Cautionary Statements
This document contains information from the Nifty Scoping Study. The Scoping Study was undertaken for the purposes of demonstrating the business case to support the recommencement of surface mining and copper concentrator operations at the Nifty Copper Operation. It
is a preliminary technical and economic study of the potential viability of the Nifty Copper Operation. It is based on low-level technical and economic assessments that are not sufficient to support the estimation of ore reserves. A level of accuracy of +/-30% is applicable in
accordance with Scoping level accuracy. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required before Cyprium will be in a position to estimate any ore reserves or to provide any assurance of an economic development case. The project economics in this Study are
derived solely from the mining and processing of Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources. The small amount of Inferred Mineral Resources mined is treated as mineralised waste and does not contribute to the project economics. The Scoping Study is basedon the material
assumptions as detailed in the ASX announcement dated 23/5/24.
References to Mineral Resources
The information in this announcement that relates to Mineral Resources for Nifty was previously reported by the Company in its announcements dated 14 March 2024 and 19 August 2024. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially
affects the information included in those market announcements and, in the case of Mineral Resources, all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and
context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.
