New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 35% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (35% increase in shares outstanding).

FireFly Metals Ltd Announces Major High-Grade Copper and Gold Exploration Breakthrough At Green Bay FireFly Metals Ltd. announced more exceptional drilling results which point to a high-grade mineralised core over a strike length of at least 800m at its Green Bay Copper-Gold Project in Canada. The emerging broad, high-grade copper and gold-rich zone appears to occur where the VMS and FWZ mineralization zones come together. This copper and gold rich zone within the main mineralised envelope continues over 800m strike and remains open with the furthest step out hole of 49.0m @ 6.1% CuEq (4.9% Cu & 1.3 Au) in hole MUG25-202 (39.2m true thickness), and includes an even higher-grade zone of 14.3m @ 13.7% CuEq. This is the furthest step-out hole to date, over 650m from the mineralization the subject of the previous Mineral Resource Estimate in October 2024. Recent drilling into the core trend confirms a zone in which the FWZ is well developed directly beneath the upper VMS leading to thick continuous high-grade intersections including 43.6m @ 7.6% CuEq. This included an exceptionally rich upper massive sulphide zone of 14.9m @ 16.0% CuEq (11.5% Cu & 5.0g/t Au). Importantly, a strong conductive DHEM anomaly extends a further 350m beyond this drill hole and points to the potential for future down-plunge extensions. Infill drilling continues to confirm the presence of strong and consistent mineralization in areas previously subject to wide-spaced drilling. Drilling of the upper high-grade copper and gold VMS lenses has returned exceptional intersections, including 16.0m @ 13.5% CuEq, 10.1m @ 9.2% CuEq and 4.1m @ 17.4% CuEq (all approximate true thickness). Additional drilling of the broad copper stringer FWZ continues to highlight thick zones of mineralization that are likely suitable for large-scale bulk mining. Infill intersections returned recently include exceptional results such as 82.8m @ 2.5% CuEq, 31.0m @ 5.0% CuEq and 22.0m @ 4.5% CuEq. Announcement • Oct 16
Firefly Metals Ltd Announces High-Grade Copper and Gold Intersections Extend Known Mineralisation At Green Bay by 650M FireFly Metals Ltd. announced exceptional drill results which extend the known mineralisation by more than 650m beyond the Mineral Resource at its Green Bay Copper-Gold Project. The furthest drillhole recently completed from the northern end of the 805L exploration drive intersected 49.0m @ 6.1% CuEq (~39.2m true thickness). The extensive six-rig underground drill campaign continues at the Ming Mine with the dual objectives of growing the current Mineral Resource and, most importantly, upgrading more of the Inferred Resources to the comparable more valuable Measured and Indicated (M&I) Mineral Resource categories. Key intersections include (All ~ true thickness): 14.1m @ 0.9% Cu, 3.2g/t Au, 11.9g/t Ag, 0.74% Zn (3.7% CuEq) from 567.1m (VMS-style) including: 1.8m @ 1.8% Cu, 15.9g/t Au, 39.4g/t Ag, 0.,78% Zn (15.2% CuEq) from five67.1m (V MS-style) including: 1.,8m @ 1.8m @ 1.,8% Cu, 15. 9g/t Au, 39.,4g/t Ag,0.78% Zn (15.,2% CuEq)from 567.1m, 4.4m @ 1.8%Cu, 2.8g/t Au, 18.9g/t Ag., 1.1% Zn (4.4% CuEq) from 674.1m, 27.0m @ 1.8% Co, 0.1g/t Au, 1.9g/t Ag), 0.08% Zn (1.9% CuEq) from 708.2m (FW Stringer-style) Forward Work Plans: Near-term drilling activities at the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project will continue to focus on three key areas: Upgrading the Mineral Resource (with infill drilling results), Mineral Resource Growth, and NewDiscoveries from both underground and surface. As at 11 October 2025, the Company had completed ~126,877m of underground diamond drilling. Development of additional platforms for further ongoing exploration and infill drilling will continue at Ming Mine throughout 2025. Upgrading the Mineral Resource Estimate remains a key priority for the Company's plans to resume upscaled mining at Green Bay. Infill drilling will upgrade 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.6 Based on results to date, it is likely that the amount of mineralisation classified as M&I will increase in the Mineral Resource Estimate update planned to be released later in the current quarter. FireFly has not adjusted assay data and is not aware of any adjustments made by Rambler to the assay data. WSP completed an independent audit in 2018 where a representative number of assay certificates were compared to digital assay database and no assay database and no assay results from this announcement showing the 650m step-out from the previously released October 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate. Key intersections include (All - true thickness): 14.1 m @ 0.9% CuEq): 14.1m @0.9% Cu, 3.,2g/t Au, 3.7g/t Ag, 0". Announcement • Sep 24

FireFly Metals Ltd Announces Extremely High-Grade Assays from Its Green Bay Copper-Gold Project FireFly Metals Ltd. announced extremely high-grade assays from its 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). An extensive eight-rig drill campaign is underway with the dual objectives of growing the current Mineral Resource and upgrading more of the Inferred Resources to the comparatively more valuable Measured and Indicated (M&I) categories. From the results in this announcement, the Company anticipates strong growth in the M&I portion of the Mineral Resource when it next releases the Mineral Resource Estimate later in 2025. This is important because the higher-confidence M&I categories of Mineral Resources will underpin upscaled mining studies scheduled for completion in early 2026. The current Mineral Resource stands at 24.4Mt @ 1.9% for 460Kt CuEq of M&I Resources and a further 34.5Mt @ 2.0% for 690Kt CuEq of Inferred Resources. Drilling continues to demonstrate continuity of the high-grade copper-gold rich VMS mineralisation, with key intersections including 11.6m @ 9.3% CuEq, 14.6m @ 6.7% CuEq, 14.9m @ 5.5% CuEq and 5.5m @ 7.1% CuEq (~ true widths). Infill drilling of the broad copper-rich zone repeatedly intersected thick and continuous zones exceeding 2% copper. Highlights include 26.2m @ 5.3% CuEq, 24.1m @ 3.7% CuEq and 9.5m @ 6.4% CuEq (~ true widths). The development of phase two of the 805 exploration drive has now been completed. Two drill rigs have been mobilised to the northern extent of the platform to test for extensions of mineralisation more than 400m beyond the extent of the current Mineral Resource. A second surface diamond drill rig is now on site to accelerate the regional discovery campaign. Both rigs will systematically test geophysical anomalies generated by the Company's airborne VTEM surveys. Further results from Rambler Main Mine are expected in the coming weeks following the initial intersections4 of 10m @ 6.4% CuEq (5.7g/t Au & 1.3% Cu) and 12.9m @ 4.3% CuEq (4.2g/t Au & 0.5% Cu). Engineering studies into the resumption of upscaled production from the Ming Mine are well underway. Sector-leading consultants including Entech Mining, Ausenco and Stantec have been engaged to contribute to the studies. Comprehensive metallurgical test results completed by the Company are expected in the coming weeks. In March 2025, FireFly submitted a registration document (EA Registration) with the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Environment and Climate Change for environmental assessment of the upscaled Green Bay Copper-Gold Project. Following review of the upscaled Green Bay project by both Provincial and Federal regulators, the Company has been notified by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador that no further detailed environmental or socio-economic assessment is required for the upscaled project to proceed. This conditional release from further environmental assessment will enable the Company to apply for permits to commence early works and construction. FireFly is well funded to accelerate its growth campaign and engineering studies with a recent well supported equity raising which has strengthened the Company's balance sheet, with anticipated cash and liquid investments of ~AUD 145 million, subject to receiving shareholder approval of the issue of securities for the second tranche of the Institutional Placement6 for net proceeds of ~$26.6 million. 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 ~99,700m of underground diamond drilling to 30 June 2025. Assays have been received for 192 underground holes drilled by FireFly. Logging and analysis of additional drill holes is ongoing, with details to be reported regularly as results are received. This announcement contains the results of 59 drill holes. The drilling reported is predominantly infill drilling as well as drilling of holes targeting the lateral margins of the mineralisation. 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).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 33% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 33% per year over the past 5 years.

Firefly Metals Ltd. Announces First Drilling in New Area Hits High-Grade VMS Mineralisation FireFly Metals Ltd. announced that the company's first drilling in new area hits high-grade VMS mineralisation. The exceptional results highlight potential for a repeat of the Green Bay Project's high grade large scale Ming Mine. FireFly's maiden drilling program at the historical Rambler Main Mine within Green Bay has returned high-grade gold-copper-zinc intersections. Initial drilling targeted down-plunge extensions, with the first two drill holes returning exceptional intersections of: 10.0m @ 6.4% CuEq(5.7g/t Au, 1.3% Cu, 1.7% Zn & 20.9g/t Ag) in hole FFR25-001 (approximately true thickness); 12.9m @ 4.3% CuEq (4.2g/t Au,0.5% Cu, 1.5% Zn & 10.9g/t Ag). These step-out holes have extended the known mineralisation more than 200m beyond the limit of historical mining and it remains open down plunge. The results show Rambler Main shares many 'look-alike' features with the rich Ming Mine approximately 2km away, including the nature of the down-plunge extension from historical mining and the fact that the mineralisation remains open. This mineralisation at Rambler Main is also part of the same camp-scale Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) system that formed the Ming deposit with the mineralisation located on the same geological contact. Given the strength of these results and the key similarities with Ming, there is clearly potential for Rambler Main to be an important source of Mineral Resource growth at Green Bay. A similar surface drilling program has also been conducted at the nearby historical East Mine, with results expected soon. The surface drill rig is now back at Rambler Main testing for further depth extensions of the gold-copper-z Inc. These programs are aimed at growing the overall Mineral Resource by unlocking the camp-scale potential at Green Bay. Rambler Main was mined to 200m below surface between 1964 and 1967, with historical records indicating production of 440kt @ 1.3% copper, 4.7g/t gold and 2.2% zinc. The Green Bay Mineral Resource Estimate stands at 24.4Mt at 1.9% CuEq Measured & Indicated Resource and 34.5Mt at 2.0% CuEq Inferred Resource; see ASX announcement dated 29 October 2024. The Company remains well funded for its accelerated growth strategy with CAD 68.5 million in cash, receivables and liquid investments at 31 March 2025. The value of any Mineral Resource additions close to the Ming Mine is enhanced by the potential to share infrastructure, with economic studies into the upscaled restart of operations in progress and expected for completion later in 2025. The surface exploration campaign is in full swing with assays pending for drilling completed recently at the nearby historical East Mine. The drill rig has now returned to the Rambler Main mine, with deeper step-out drilling underway to test for further extensions. Significant assay results are presented in Appendix B of this announcement. Announcement • May 07
Firefly Metals Ltd. Announces Green Bay Copper-Gold Project, Canada FireFly Metals Ltd. announced that it plans to accelerate underground drilling ahead of mining studies with a sixth underground rig due on site in late May. 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 ~79,200m of diamond core drilling to date from underground development. Resource Extension Drilling from the 805L Exploration Drive: Drilling from the northern section of the 805L drill drive has to date focused on extensional drilling outside of the current Mineral Resource, which currently stands at 24.4Mt at 1.9% CuEq Measured & Indicated Resource and 34.5Mt at 2.0% CuEq Inferred Resource. Near-term drilling activities at the Green Bay Copper- Gold Project will continue to focus on three key areas: Mineral Resource Growth, Upgrading the Mineral Resource (infill) and NewDiscoveries. Step-out drilling reported in this announcement demonstrates the growth potential at Ming Mine, with mineralisation now confirmed more than 200m from the limits of the current Mineral Resource. During 2025, FireFly will continue with its low-cost rapid Mineral 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. 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 late May 2025. To date, ~79,200m of the planned 130,000m drill program has been completed. The remainder of the underground drill program for 2025 has three clear strategic components: Mineral 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; Work on engineering studies continues to evaluate various scenarios for an up-scaled restart to operations, which will incorporate the expected 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate 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 up-scaled mining operation until it has completed the next phase of growth drilling. The Green Bay Copper-Gold Project currently hosts a Mineral Resource prepared in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code 2012) and Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) of 24.4Mt of Measured and Indicated Resources at 1.9% for 460Kt CuEq and 34.5Mt of Inferred Resources at 2% for 690Kt CuEq. The Company has a clear strategy to rapidly grow the copper-gold Mineral Resource to demonstrate a globally significant copper-gold asset. FireFly has commenced a 130,000m diamond drilling program. Announcement • Feb 12
Firefly Metals Ltd Announces Further Exceptional Drilling Results at the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project FireFly's six-rig drilling campaign at Green Bay continues to generate extremely high-grade results. The latest results support the strategy to create value by extending the known mineralisation, upgrading Inferred Resources to the more valuable Measured & Indicated categories and making new discoveries; This is aimed at establishing a global-scale project in a tier-one location, in turn aiming for further share price re-rating. The latest exceptional assays from drilling at the Ming Mine within the Green Bay Project will form part of the next Mineral Resource update (currently 24.4Mt at 1.9% CuEq Measured & Indicated Resource and 34.5Mt @ 2% CuEq Inferred Resource; see ASX announcement 29 October 2024). There are two distinct styles of mineralisation at Ming; upper copper-gold rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide lenses above a broad copper footwall stringer zone ('FWZ') Drilling from the 805 exploration drive continues to deliver high-grade intersections from the copper-gold VMS, including (true thickness): 10.7m @ 12.2% CuEq (9.0% Cu & 3.9g/t Au) in hole MUG24-095; 17.3m @ 7.4% CuEq (7.0% Cu & 0.4g/t Au) in holes MUG24-089; 12.5m @ 4.2% Cu & 2.6g/t Au) in Hole MUG24-089; 2.3m @ 12.4% CuEq1 (8.2% Cu & 4.9g/t Au). Drilling on the northern margins of the Mineral Resource continues to return thick and consistent drill intersections which confirm strong FWZ mineralisation directly below the high-grade VMS: 58.2m @ 3.1% CuEq (2.4% Cu & 0.7g/t Au) inhole MUG24-083(true thickness). Intersection includes a distinct VMS lode grading 5.0m @ 6.7% CuEq above a broad copper FWZ intersection with internal high-grade zones including 9.2m @ 5.0% CuEq and 5.2m @ 3.3% CuEq. The intersection in hole MUG24-083 is directly along strike of previously-reported thick high-grade intersections: 86.3m @ 3.7% CuEq (3.1% Cu & 0.6g/t Au). 76.3m @ 2.9% CuEq (2". Importantly these intersections conclusively prove that previously reported downhole EM geophysical anomalism is associated with copper and gold mineralisation. Infill drilling has commenced with the aim of creating value by converting Inferred Resources to the Measured and Indicated categories for inclusion in future mining studies. A fifth underground drill rig is currently being mobilized to site to fast-track drilling; Downhole geophysics is ongoing; Surface exploration drilling is underway using the sixth rig and will test high priority near mine targets with first results anticipated in the March quarter; The Company remains well funded for its accelerated growth strategy with $84.1 million in cash, receivables and liquid investments at 31 December 2024. Near-term drilling activities at the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project will continue to focus on three key areas: Mineral Resource Growth, Upgrading the Mineral Resource (infill) and NewDiscoveries. Drilling reported in this announcement confirms strong continuity of mineralisation at the Ming Mine. Breakeven Date Change • Jan 07
