TORONTO - FireFly Metals Ltd (ASX: FFM, TSX: FFM) (Company or FireFly) is pleased to advise that it has doubled the size of its recently-announced share purchase plan (SPP) to A$10 million, in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus released to ASX on 9 December 2025.
The decision followed extremely strong demand for the SPP and reflects the Company's commitment to its supportive retail shareholders.
Applications under the SPP, which closed at 5.00pm (AWST) on Friday, 19 December 2025 (Closing Date), totalled approximately A$31 million, and greatly exceeded the original A$5 million target announced on 2 December 2025.
The SPP was open to 5,826 eligible shareholders. The Company received valid applications from 1,558 eligible shareholders (including custodian level applications), representing a participation rate of approximately 27% and an average application amount of approximately A$19,383.
The SPP was undertaken concurrently with the Company's A$139 million equity raising that comprised the following aspects (together, the Equity Raising): A$85.0 million (C$77.8 million)2 institutional placement at a price of A$1.70 per share (Institutional Placement), which completed on 12 December 2025; C$34.5 million (A$37.7 million)2 Canadian bought deal offering at a price of C$1.56 per share (Canadian Offering), which completed on 17 December 2025 and A$16.4 million (C$15.0 million)3 charity flow-through placement to Canadian investors priced at approximately A$2.09 per share (Charity Flow-Through Placement), which completed on 11 December 2025.
The proceeds of the Equity Raising and SPP will be used primarily to continue growing and upgrading the mineral resource at FireFly's Green Bay Copper Gold Project as well for underground development, pre-construction works, mining studies and working capital.
FireFly Managing Director Steve Parsons said: 'We are delighted to have received such strong demand for the SPP. This reflects the outstanding upside at Green Bay and our aggressive strategy to continue creating value by using nine rigs.
'We have taken the opportunity to reward our loyal retail shareholders by doubling the total SPP provision to A$10m, increasing their ability to secure further exposure to this growth potential.
'There are several key planks to our strategy for 2026, including growing and upgrading the resource and progressing economic studies, all of which are aimed at maximising the huge opportunity we have at Green Bay.'
SPP Details
The strong interest in the SPP required the Company to scale back valid applications. The scale back methodology implemented was designed to provide an equitable outcome for shareholders to limit dilution relative to their shareholding at the Closing Date and, for applications from Custodians, at the record date of 5.00pm (AWST) on Monday, 1 December 2025 (Record Date).
The scale back was undertaken primarily as follows
To provide the most equitable outcome to the largest number of shareholders, the Company did not accept applications from ineligible shareholders or duplicate applications from multiple holders with the same name.
Excess application money resulting from the scale back will be refunded to shareholders, without interest, by direct credit deposit to their nominated bank account or by cheque paid in Australian dollars (Australian eligible shareholders only).
A total of 5,881,744 new fully paid ordinary shares (New Shares) will be issued on Tuesday, 30 December 2025 under the SPP and are expected to trade from Wednesday, 31 December 2025.
Holding statements reflecting the issue of the New Shares will be despatched within five business days following 31 December 2025, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. The Company recommends shareholders confirm their actual holding prior to trading in New Shares under the SPP.
