Significant Copper Intersections from Nifty West Drilling

Cyprium Metals Limited (ASX: CYM) (“Cyprium” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that first assay results from the Nifty West drilling program. The initial batch of results are from 16 RC holes (for 3,830m) drilled within the existing resource model targeting:

• A lightly drill tested area of potential low-grade copper oxide and supergene mineralisation extending from the western end of the open pit.
• Poorly drilled area up-plunge of the keel area of the Nifty Syncline below the western end of the Nifty open pit (Figure 1).

HIGHLIGHTS

• First assay results received from the Nifty West drilling program targeting lightly tested areas of copper mineralisation below and to the immediate west of the former Nifty open pit.
• Multiple zones of significant copper mineralisation intersected in the keel of the Nifty Syncline below the open pit. Significant results include:

    • 1m at 1.85% Cu from 179m, and
  • 20m at 0.68% Cu from 190m including:
    • 6m at 1.09% Cu from 195m & 1m at 1.52% Cu from 206m, and
  • 11m at 0.81% Cu from 213m including:
    • 2m at 1.20% Cu from 217m & 3m at 1.11% Cu from 221m, and
  • 3m at 0.55% Cu from 243m1

• • 8m at 0.61% Cu from 179m including:
    • 1m at 1.83% Cu from 185m, and o 12m at 0.41% Cu from 195m, and
  • 14m at 0.65% Cu from 208m including:
