Mineral Resource Estimate – Green Bay Copper-Gold Project
The combined Mineral Resource Estimate for the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project referred to in this announcement and set out in Appendix A was first reported in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 25 August 2026, titled ‘Green Bay Copper-Gold Project, Canada Preliminary Economic Assessment and Mineral Resource Update.’
asserted
Estimate → refer → announcement
Mineral Resource Estimate – Little Deer
The Mineral Resource Estimate for Little Deer referred to in this announcement 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.’
asserted
Resource → refer → Eq
Metal equivalents for Mineral Resource Estimates
Metal equivalents for the combined Green Bay Copper-Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate have been calculated at a copper price of US$10,626/t, gold price of US$3,587/oz and silver price of US$50.22/oz.
asserted
equivalents → combine → oz
Metal equivalents for the Little Deer Mineral Resource Estimate 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.
asserted
equivalents → calculate → 25
Individual Mineral Resource grades for the metals are set out in Appendix A of this announcement.
asserted
grades → set → announcement
Metallurgical factors have been applied to the metal equivalent calculation.
asserted
factors → apply → calculation
Copper recovery used was 95%.
asserted
recovery → use → ?
Historical production at the Ming Mine has a documented copper recovery of ~96%.
asserted
production → have → %
Precious metal (gold and silver) metallurgical recovery was assumed at 85% based on historical recoveries achieved at the Ming Mine in addition to historical metallurgical test work to increase precious metal recoveries.
asserted
recovery → assume → recoveries
In the opinion of the Company, all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold on the basis of current market conditions, metallurgical test work, the Company’s operational experience and, where relevant, historical performance achieved at the Green Bay project whilst in operation.
asserted
elements → include → operation
Copper equivalent for the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project was calculated based on the formula:
CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + (Au(g/t) x 0.97106) + (Ag(g/t) x 0.01360).
asserted
equivalent → calculate → formula
Copper equivalent at Little Deer was calculated based on the formula:
CuEq(%) = Cu(%) + (Au(g/t) x 0.82190) + (Ag(g/t) x 0.00822).
asserted
equivalent → calculate → formula
Original Announcements
FireFly confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original announcements referred to or cross-referenced in this announcement and that, in the case of Mineral Resource Estimates, all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource Estimates in the original announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed.
asserted
assumptions → confirm → announcements
The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons’ and Qualified Persons’ findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcements.
