COVER SHEET FOR AMENDED RELEASE
Surefire Resources NL (ASX: SRN) made an announcement earlier today in relation to its Phat Boy Maiden Drill Programme at its 100% owned Yidby East project in the mid-west of Western Australia.
Pursuant to requests made by ASX, additional information in relation to plates 1 and 2, and a cautionary statement that "visual estimates should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where metal concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest" have been included.
Authorised for release to ASX by Paul Burton, Managing Director.

AMENDED RELEASE SUREFIRE COMPLETES MAIDEN DRILLING PROGRAM AT PHAT BOY COPPER PROSPECT
Approximately 50m of disseminated and blebby sulphides intersected in volcanics _______________________________________________________________________________________________
Australian resource company Surefire Resources NL (ASX: SRN) ("SRN" or the "Company") is pleased to advise it has completed the maiden drilling program at the Company's Phat Boy Copper prospect at its 100% owned Yidby East project in the mid-west of Western Australia.
The drilling intersected a sequence of dark volcanic clays followed by disseminated sulphides in black volcanic fresh rock beneath the anomalous copper and zinc soil geochemical anomalous zones. The drilling included approximately 50m of continuous disseminated sulphides in veins, with occasional sulphide blebs, (visual estimate up to 1-2% sulphide abundance) within black volcanic rock (see plates 1,2, table 1).

| Drill Hole | From | To | Sulphides observed | Sulphide Abundance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PBRC011 | 53m | 96m | Pyrite, Chalcopyrite(?), Molybdenum (?) | up to 1% to 2% (estimate) |

Cautionary statement: Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations.
Background
The Phat Boy prospect is located on the southern portion of E59/2426 (see Figure 1), where previous exploration highlighted native copper and sulphides within a package of interpreted submarine volcanic rocks.
Surefire carried out detailed soil sampling in August and September 2024 which revealed 4 distinct geochemical zones of coincident copper and zinc anomalism, (refer ASX announcement 5 September 2024 and ASX announcement 17 September 2024), and Figure 2.
The Company submitted a Program of Works (PoW) to the West Australian Department of Energy Mines Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) for an initial RC (Reverse Circulation) drilling program which was subsequently approved (see ASX announcement 9 October 2024).
Drill programme
The maiden drill programme involved the completion of a total of 11 shallow RC holes for 672m over the 4 target areas (see Figure 2). The drilling was aimed at testing the near surface geochemical anomalies only as no geophysics has yet been undertaken. The geology observed was dark volcanic clays followed by fresh black volcanic rocks. Numerous sulphides were observed. It was noted that the specific gravity of the rock sample increased significantly where these occurred.
All samples will be transported to the laboratory for XRF analysis, including copper, cobalt, molybdenum, and also for rare-earth elements (REE) analyses. Results are expected within the next few weeks subject to laboratory schedules.
