Cautionary Statement
The Feasibility Study referred to in this announcement is a Technical Feasibility of the
establishment of the Battery Grade Manganese Sulphate Project Stage 1 Processing Plant in China
(the Plant).
The Feasibility Study is based on the material assumptions contained in the Feasibility Study
document released to the ASX on 7 May 2024. These include assumptions about the availability of
funding. While the Company considers all of the material assumptions to be based on reasonable
grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes
indicated by the Feasibility Study will be achieved.
Notwithstanding the developments set out in this quarterly report, Investors should note that
there is no certainty that the Company will be able to raise the amount of funding to develop the
Plant when needed. It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that may
be dilutive to or otherwise affect the value of Company’s existing shares.
It is also possible that the Company could pursue other ‘value realisation’ strategies such as a sale,
partial sale or joint venture of the Plant. If it does, this could materially reduce the Company’s
proportionate ownership of the Plant. Given the uncertainties involved, investors should not make
any investment decisions based solely on the results of the Feasibility Study.
Firebird Metals Limited (ASX: FRB, “Firebird” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an
update on its activities during the June 2024 Quarter.
CHINESE LMFP BATTERY STRATEGY
Battery Grade Feasibility Study
The Company completed its Battery Grade Manganese Sulphate Feasibility Study (Feasibility
Study) in May 2024 for stage one of production in China, utilising third-party manganese ore to
produce high-purity manganese sulphate (MnSO4) highlighting excellent outcomes.
The completion of the Feasibility Study followed Firebird’s announcement in September 2023 of
its China-based Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate (LMFP) growth strategy, aimed at
establishing the Company as a highly competitive producer of battery-grade MnSO4 and Mn3O4
(high-purity manganese tetraoxide). Both products are key cathode materials in LMFP batteries
for electric vehicles.
In China, a Feasibility Study is completed first and forms the basis of engineering design,
government permitting and financing activities. The Feasibility Study contained a large portion of
compliance and project economics assessment.
The Feasibility Study was completed by Hunan Chemical Engineering Design Institute Co., Ltd
(HCEDI) and in accordance with stringent Chinese regulations. The Feasibility Study assessed the
operational capabilities of producing 50 kt of high-purity MnSO4 and 10 kt of battery-grade
Mn3O4 (equivalent to 75 kt of MnSO4 capacity), with results demonstrating a strong opportunity
for Firebird to become a near-term, highly competitive battery-grade MnSO4 producer. The
Feasibility Study also demonstrated significant cost, development, and operational advantages
gained by building a plant and establishing operations in China.

+61 8 6245 9818
admin@firebirdmetals.com.au
ASX:FRB
www.firebirdmetals.com.au
The Feasibility Study outlined a projected CAPEX of US$83.5 million and a highly competitive
OPEX of approximately US$609 per metric tonne (mt) for battery-grade manganese sulphate,
underpinned by the major competitive advantage of its strategic location within the Chinese
industrial ecosystem, which provided significant cost-saving and operational synergies.
Results from the Feasibility Study validated Firebird’s LMFP battery strategy to produce battery
grade manganese sulphate in China.
Financial Support
Robust support has been received from the Jinshi Government, China Construction Bank (Jinshi
division), and the leading chemical engineering contractor, China National Chemistry Southern
Construction and Investment Co Ltd (China Chemical), for the development and construction of
the Company’s Battery-Grade Manganese Sulphate Plant (Plant).
Combined indicative and non-binding financing agreements, advanced throughout the quarter,
cover approximately 60% (up to US$56 million) of the estimated construction and commissioning
costs. These costs are made up of a CAPEX of US$83.5M and working capital of US$10.7M.
A non-binding indicative offer from China Construction Bank (Jinshi Division) was received to
provide up to 50% of the estimated plant CAPEX requirements (subject to conditions
precedents), at very attractive terms, plus 70% of the required estimated working capital.
A non-binding agreement with China Chemical was secured to provide up to 20% of construction
and installation costs (approximately US$35 million) on a deferred payment basis, interest-free
and repayable 12 months after the commencement of commercial production.
A binding agreement with the Jinshi local Government was established to receive a 62.5% rebate
(totalling approximately US$4.2 million) on the US$6.8 million land purchase. This rebate was
accounted for within the total CAPEX requirements.
Key Permits
The permitting process remains well advanced, with the safety permit for Stage One of the
Battery Grade Manganese Sulphate Plant in China received in May. The safety permit is one of
three critical permits required to commence construction, with the other two being
environmental and energy permits.
The Environmental Impact Permit Report has been completed and has undergone initial Expert
Panel review, with full approval expected imminently.
The Energy Consumption Report was completed and lodged with the local Jinshi Government,
with approval expected during August 2024.
The efficient receipt of the Safety Permit and the advanced status of the remaining key permits
highlighted the strong in-country support Firebird has to establish the Company as a key highpurity manganese sulphate producer.
Once all permits are obtained and following a Final Investment Decision (FID), construction of
the sulphate plant is projected to take approximately 12-15 months with operations expected to
commence in late 2025 / early 2026.

Sunward Agreement
In June 2024, Firebird’s subsidiary Hunan Firebird Battery Technologies Co Ltd (HFBT) entered
into an agreement with Zhongji Sunward Technology Co, Ltd (Sunward), a leading engineering
and large-scale comprehensive design research company in China. This agreement granted
Sunward the rights to use HFBT’s unique energy recycling calcining system (patent pending) in
Sunward kilns.
Firebird and Sunward signed a development agreement, with Sunward co-funding and
evaluating the commercialisation of HFBT’s unique energy-saving rotary kiln system. Sunward, a
leading producer of rotary tunnel kilns used in many chemical plants across China, is wellpositioned to bring this innovative technology to market.
Firebird designed a patent-pending calcining unit that reduces energy usage by 80%, significantly
enhancing the cost-efficiency of the Company’s Battery Grade MnSO4 Plant.
The new calcining unit has broad industrial applications, and Sunward has agreed to pay Firebird
a 5% royalty on future sales revenue from all calciners sold that incorporate HFBT’s energysaving rotary system. Importantly, Firebird retains the right to collaborate with other
manufacturers, ensuring flexibility and broader market penetration for this technology.
Sunward has committed to funding 50% of the pilot plant's cost, estimated at US$200,000, with
Firebird funding the remaining 50%. Sunward is responsible for the detailed engineering design
and manufacturing of the pilot plant.
Firebird has continued to focus on delivering energy efficiency improvements through its
proprietary technologies. The energy-saving calcining technology and 5th generation
crystallisation technology further strengthen the Company’s compelling opportunity to rapidly
develop into a highly competitive producer of high-purity manganese sulphate. This agreement
underscores Firebird's commitment to innovation and its strategic goal of becoming a key
producer in the manganese industry.
