FireFly Metals Limited (ASX:FFM) is an emerging copper-gold company and is making significant progress in developing its Green Bay Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland, Canada. The company has a clear strategy to convert Inferred Resources into Measured and Indicated categories, thereby increasing the economic potential of its projects. Ongoing regional drilling and exploration initiatives aim to uncover high-grade mineralised zones, which is expected to boost the project’s long-term value and position FFM for future growth.

Encouraging Drilling Results at Green Bay

On 25 March 2025, FireFly Metals provided an update on its drilling activities at the Green Bay project. The results from drilling the Massive Sulphide (VMS) lenses have been promising, with high-grade intersections confirming the presence of copper and gold-rich zones. These findings set the stage for upgrading existing resources. Additionally, the company has outlined plans for further infill drilling to assess a newly discovered thick, high-grade mineralised zone at the northern margins of the current resource.

Financial Performance in 1HFY25

For the half-year ended 31 December 2024 (1HFY25), FireFly Metals reported other income of AUD 2.87 million (up 1173% YoY), driven by maritime investment gains, flow-through share premiums, and asset sales from the Green Bay project.

The company’s loss after income tax narrowed to AUD 5.73 million, a notable improvement from AUD 15.52 million in the previous period. Additionally, FireFly Metals bolstered its cash position, reporting AUD 76.02 million in cash and cash equivalents, largely supported by AUD 69.3 million in net proceeds from a share placement and purchase plan.

Outlook

The company plans to focus on upgrading resources through additional drilling, while regional exploration initiatives will leverage surface drilling and geophysical surveys to identify new high-priority prospects.

The Green Bay project’s upcoming mining studies are expected to confirm its viability as a large-scale, long-life copper-gold asset.
