Exceptional infill drilling results support strategy to upgrade Resource ahead of expanded mining studies

Highly successful drilling campaign paves way for upgrades of Inferred Resources to Measured & Indicated Resources, which typically attract significantly higher comparative valuations

KEY POINTS

  • FireFly continues to generate strong infill drilling results as part of its multi-pronged strategy to create significant shareholder value over 2025

  • The Infill drilling program is a key plank of this growth strategy; It is aimed at upgrading Inferred Resources to Measured and Indicated category; These higher-confidence Resources typically attract increased valuations and can be used to help underpin mining studies, which in turn are designed to demonstrate the production and cashflow potential of the project, unlocking further value in the process

  • Drilling of the Massive Sulphide (VMS) lenses from the exploration drive continues to deliver high-grade intersections from copper-gold rich zones, including:

  • 14.2m @ 7.5% CuEq[1] (5.7% Cu & 2.0g/t Au) in hole MUG24-125 ( ~ true thickness )

  • o 9.0m @ 5.5% CuEq (4.5% Cu & 1.2g/t Au) in hole MUG24-106 ( ~ true thickness ) o 14.5m @ 4.6% CuEq (3.4% Cu & 1.3g/t Au) in hole MUG24-102 ( ~ true thickness ) o 19.0m @ 3.8% CuEq (2.9% Cu & 1.0g/t Au) in hole MUG24-114) ( ~ true thickness )

  • The broad Footwall stinger zone continues to demonstrate thick and consistent copper mineralisation, pointing to the potential for large-scale bulk mining. Intersections include:

  • 50.9m @ 2.6% CuEq (2.5% Cu & 0.2g/t Au) in hole MUG24-091 ( ~ true thickness )

  • 46.8m @ 2.2% CuEq (2.1% Cu & 0.2g/t Au) in hole MUG24-111 ( ~ true thickness )

  • 66.8m @ 2.1% CuEq (2.0% Cu & 0.1g/t Au) in hole MUG24-081 ( ~ true thickness )

  • 21.7m @ 2.7% CuEq (2.6% Cu & 0.1g/t Au) in hole MUG24-123 ( ~ true thickness )

  • o 42.8m @ 2.2% CuEq (2.1% Cu & 0.1g/t Au) in hole MUG24-084 ( ~ true thickness )

  • The latest infill drilling results further demonstrate the world-class potential of the Ming Mine at Green Bay and are expected to significantly increase the quantity of Measured and

1 Metal equivalent for drill results reported in this announcement have been calculated at a copper price of US$8,750/t, gold price of US$2,500/oz, silver price of US$25/oz and zinc price of US$2,500/t. Metallurgical recoveries have been set at 95% for copper, 85% for precious metals and 50% for zinc. CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + (Au(g/t) x 0.82190) + (Ag(g/t) x 0.00822) + (Zn(%) x 0.15038). In the opinion of the Company, all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be sold and recovered based on current market conditions, metallurgical test work, and historical performance achieved at the Green Bay project whilst in operation.

Indicated Resources in the next update (currently 24.4Mt at 1.9% CuEq Measured & Indicated Resource and 34.5Mt @ 2.0% CuEq Inferred Resource; see ASX announcement dated 29 October 2024 )

  • The infill drilling was conducted as part of FireFly’s extensive six-rig drill program; This is designed to create value by simultaneously extending known mineralisation, upgrading the Resource and making new discoveries

  • Further Infill drilling is planned for the recently discovered thick high-grade zone at the northern margins of the current Mineral Resource, which returned intersections including 86.3m @ 3.7% CuEq (see ASX announcement dated 10 December 2024)

  • Step-out drilling to test for high-grade down plunge extensions beyond the current Ming Resource continues; Additional assays are expected in coming weeks

  • Surface exploration drilling and geophysics is underway and will test high priority nearmine targets with first results anticipated in the June quarter

  • An additional underground rig is scheduled to commence in May, bringing the total to seven

  • FireFly has boosted its in-country management team with the appointment of highly accomplished technical specialist Jared Dietrich as Vice President – Metallurgy. He will play a pivotal role in the economic studies for upscaled production at Green Bay

  • The Company remains well-funded for its accelerated growth strategy with ~A$84.1M in cash, receivables and liquid investments at 31 December 2024

FireFly Managing Director Steve Parsons said: “These outstanding results show that our multipronged strategy for growth in 2025 is already working.

“There is substantial value to be created by converting our large inferred resource to measured and indicated due to the increased confidence level, the higher values typically assigned to these resources and the ability to demonstrate the production and cashflow potential at Green Bay. This is taking place in parallel with ongoing exploration drilling aimed at driving further growth in the total Resource.

“With six rigs turning and another set to start in May, Resource updates scheduled and mining studies to get underway, we have multiple sources of growth throughout 2025.”

FireFly Metals Ltd (ASX: FFM, TSX: FFM) ( Company or FireFly ) is pleased to announce further exceptional drilling results at the Green Bay copper-gold project.

There are two distinct styles of mineralisation at the Ming underground mine at Green Bay. One comprises the upper copper-gold rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ( VMS ) lenses. This sits above a broad copper stringer zone known as the Footwall Zone ( FWZ ).

Drilling from the 805 Exploration drive continues to demonstrate continuity of the high-grade copper-gold rich VMS mineralisation, with key intersections including 14.2m @ 7.5% CuEq , 14.5m @ 4.6% CuEq, 9.0m @ 5.5% CuEq and 19.0m @ 3.8% CuEq (~ true widths).

Infill drilling of the broad copper-rich zone exceeded expectations, with thick and continuous zones exceeding 2% copper routinely intersected. Highlights include 50.9m @ 2.6% CuEq , 46.8m @ 2.2% CuEq and 66.8m @ 2.1% CuEq (~ true widths).

These results are important because they highlight the potential for significant increases in the highly valuable Measured and Indicated ( M&I ) Resource which will form the basis for future economic studies into the upscaled resumption of production at the Ming Mine. The current Resource stands at 24.4Mt @ 1.9% CuEq M&I and a further 34.5Mt @ 2.0% CuEq in the Inferred category.

Furthermore, a surface rig is currently drilling high priority targets close to the Ming Mine. Closespaced ground geophysics is in progress, further defining electromagnetic anomalies generated by the lease-wide airborne VTEM survey conducted during 2024. The first drill assay results are likely to be received during the June 2025 quarter.

FireFly remains committed to accelerating its growth strategy. This comprises a combination of Resource growth, upgrading the current Resource and making new copper-gold discoveries. A total of six drill rigs are currently operating at Green Bay (five underground and one on surface). An additional underground rig is scheduled to arrive in May. Resource updates and preliminary economic mining studies are expected to be delivered later in 2025.

The Company remains well funded to achieve the accelerated growth strategy with ~A$84.1M in cash, receivables and liquid investments at the end of December 2024.

About the Drill Results

Drilling at the Ming underground copper-gold mine recommenced following the acquisition of the Green Bay copper-gold project by FireFly in October 2023. In total, the Company has completed ~67,000m of diamond core drilling to date from underground development.

Assays have been received for the first 138 holes drilled by FireFly. Logging and analysis of additional drill holes is ongoing, with details to be reported regularly as results are received.

There are two distinct styles of mineralisation present at the Green Bay Ming Mine, consisting of a series of upper copper-gold rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ( VMS ) lenses underlain by a broad copper stringer zone, known as the Footwall Zone ( FWZ ).

The Footwall Zone is extensive, with the stringer mineralisation observed over thicknesses of ~150m and widths exceeding 200m. The known strike of the mineralisation defined to date is 2.1km and it remains open down-plunge.

Forward Work Plan

Near-term drilling activities at the Green Bay copper-gold project will continue to focus on three key areas: Resource Growth , Upgrading the Resource (infill) and New Discoveries .

Infill drilling reported in this announcement continues to demonstrate continuous and consistent high-grade copper and gold mineralisation at the Ming mine. The infill drilling will contribute to the upgrading of the Inferred Resource (34.5Mt @ 2.0% CuEq) to the higher quality Measured and Indicated (M&I) Resource category, which currently stands at 24.4Mt @ 1.9% CuEq (see ASX announcement dated 29 October 2024). The higher confidence M&I Resource will form the basis of economic studies FireFly expects to complete in late 2025.

FireFly will continue with its low-cost rapid Resource growth strategy, with the underground exploration drill drive continuing to be extended to allow effective drill testing down plunge as well as discovery drilling utilising Down Hole Electromagnetics ( DHEM ) for new parallel and repeat lodes at the Ming deposit during 2025.

A fifth diamond drill rig has commenced underground. Due to the exceptional results achieved to date, the Company has decided to accelerate the drill program by contracting a sixth underground drill, which is anticipated to arrive at Green Bay in May 2025.

To date, ~67,000m of the planned 130,000m drill program has been completed. The remainder of the underground drill program for 2025 has three clear strategic components:

  • Resource extension: Test the down-plunge continuation of both the high-grade copper-gold VMS zones and the broad footwall copper stringer zone: ~35,000m of drilling ( Figure 3 );

  • Infill drilling: Create value through the conversion of inferred areas of the Resource to indicated for inclusion in future mining studies: ~35,000m of drilling; and

  • Discovery drilling: Drilling to explore for parallel high-grade VMS lodes and additional broad footwall stringer-style mineralisation and possible high grade ‘feeder’ zone style mineralisation within 600m of the underground infrastructure: ~10,000m of drilling. This includes near mine surface drilling.

Regional exploration is underway with a surface diamond drill currently testing high-priority targets close to the Ming mine. Drilling will initially focus on the historical mines within 5km of the Ming deposit that contain unmined intersections such as 25.0m @ 4.1% CuEq (4.7g/t gold and 0.23% copper). The first assay results are expected in the June quarter.

Furthermore, ground geophysical crews have been mobilised to validate multiple anomalies identified in the Company’s 2024 airborne VTEM geophysical survey. Geophysical work will also commence in the coming weeks at the Tilt Cove property that was acquired in December 2024.

Work on engineering studies continues to evaluate various scenarios for an up-scaled restart to operations, which will incorporate the expected 2025 Resource updates once finalised. With the huge success of the drilling programs to date, the Company does not want to limit the size of any future potential upscaled mining operation until it has completed the next phase of growth drilling.

FireFly is currently finalising, and proposes to submit within the coming weeks, a registration ( EA Registration ) with the Department of Environment and Climate Change in respect of the Green

Individual Resource grades for the metals are set out at Appendix A of this announcement. Copper equivalent was calculated based on the formula CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + (Au(g/t) x 0.82190) + (Ag(g/t) x 0.00822).

Metallurgical factors have been applied to the metal equivalent calculation. Copper recovery used was 95%. Historical production at the Ming Mine has a documented copper recovery of ~96%. Precious metal metallurgical recovery was assumed at 85% on the basis of historical recoveries

achieved at the Ming Mine in addition to historical metallurgical test work to increase precious metal recoveries.

In the opinion of the Company, all elements included in the metal equivalent calculations have a reasonable potential to be sold and recovered based on current market conditions, metallurgical test work, and historical performance achieved at the Green Bay project whilst in operation.

Mineral Resources Estimate – Pickle Crow Project

The Mineral Resource Estimate for the Pickle Crow Project referred to in this announcement was first reported in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 4 May 2023, titled “High-Grade Inferred Gold Resource Grows to 2.8Moz at 7.2g/t”.

Metal equivalents for Exploration Results

Metal equivalents for the exploration results have been calculated at a copper price of US$8,750/t, gold price of US$2,500/oz, silver price of US$25/oz and zinc price of US$2,500/t. Individual grades for the metals are set out at Appendix B of this announcement.

Metallurgical factors have been applied to the metal equivalent calculation. Copper recovery used was 95%. Historical production at the Ming Mine has a documented copper recovery of ~96%. Precious metal metallurgical recovery was assumed at 85% based on historical recoveries achieved at the Ming Mine in addition to historical metallurgical test work to increase recoveries. Zinc recovery is applied at 50% based on historical processing and potential upgrades to the mineral processing facility.

In the opinion of the Company, all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be sold and recovered based on current market conditions, metallurgical test work, and the Company’s operational experience.

Copper equivalent was calculated based on the formula CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + (Au(g/t) x 0.82190) + (Ag(g/t) x 0.00822) + (Zn(%) x 0.15038).

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 announcement 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 and 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 and 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, officers, employees or contractors. The Company does not make any representations and provides no warranties concerning the accuracy of any forward-looking statements or projections, and disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or projections based on new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable laws.

An airborne electromagnetic survey was flown
from 1955 to 1956.
The Ming Mine was discovered in 1970 by a
helicopter borne AEM system. A large low grade
stringer type copper deposit was later discovered
in the footwall 300ft to 500ft below the Ming
orebody during mining operations and delineated
by 36 diamond drill holes. Mining ceased at the
Ming Mine in 1982 because of low copper prices.
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. 48 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 litho-
geochemical 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 Ltd (now FireFly
Metals Ltd) acquired the project from the
administrator.

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
stock work 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
mineralisation is crosscut by younger mafic dykes.

Sample 1: Length - 0.5m; Grade - 1.8% Cu
Sample 2: Length - 0.75m; Grade – 0.08% Cu
Sample 3 Length – 1.05m; Grade – 2.02% Cu
Sample 4: Length – 1.05m; Grade – 2.42% Cu
Sum of Lengths / Intersection width - 3.35m
Intersection grade is:
((0.5x1.8) + (0.75x0.08) + (1.05x2.02) +

in a mining scenario, it is unlikely that this internal
dilution could be separated.
Metal equivalents for the drilling at the Green Bay
Project have been calculated at a copper price of
US$8,750/t, gold price of US$2,500/oz, silver price
of US$25/oz and zinc price of $2,500/t. Individual
grades for the metals are set out at Appendix B of
this announcement.
The following metallurgical recovery factors have
been applied to the calculation of metal
equivalents:
-
Copper: 95%
-
Gold/Silver: 85%
-
Zinc: 50%
Recovery factors applied are based on historical
processing of Ming ore at Nugget Pond and future
processing plant configurations based on
historical metallurgical test work.
It is the Company’s view that all elements in the
copper equivalent calculation have a reasonable
potential to be recovered and sold.
Copper equivalent was calculated based on the
formula CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + (Au(g/t) x 0.82190) +
(Ag(g/t) X 0.00822) + (Zn(%) x 0.15038)
