Fitzroy Minerals Expands Drill Program at Buen Retiro Copper Project
Fitzroy Minerals continues to intersect high-grade copper mineralization at its Buen Retiro Copper Project in Chile, prompting an expansion of the 2026 drill program to 22,000 meters. Key intercepts include 59.0m @ 1.73% Cu and 76.0m @ 0.74% Cu, highlighting near-surface, leachable material near infrastructure.
Fitzroy Minerals reports continued high-grade copper intersections at the Buen Retiro Project in Chile and has expanded the 2026 drill program to approximately 22,000 meters.
Drill hole BRT-DDH052 returned 59.0m @ 1.73% Cu from 92.0m, including 12.0m @ 5.39% Cu; drill hole BRT-DDH062 returned 76.0m @ 0.74% Cu from 69.0m, including 13.0m @ 3.62% Cu.
The program is expanded because the company continues to intersect shallow mineralization, indicating a well-mineralized system that is near-surface, leachable, and near infrastructure.
The project is located in Copiapo, Chile.
As of the update, Fitzroy has completed 67 drill holes for a total of 10,583 meters since February 2026.
One plan being evaluated is to produce a soluble copper sulphate concentrate at site, then truck it to one of three Electro-Win plants within 90 km for processing into copper cathode.
The President and CEO is Merlin Marr-Johnson.
Near-surface mineralization allows for reduced capital requirements and shorter permitting timelines, potentially leading to near-term copper cathode production.
