Shares of FireFly Metals Ltd (FFM.AU) plummeted 5.16% during intraday trading on Thursday, following news of the company divesting its interest in a key gold project.
The sharp decline comes after Bellavista Resources closed its acquisition of FireFly Metals' interest in PC Gold, the holder of the Pickle Crow gold project. The transaction, finalized on April 29, 2026, results in FireFly Metals exiting its stake in the project.
Investors reacted negatively to the news, as the sale reduces FireFly Metals' direct exposure to the potential future development and production of the Pickle Crow gold asset. The market's response suggests concerns over the company's strategic direction or asset portfolio following this divestment.
