Matt Mitchell for Firefinch Board: An Independent voice for Shareholders.

Dear FFX Shareholders,

I am writing to humbly seek your support to represent your interests, and those of fellow shareholders, as we seek to secure a return of capital and navigate the disappointing dissolution of our once great company.

Should I successfully gain your support, I commit to working tirelessly to maximise the safe return of capital to shareholders and to do so without further cost to shareholders by waiving all Directors Fees.

As a fellow shareholder, my interest is the same as yours; the return of our investment.

The situation the company finds itself in calls for integrity, pragmatism, and a detailed and earnest focus on maximising return to shareholders.

I am no stranger to complex scenarios, nor to rolling up sleeves and working hard to get outcomes. With an extensive career overseeing major project portfolios (up to $70m⁺) and driving major projects (from start-ups to the ASX 50), including rescue and recovery. Combined with experience navigating legal and political complexity with high integrity as a community-focussed elected member, I bring a razor-focused eye for detail, highly developed legal, financial and commercial acumen with a proven record of securing results. All of which will be valuable at Firefinch Limited in the months ahead.

I seek your support not merely to bring additional expertise to the Board, but to act as a dedicated representative of your voice. With both delisting and the end of the escrow period pending, it is paramount that shareholders have a direct channel to influence the decisions that will shape capital return.

My commitment is unwavering and I pledge to champion the interests of each and every shareholder.

Pre-empting an anticipated critique, while I am an active and studied investor I am not a mining expert. As it happens the Bpard is well-stocked with mining expertise. Sadly, we no longer run an active mining company. Where I do bring expertise is in representing the interests of stakeholders, navigating complex scenarios, and negotiating and achieving outcomes, in this case the maximum return of our capital.

I am fully aware of the gravity of the situation our company is facing. Few Directors would willingly nominate to jump aboard a ship that has all but sunk, yet alone to volunteer for the hard work ahead in the coming months of securing as much cargo as possible before it does.

However, I firmly believe that securing the best possible return for shareholders requires a shareholder representative on the Board, and that my track record of delivering results, representing stakeholders, and demonstrating integrity places me in a credible and strong position to both contribute to the Board as it navigates thse final months, and, most importantly the best possibl return on our investment.

Thank you for your trust and consideration.

Yours Sincerely,

Matt Mitchell
Nominated candiate for the Firefinch Limited Board
