in modern exploration. Based on the potential for future district scale coppergold discoveries, FireFly has expanded its land holding to consolidate the Baie Verte Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) district.

Figure 3: Location of FireFly Metals Green Bay Copper-Gold Project

Two styles of mineralisation are found on the Green Bay Gold Project :

  • Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) Mineralisation: Base metals (Cu, Zn, Pb) and precious metals (Au, Ag) deposited as massive sulphides on the sea floor with associated sub-sea floor sulphide stringers. Example deposits in Central Newfoundland include Ming mine (Figure 4) and Little Deer mine (both FireFly Metals 100%).

  • Orogenic Gold Mineralisation: Structurally controlled vein hosted mineralisation (Au-Ag dominated) formed during deformation that resulted from the collision of tectonic plates. Example deposits in Central Newfoundland include Queensway (TSX-listed New Found Gold) and Valentine Lake (TSX-listed Calibre). At FireFly’s Green Bay Project multiple orogenic gold veins are observed, many which cross-cut VMS mineralisation and are highly prospective.

The geology of the Baie Verte region (Figure 5) is dominated by rocks that formed during to the tectonic collision between ancestral North America and what is now Europe and Africa between 450 and 500 million years ago. All mineralisation in the Baie Verte district can trace its origin back to collision of these ancient continents.

The western part of the Baie Verte Peninsula contains sedimentary rocks that formed off the coast of ancestral North America. The eastern Baie Verte Peninsula contains remnants of the ocean floor and volcanic rocks that formed due to the subduction of the proto-North American tectonic plate beneath Gondwana. This oceanic subduction sequence hosts the highly prospective VMS mineralisation across FireFly’s Project area.

Ming Mine Mineralisation Model

FireFly’s Ming Mine deposit is amongst the largest of the VMS deposits in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is one of a cluster of mineralised deposits that are scattered across the Green Bay Copper Gold Project.

The mineralisation model for the Ming Mine as proposed by Pilote (2016) is shown in Figure 6.

Key Regional Target Locations

Detailed review of historical data has highlighted numerous exceptional geological targets for both base metal VMS and orogenic vein gold deposits. Key historical information reviewed to date includes historic drilling, soils samples, rock chip samples, geophysics and mapping.

Target generation is ongoing as new data is acquired by FireFly.

Ming & Rambler VMS District

The Green Bay VMS District is a defined by a series of related polymetallic (Cu-Au dominated) massive sulphide deposits located at the regional contact between felsic volcanics (rhyolite) and mafic volcanics (Figures 7 & 8). Five deposits have been mined historically in the Green Bay VMS District (Table 1).

FireFly owns all these historic mines, all of which are located within the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project (FFM 100%). All the historic mines are located within 25km of the Ming Mine which is FireFly’s main focus with current mineral resources of 30Mt at 2.1% CuEq.[1]

ASX FFM

Page | 11

==> picture [146 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

All these historic mines are shallow and were operated many decades ago, they have had minimal modern exploration and are considered immediate high priority targets for FireFly.

VMS District Target Highlights

The Green Bay VMS District provides a significant opportunity for new discoveries in addition to rapid resource growth. The nearby historical Rambler Main Mine (Figure 2), East Mine and Rambler Big Pond were mined to shallow depths (<300m) in the 1960s and 1970s. The mining activities in the camp ceased due commodity pricing and economic conditions. The mineralisation remains open at all the historic Rambler mining centres.

Furthermore, the VMS district has seen minimal investment in systematic regional-scale exploration in the past 30 years. Significant scientific advances, particularly in geophysical technology, provide opportunity to make new discoveries in the district.

FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

This announcement may contain certain forward-looking statements and projections, including statements regarding FireFly’s plans, forecasts and projections with respect to its mineral properties and programs. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this release reflect management’s current beliefs based upon information currently available to management and based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, such forward looking statements/projections are estimates for discussion purposes only and should not be relied upon. They are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors many of which are beyond the control of the Company. The forward-looking statements/projections are inherently uncertain and may therefore differ materially from results ultimately achieved. For example, there can be no assurance that FireFly will be able to confirm the presence of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves, that FireFly’s plans for development of its mineral properties will proceed, that any mineralisation will prove to be economic, or that a mine will be successfully developed on any of FireFly’s mineral properties. The performance of FireFly may be influenced by a number of factors which are outside the control of the Company, its directors, staff or contractors. The Company does not make any representations and provides no warranties concerning the accuracy of the projections, and disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward looking statements/projects based on new information, future events or otherwise except to the extent required by applicable laws.

  1. FireFly Metals Ltd cautions that mineral resources for the Green Bay Copper-Gold project, incorporating the Ming Deposit and Little Deer Complex, are not reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition); resources have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101. A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the foreign estimates in accordance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition) and it is uncertain that following evaluation and or further exploration that a foreign estimate will be able to be reported in according with the JORC Code. Please refer to ASX announcement dated 31 August 2023 for additional technical information relating to the foreign estimate.

  2. Mineral resources have been reported at a 1.0% copper cut-off grade.

  • In 1988, the property was awarded to the Rambler Joint Venture Group (a Consortium of Teck Exploration, Petromet Resources Ltd, and Newfoundland Exploration Company Ltd). Exploration consisted of ground geophysics and soil geochemistry, resulting in discovery of the Ming West deposit. Forty-eight diamond drill holes (25,534ft) were completed

  • Altius Minerals Corporation: Under the terms of an option to purchase agreement with Ming Minerals, Altius conducted exploration on the Rambler property in 2001, 2003, and 2004. In 2001, a lithogeochemical program was initiated to chemically fingerprint rocks of the hanging wall and footwall to the sulphide deposits.

• Rambler Metals and Mining PLC: Rambler Metals and Mining is a UK-based company listed on London’s Alternate Investment Market (AIM). Rambler held a 100% interest in the Ming property and between 2005 and 2023 and conducted a multi-phase diamond drilling program consisting of surface drilling, directional drilling, and underground delineation drilling. A total of 220,704m from 1,365 diamond drill holes were completed by Rambler. Between 2012 and 2022 the Ming mine produced 3Mt at 1.86% Cu and 0.71 Au for total of 55Kt of copper and 68Koz of gold. • The Ming mine was placed on care and maintenance in February 2023. • In October 2023, AuTECO Minerals (FireFly Metals) acquired the project from administration. • FireFly Metals conducted drilling to test down plunge extent of VMS lodes. • An underground exploration drive is in progress to allow further drilling at more favorable drill angles.

  • VMS mineralisation at the Little Deer Complex was first discovered in 1952 by Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. BRINEX completed further drilling, discovering the east lode with mining being conducted between 1965 and 1972.

  • Limited mining was undertaken in 1973-1974 by Green Bay Mining Co., however unfavourable economic conditions caused the mine to reclose

  • The property remained with limited exploration until 1998, when Mutapa Gold Corp conducted ~6,815m of drilling and downhole geophysics between 1998 and 2000.

drilling campaigns totalling ~58,000m and completed
VTEM, IP and downhole EM over the property.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and The Green Bay project is a Noranda-type Volcanogenic
style of mineralisation. Massive Sulfide (VMS) hosted by Cambrian-Ordovician
metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the
Pacquet Harbour Group. The style of mineralization,
alteration, host rock, and tectonism most closely
resembles other VMS deposits throughout the world.
The deposit consists of several individual massive
sulphide lens and their underlying stockwork zones. It is
thought that the stockwork zone represents the near
surface channel ways of a submarine hydrothermal
system and the massive sulphide lens represents the
accumulation of sulphides precipitated from the
hydrothermal solutions, on the sea floor, above and
around the discharge vent. The Ming deposits are
polymetallic (Cu, Au, Ag ± Zn) massive sulphides that
occur along the flank of a felsic dome. The Ming
deposits have undergone strong deformation and
upper greenschist to amphibolite facies
metamorphism. The massive sulphide bodies are now
thin and elongate down the plunge of the regional
lineation (30-35ºNE). Typical aspect ratios of length
down-plunge to width exceed 10:1, and the bodies
exhibit mild boudinage along the plunge. The foot wall
stringer zone comprises mainly of quartz-sericite-
chlorite schist, which hosts disseminated and stringer
pyrite and chalcopyrite with minor sphalerite, galena,
and pyrrhotite with locally significant gold contents
that could represent a discordant stockwork stringer
feeder zone. The mineralization is crosscut by younger
mafic dykes.
The East mine deposit shares the same geological
setting as the Ming mine and present similarities with
the Ming Lower foot wall stringer zone.
The Rambler main mine deposit is single VMS lens with
similarities to the Ming VMS lenses.
The Little Deer Complex is a Cu-rich Cyprus-type VMS
in the Newfoundland Appalachians.
