Concurrently with the Equity Raising, FireFly is also offering Eligible Shareholders (defined below) the opportunity to participate in a non-underwritten Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to raise up to an additional A$5,000,000 before costs (with the ability to accept oversubscriptions, at the discretion of the Company).

Charity Flow-Through Placement 

The Company has received firm commitments under the Charity Flow-Through Placement to raise approximately C$10.0 million (~A$11.2 million)¹, before costs, through the issue of approximately 7.6 million New Shares at an issue price of approximately C$1.32 (A$1.49) per New Share (Flow-Through Shares) to be issued as Canadian "flow-through shares", which provide tax incentives to those investors for certain exploration expenditures that qualify under the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Pursuant to a block trade agreement between PearTree Securities Inc. (PearTree) and Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited (Canaccord Genuity), Canaccord Genuity will facilitate the secondary sale of the Flow-Through Shares acquired by PearTree clients under the Charity Flow-Through Placement to sophisticated and professional investors by way of a block trade at A$0.96 per Flow-Through Share.

The tax benefits associated with the Flow-Through Shares are available only to the initial investors (who are Canadian residents) and not to any other person who acquires the Flow-Through Shares through the on-sale or transfer of those Flow-Through Shares.

The Flow-Through Shares will be issued under the Company's existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Settlement of the New Shares under the Charity Flow-Through Placement is expected to occur on 13 June 2025 (followed by the block trade). The Flow-Through Shares will rank equally with the Company's existing ordinary shares on issue.

A transaction specific prospectus under section 713 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) will be issued in connection with the Charity Flow-Through Placement to facilitate secondary trading of the New Shares the subject of the Charity Flow-Through Placement.

The Charity Flow-Through Placement has been facilitated by Canadian flow-through share exempt market dealer, PearTree, pursuant to a subscription and renunciation agreement with the Company. PearTree will not receive any fees or commission from the Company for its role with respect to the Charity Flow-Through Placement.

Institutional Placement

The Company has received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors under the Institutional Placement to raise approximately A$54.9 million (before costs) through the issue of approximately 57.2 million New Shares at an issue price of A$0.96 per New Share (Placement Shares).

• 29.2 million New Shares to raise approximately A$28.0 million (before costs), subject to receipt of shareholder approval at a general meeting expected to be held in mid-July 2025 (T2 Placement Shares).

COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS

Mineral Resources Estimate – Green Bay Project

The Mineral Resource Estimate for the Green Bay Project referred to in this announcement and set out at Appendix A was first reported in the Company's ASX announcement dated 29 October 2024, titled "Resource increases 42% to 1.2Mt of contained metal at 2% Copper Eq" and is also set out in the Technical Reports for the Ming Copper Gold Mine, titled "National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report, FireFly Metals Ltd., Ming Copper-Gold Project, Newfoundland" with an effective date of November 29, 2024 and the Little Deer Copper Project, titled "Technical Report and Updated Mineral Resource Estimate of the Little Deer Complex Copper Deposits, Newfoundland, Canada" with an effective date of June 26, 2024, each of which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource Estimate in the original announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Metal equivalents for the Mineral Resource Estimate mineralisation have been calculated at a copper price of US$8,750/t, gold price of US$2,500/oz and silver price of US$25/oz. Individual Mineral 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" and is also set out in the Technical Report for the Pickle Crow Project, titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate Pickle Crow Gold Project, Ontario, Canada" with an effective date of November 29, 2024 available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource Estimate in the original announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

COMPETENT PERSON / QUALIFIED PERSON

All technical and scientific information in this announcement has been reviewed and approved by Group Chief Geologist, Mr Juan Gutierrez BSc, Geology (Masters), Geostatistics (Postgraduate Diploma), who is a Member and Chartered Professional of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This announcement may contain certain forward-looking statements and projections, including statements regarding the Equity Raising, the SPP, and FireFly's plans, forecasts and projections with respect to its mineral properties and programs, including the use of proceeds of the Equity Raising and SPP and the completion and expected closings of the Equity Raising and SPP. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "may", "might", "could", "would", "will", "expect", "intend", "believe", "forecast", "milestone", "objective", "predict", "plan", "scheduled", "estimate", "anticipate", "continue", or other similar words and may include, without limitation, statements regarding plans, strategies and objectives.

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 only and should not be relied upon.
