Chairman’s Address – FY24 Annual General Meeting
Good morning.
On behalf of my fellow Directors, I welcome you to the Cyprium Metals Annual General Meeting
for the 2024 Financial Year. I’ll note that this is the first AGM that refers to a June fiscal year
rather than a December calendar year.
While a new financial year seems like a small thing, with just a little bit of additional work we have
normalized our financial reporting calendar with our ASX peers, aligned our budgeting process
and compensation calendar with our Australian tax year, and made it easier for Australian
investors to follow our company.
All of the incremental steps that you have seen us take this year have compounded, and our
ability to execute as a business has increased.
Yesterday we delivered an important technical milestone, the prefeasibility study on the Nifty
Copper Complex. I’ll discuss that more in our following remarks, but in short:
-
The PFS was delivered following a long period of highly focused work by the Cyprium
team and our engineering partners MEC.
The PFS provides an important benchmark of value for you and me as shareholders and
helps describe our unique value proposition to would-be investors.
The PFS presents a strong map of where we are heading and a foundation to build on in
the coming quarters.
In my address at the May annual general meeting, I outlined five key corporate priorities. Our
actions across the year have been entirely aligned with these priorities. Our delivered results
have brought us closer to our stated goal: to build Australia’s next great copper company.
Here’s a quick scorecard that looks back over the last few months:

I am very proud of all that we have accomplished together this year, and know that our company
is stronger and better positioned for the future because of it.
I am also conscious that delivery of all of these outcomes have not yet turned into durable
shareholder value – not for you, nor for me as a fellow shareholder.
Our company has many, many strategic advantages and we are focused on exploiting them to
create shareholder value. First, we own large and valuable advances copper resources at a time
when the world is clamoring for supply. Second, our flagship asset is uniquely positioned to
transition to cash flow and operations given its brownfield nature and advanced permitting status.
Third, your management team has shown the repeated ability to quickly deliver tangible results.
Fourth, we operate in Western Australia – one of the greatest mining jurisdictions in the world,
where we have access to choice commercial and strategic partners that can help our company
grow quickly.
We will turn these strategic advantages to our benefit in 2025.
With our PFS fresh of the press today, our eyes have already turned towards the future. This
foundational roadmap unlocks our ability to engage with important stakeholders around wellconsidered plans and to engage capital and execution partners around a future that is racing
towards us.
As shareholders, you should expect us to continue building a company based on sound
fundamentals and focused on delivering the rapid restart of our brownfield assets. We believe
this is the surest path to developing significant and durable shareholder value.
On behalf of the board and management team, thank you for your continued support.
This announcement has been approved by Cyprium’s Executive Chair.
