DISCLAIMER & CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
This presentation has been prepared by FireFly Metals Limited (the Company ) based on information from its own and third party sources and is not a disclosure document. No party other than the Company has authorised or caused the issue, lodgement, submission, dispatch or provision of this presentation, or takes any responsibility for, or makes or purports to make any statements, representations or undertakings in this presentation. Except for any liability that cannot be excluded by law, the Company and its related bodies corporate, directors, employees, servants, advisers and agents disclaim and accept no responsibility or liability for any expenses, losses, damages or costs incurred by you relating in any way to this presentation including, without limitation, the information contained in or provided in connection with it, any errors or omissions from it however caused, lack of accuracy, completeness, currency or reliability or you or any other person placing any reliance on this presentation, its accuracy, completeness, currency or reliability. This presentation is not a prospectus, disclosure document or other offering document under Australian law or under any other law. It is provided for information purposes and is not an invitation nor offer of shares or recommendation for subscription, purchase or sale in any jurisdiction. This presentation does not purport to contain all the information that a prospective investor may require in connection with any potential investment in the Company. Each recipient must make its own independent assessment of the Company before acquiring any shares in the Company ( Shares ). The Company has made reference to historic drilling and exploration results from a variety of exploration companies over the past 60 years that had previously explored the Project. References to previous announcements should be read in conjunction with this release. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in this presentation.
NO NEW INFORMATION OR DATA – PICKLE CROW AND GREEN BAY PROJECT
This presentation contains references to Mineral Resource Estimate at the Pickle Crow Project which have been extracted from the Company’s ASX announcement dated 4 May 2023, titled "High-Grade Inferred Gold Resource Grows to 2.8Moz at 7.2g/t". All future references in this presentation that relate to the Mineral Resource Estimate at the Pickle Crow Project should be read in conjunction with the aforementioned ASX release. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that ASX announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource Estimate (Inferred Resource – 11.9 Mt @ 7.2 g/t gold for 2.8M ounces of gold) in that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
The Company first announced the foreign estimate for the Green Bay Project on 31 August 2023. The current foreign estimate for the Green Bay project is 39.2Mt @ 1.83%Cu, 0.3g/t Au and 2.7g/t Ag for 811kt CuEq. The foreign estimate is prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and has not been reported in accordance with JORC 2012. A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the foreign estimate as a mineral resource in accordance with JORC 2012 and it is uncertain that following further evaluation and exploration work that the foreign estimate will be able to be reported as a mineral resource under the JORC Code 2012. The Company confirms that it is not in possession of any new information or data relating to the foreign estimate that materially impacts on the reliability of the estimate or the Company's ability to verify the foreign estimate in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. The Company confirms the supporting information provided in the initial market announcement referred to in Listing Rule 5.12 continues to apply and has not materially changed.
Metal equivalents have been calculated using a copper price of US$8,295/t, gold price of US$1,912/oz and a silver price of US$22.59/oz. Individual grades for the metals are set out at Appendix 10 of this announcement. Copper equivalent was calculated based on the formula CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + (0.74112 x Au(g/t)) + (0.00876 x Ag(g/t). No metallurgical recovery factors have been applied to the in-situ resource or exploration results. It is the Company’s view that all elements in the copper equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
This presentation also contains references to certain Exploration Results that were first reported in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.7 in the Company's announcements of 28/01/2020, 26/03/2020, 01/09/2020, 11/11/2020, 19/01/2021, 7/04/2021, 16/06/2021, 15/07/2021, 2/08/2021, 5/10/2021, 2/12/2021, 18/1/2022, 3/5/2022, 23/6/2022, 22/11/2022, 24/1/2023, 31/8/2023, 11/12/2023, 16/1/2024, 4/3/2024 & 21/3/2024. FireFly Metals confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original announcements. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons’ findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcements.

Drilling metal equivalents have been calculated at a copper price of US$8,300/t, gold price of US$2,000/oz, silver price of US$25/oz and zinc price of US$2,500/t. Copper equivalent was calculated based on the formula CuEq (%) = Cu(%) + (Au (g/t) x 0.77472) + (Ag (g/t) x 0.00968) + (Zn (%) x 0.3012). No metallurgical recovery factors have been applied to the calculation. All elements included in the calculation have a reasonable probability of being recovered and sold.

For further details refer to FireFly ASX announcement dated August 31, 2023. Prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101. The estimate is a foreign estimate and has not been reported in accordance with JORC 2012. A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the foreign estimate as a mineral resource in accordance with JORC 2012 and it is uncertain that following further evaluation and exploration work that the foreign estimate will be able to be reported as a mineral resource under the JORC Code 2012. Metal equivalents calculated using a copper price of US$8,295/t, gold price of US$1,912/oz and a silver price of US$22.59/oz. Copper equivalent was calculated based on the formula CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + (0.74112 x Au(g/t)) + (0.00876 x Ag(g/t). No metallurgical recovery factors have been applied to the in-situ resource. It is the Company’s view that all elements in the copper equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
