## Minestarters Atlas summary

Fitzroy Minerals announced strong drill results from its Buen Retiro Copper Project in Chile, including 59.0 m at 1.73% Cu and 12.0 m at 5.39% Cu from near-surface intercepts. The company has expanded its 2026 drill program to 22,000 m due to continued success in intersecting shallow mineralization. These results highlight the project's potential for near-term copper cathode production, leveraging existing infrastructure and leachable material.

Reasoning: Fitzroy Minerals reported exceptional high-grade copper intercepts from near-surface drilling at its Buen Retiro project, including 59.0 m at 1.73% Cu and 12.0 m at 5.39% Cu, leading to a significant expansion of the drill program and outlining a clear path towards potential near-term production.

- Positive factor: Multiple high-grade copper intercepts significantly above porphyry peer averages

- Positive factor: Significant intercept widths, including 59.0 m and 76.0 m

- Positive factor: Near-surface mineralization identified, supporting potential for open-pit mining and heap leach processing

- Positive factor: Expanded drill program to 22,000 m indicates growing confidence in the project

- Positive factor: Potential for near-term copper cathode production due to leachable material and proximity to infrastructure

- Positive factor: Detailed QA/QC procedures disclosed, including certified labs and QP sign-off

- Positive factor: Drilling extends mineralization with step-outs

- Negative factor: Laboratory turnaround times are slow, potentially delaying future results

Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.

> Buen Retiro Core Sampling Procedures, Laboratory and QA/QC Buen Retiro HQ drill core, in labelled and secured wooden core trays, is picked up from the drilling site by Company personnel and transported by truck from the drill rig to the core processing facility in Copiapó . Core lengths are checked, after which geotechnical logging is performed. Using an electric core cutting diamond blade saw, primary half-core samples are collected from HQ- or NQ-sized drill core with the remaining half-core stored in the original wooden core trays at the rented core storage warehouse in Cuesta Cardones, south of Copiapó. A silica blank is inserted every 20 samples \(approximately every 20 m\); a blank is always inserted immediately after a section that contains native copper. Pulp duplicates are randomly selected in proportion to the number of samples from each drill hole and inserted into the sample stream along with high-, medium-, and low-grade copper standards. Sample identifications are changed and coded by the Company. The Quality Assurance \(QA\) and Quality Control \(QC\) samples prepared by the Company represent about 12% of the total primary core samples. The three certified copper standards \(both oxide and sulphide\), acquired from Chilean company Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Estandarización y Metrología Ltda. \(“ INTEM ”\), have international standard certification. The certified standards are used to evaluate the accuracy \(approximation versus true value\) of the laboratory analysis. Blanks are used to evaluate the quality of the laboratory preparation and identify possible contamination. Pulp duplicates are used to test analytical accuracy \(repeatability\). No secondary laboratory \(referee lab\) samples were completed in this round of drilling; however, the next stage and subsequent stages of drilling will see a secondary laboratory introduced to replicate procedures. Once prepared, the core samples are bagged, tagged, and transported to the laboratory by the project team. At the laboratory reception, the samples and their identification codes are verified and accepted once the physical inventory matches the assay request form. The pulps and rejects of crushed samples are collected from the ALS-Patagonia laboratory in Copiapó every 3 months. The rejects are stocked in closed drums, identified with the corresponding batches and sample ranges, while the pulps are stocked in boxes and in shelves inside a container separated for this purpose. Both are located in the same Company warehouse facilities in Copiapó. A visual review of the QA/QC results from the standards and blanks inserted by the Company and the laboratory’s internal QA/QC information was completed by the Company and no significant issues were identified. The Company and Qualified Person are independent of the assay laboratories disclosed in this news release. Qualified Person Dr. Scott Jobin-Bevans \(P.Geo., Ph.D., PMP\), a QP as defined by NI 43-101 and independent geological consultant to the Company, has reviewed and approved the technical information provided in this news release and verified the data disclosed, including the sampling, analytical and test data underlying the technical information contained in this news release. Specifically, the QP verified selected laboratory assay results against the reported drill core intervals, as well as drill core logs against the geology, as supplied by the Company .

**Compositing Transparent**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals.

Why it applies: The cut-off grade of 0.20% Cu and minimum thickness of 5 m used for compositing intervals are clearly stated.

Evidence · text

> \*Calculated on a minimum thickness of 5 m and minimum average grade of 0.20% Cu

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Two rigs are actively testing the extension of the Southwest Area with step-outs to the northwest and southeast.

Evidence · text

> Currently two rigs are testing the extension of the Southwest Area with step-outs to the northwest and to the southeast.

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: Intervals are reported as downhole widths, with a general estimate that they are 80-90% of true thickness, but no precise true width is provided for most intercepts.

Evidence · text

> \*\*Estimated to be 80-90% of true thickness

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
