FireFly's Green Bay Momentum Builds as ASX 200 Junior Targets Major Copper-Gold Upside

Highlights

• FireFly (FFM) ramps up drilling at Green Bay with strong copper-gold results
• Resource growth and mining studies to drive a pivotal 2025
• Well-funded with A$59.1M in cash and clear strategic focus

FireFly Metals Ltd (ASX:FFM) is accelerating its journey toward large-scale operations at its flagship Green Bay Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland, Canada. With six drill rigs now turning and a seventh expected to arrive in May, the company has made significant strides in resource expansion and project development—positioning itself firmly on the radar of investors tracking rising names in the S&P/ASX 200 landscape.

Strong Drilling Outcomes Fuel Optimism

Recent drilling at Green Bay has returned impressive results from both the volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) and footwall stringer zones, showcasing the scale and continuity of the mineralised system. Standout intercepts include 14.2 metres at 7.5% copper equivalent (CuEq), 10.7 metres at 12.2% CuEq, and 66.8 metres at 2.1% CuEq. These high-grade zones extend the known mineralisation and hint at even greater depth potential.

The company has completed 69,000 metres of its planned 130,000-metre drilling campaign, with infill drilling set to convert inferred resources into higher-confidence measured and indicated categories. These efforts will directly feed into upcoming mining studies, with updates expected in Q3 and Q4 of 2025.

Targeting Growth on All Fronts

FireFly’s strategic roadmap is anchored by three key pillars: growing the overall resource, upgrading the existing resource base, and identifying new discoveries. The broader Green Bay Mineral Resource now stands at 24.4 million tonnes at 1.9% CuEq (measured and indicated) and 34.5 million tonnes at 2.0% CuEq (inferred).

The company is also advancing surface exploration near the historic Ming mine, while geophysical crews follow up on new targets identified during a 2024 airborne VTEM survey.

Financial Strength Supports Long-Term Vision

As of 31 March 2025, FireFly remained well-capitalised, holding A$59.1 million in cash and liquid assets. Exploration and development expenditures stood at A$13.2 million for the quarter, with an additional A$3.0 million in operating outflows. This financial position allows the company to aggressively pursue its development and growth plans into 2025.

Meanwhile, strategic assessments are in progress for the 70%-owned Pickle Crow Gold Project, where FireFly is exploring value realisation opportunities.

With robust drilling outcomes, a strong balance sheet, and a focus on scaling operations in a tier-one jurisdiction, FireFly (FFM) stands out as a compelling copper-gold growth story. For those monitoring ASX dividend stocks and emerging players within the Australian mining sector, FireFly’s trajectory is one to watch closely.
