Not An Offer: This Presentation is for information purposes and is not, and does not purport to be, a prospectus, product disclosure statement or any other offering document under Australian law or the law of any other jurisdiction (and will not be lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments
Commission (“ASIC”) or any foreign regulator). The information does not and will not constitute or form part of an offer, invitation, solicitation or recommendation in relation to the subscription, purchase or sale of securities in any jurisdiction and neither this Presentation nor anything in it shall form any part of
any contract for the acquisition of Cyprium shares. The distribution of this Presentation in jurisdictions outside Australia may be restricted by law and you should observe any such restrictions.
Not Investment Or Financial Product Advice: This Presentation does not constitute financial product, investment, legal, taxation, accounting or other advice and is not intended to be used or relied upon as the basis for making an investment decision. This Presentation is not a recommendation by Cyprium
or its advisers to acquire Cyprium shares or New Shares. This Presentation has been prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of individuals. Before making an investment decision, prospective investors should consider the appropriateness of the information having
regard to their own objectives, financial situation and needs and seek financial, legal and taxation advice appropriate to their jurisdiction. Cyprium is not licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of Cyprium shares.
Effect of Rounding: A number of figures, amounts, percentages, estimates, calculations of value and fractions in this Presentation are subject to the effect of rounding. Accordingly, the actual calculation of these figures may differ from the figures set out in this Presentation.
Past Performance: Past performance information, including past share price performance of Cyprium and pro forma financial information, given in this Presentation is given for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as (and is not) an indication of Cyprium’s (or anyone else’s) views on
Cyprium’s future financial performance or condition. Past performance of Cyprium cannot be relied upon as an indicator of (and provides no guidance as to) the future performance of Cyprium. Nothing contained in this Presentation nor any information made available to you is, or shall be relied upon as a
promise, representation, warranty or guarantee, whether as to the past, present or future.
Forward-looking Statements: This Presentation contains certain “forward-looking statements” and comments about future events, including statements regarding Cyprium’s intent, belief or current expectations with respect to the Company’s business and operations, market conditions, results of operations
and financial condition, and risk management practices. The words “likely”, “expect”, “aim”, “should”, “could”, “may”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “will”, “believe”, “target” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Indications of, and guidance
outlook on, future earnings or financial position or performance are also forward-looking statements and include statements in this Presentation regarding the conduct and the future performance of Cyprium.
Forward-looking statements are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied upon as an indication or guarantee of future performance. Actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements and any projections and assumption on
which these statements are based. These statements may assume the success of Cyprium’s business strategies. The success of any of those strategies will be realised in the period for which the forward-looking statement may have been prepared or otherwise. Recipients of this Presentation are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and except as required by law or regulation, none of Cyprium, its representatives or advisers assumes any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the accuracy,

The forward-looking statements are based on information available to Cyprium as at the date of this Presentation. Except as required by law or regulation
(including the ASX Listing Rules), none of Cyprium, its representatives or advisers undertakes any obligation to provide any additional or updated information whether as a result of a change in expectations or assumptions, new information, future events or results or otherwise. Indications of, and guidance or
outlook on, future earnings or financial position or performance are also forward-looking statements.
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 based on 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.
