# Fitzroy Minerals Intersects 78.0 m at 1.70% Cu from 58.0 m, including 40.0 m at 3.02% Cu from 92.0 m at the Buen Retiro Copper Project, Chile Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/fitzroy-minerals-intersects-78-0-m-at-1-70-cu-from-58-0-m-including-40-0-m-at-3--ff414671-96bf-4931-864c-5291b822b8ee Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/FTZ/news/7173491384720482/fitzroy-minerals-intersects-78-0-m-at-1-70-cu-from-58-0-m-including-40-0-m-at-3- Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-05-13T13:40:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Fitzroy Minerals Inc. - Ticker: FTZ - Exchange: TSX - Region: Copiapó, Chile - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-08-25 10:34:54 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Fitzroy Minerals reported high-grade copper drill results from the Buen Retiro Copper Project in Chile, highlighted by a 78.0 m intercept at 1.70% Cu in hole BRT-DDH059. The results are part of a resource definition program aimed at supporting a maiden mineral resource estimate. Reasoning: The drill hole BRT-DDH059 returned a very strong 78m intercept at 1.70% Cu, including a high-grade 40m zone at 3.02% Cu, significantly exceeding previous project averages. - Positive factor: High-grade copper intercept - Positive factor: Significant width - Positive factor: Strong continuity - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed - Negative factor: Slow laboratory turnaround Facts used in scoring: 13 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release includes detailed QA/QC procedures, including use of standards, blanks, and duplicates, and names a certified laboratory \(ALS-Patagonia\). Evidence · text > The Quality Assurance \(QA\) and Quality Control \(QC\) samples prepared by the Company represent about 12% of the total primary core samples. **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The 40m @ 3.02% Cu intercept is exceptionally high grade for a copper project. Evidence · text > including 40.0 m @ 3.02% Cu from 92.0 metres ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 13.
