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 announcement dated 14 March 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.

IMPORTANT NOTICES
Competent Person’s Statement
The information in this report that relates to estimation and reporting of Mineral Resource Estimates is an accurate representation of the available data and is based on information compiled by
external consultants and Mr. Peter van Luyt who is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (2582). Mr. van Luyt is the General Manager – Geology and Exploration for Cyprium
Metals Limited, in which he is also a shareholder. Mr. van Luyt has sufficient experience which is relevant to the styles of mineralisation and types of deposit under consideration and to the
activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person (CP). Mr. van Luyt consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in
which it appears.
Calculation of Copper Equivalent
Copper equivalent grades have been calculated using an AUD/USD exchange rate of 0.63 and based on the following assumed metal prices: copper – AUD $15,049.89/t; gold – AUD
$3,568.55/oz; silver – AUD $40.38/oz; platinum – AUD $1,467.57/oz; palladium – AUD $1,465/oz; cobalt – AUD $40,361.54/t; nickel – AUD $28,763.51/t; zinc AUD $4,333.77/t.
The following formulae have been used to calculate copper equivalent grades, with results rounded to two decimal places:
– Nifty – MRE for the open pit and Mineral Inventory for the heap leach quote Cu only.
– Maroochydore – Cu-Eq grade (%) = Cu % + (Co % x 2.68) + (Zn % x 0.29).
– Hollandaire – Cu-Eq grade (%) = Cu % + (Au g/t x 0.76) + (Ag g/t x 0.01).
– Nanadie Well – Cu-Eq grade (%) = Cu % + (Au g/t x 0.76) + (Ag g/t x 0.01) + (Co % x 2.68) + (Ni % x 1.91) + (Zn % x 0.29).
Potential metallurgical recoveries can be estimated based on recoveries for similar deposit styles:
– Sediment-hosted deposits (Nifty, Maroochydore) – 85% Cu, 50% Co, 50% Zn.
– VMS deposits (Hollandaire) – 85% Cu, 70% Au, 50% Ag.
– Mafic-associated orthomagmatic sulphide deposits (Nanadie Well) – 90% Cu, 70% Pt, 70% Pd, 60% Au, 55% Ni, 55% Co, 50% Zn.
