## Minestarters Atlas summary

Fitzroy Minerals announced new drill results from its Buen Retiro Copper Project in Chile, highlighted by 59.0 m at 1.73% Cu including 12.0 m at 5.39% Cu from 92.0 m in hole BRT-DDH052, and 76.0 m at 0.74% Cu including 13.0 m at 3.62% Cu from 69.0 m in hole BRT-DDH062. The company has expanded its 2026 drill program to 22,000 m, citing continued success in intersecting shallow, leachable copper mineralization. The results are expected to contribute to a maiden mineral resource estimate for the project.

Reasoning: The drill results from the Buen Retiro Copper Project show multiple high-grade and long copper intercepts near surface, which are exceptional for an IOCG deposit and significantly enhance the project's potential for open-pit development. The expansion of the drill program and the clear path to production through nearby infrastructure are strong positive indicators, despite some uncertainty regarding true width disclosure.

- Positive factor: High-grade copper intercepts, including 12.0 m at 5.39% Cu and 13.0 m at 3.62% Cu, are exceptional for an IOCG deposit.

- Positive factor: Significant intercept lengths \(59.0 m, 76.0 m, 80.2 m\) indicate good continuity of mineralization.

- Positive factor: Near-surface mineralization \(from 20.8 m, 67.0 m, 69.0 m\) supports potential for open-pit mining and reduced capital requirements.

- Positive factor: Expansion of the drill program to 22,000 m signals strong company confidence and potential for further discoveries.

- Positive factor: The project is located near existing infrastructure and EW plants, suggesting a clear path to production.

- Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC procedures are disclosed, including certified standards and QP sign-off, enhancing data credibility.

- Negative factor: True width is estimated to be 80-90% of apparent thickness, but not explicitly stated for each intercept, leading to some uncertainty.

- Negative factor: Laboratory turnaround times continue to be slow, potentially delaying future results.

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

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

Why it applies: The footnote states that intervals are '\*\*Estimated to be 80-90% of true thickness', indicating that the reported interval lengths are apparent widths, not true widths.

Evidence · table

> \*\*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.
