[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - May 13, 2026 – Fitzroy Minerals Inc. (TSXV: FTZ, OTCQX: FTZFF, FSE: C3Y) (“Fitzroy” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on drilling and the Ambient Noise Tomography (“ANT”) geophysical survey at the Buen Retiro Copper Project, Copiapó, Chile (“Buen Retiro” or the “Project”). Results from seven resource definition drill holes in the Southwest Area are reported here. Highlights Drill hole BRT-DDH059 returned 78.0 m @ 1.70% Cu from 58.0 m, including 40.0 m @ 3.02% Cu from 92.0 metres. Drill hole BRT-DDH058 returned 75.0 m @ 0.82% Cu from 9.0 m, including 8.0 m @ 3.77% Cu from 12.0 metres. Fleet Space Technologies’ passive seismic ANT regional survey confirmed architecture of main geological structures of the project and a detailed, infill survey is in progress. Merlin Marr-Johnson, President and CEO of Fitzroy, commented: “Fitzroy continues to intersect good grades close to surface at Buen Retiro, underscored by the drill intercept of 78 metres at 1.70% copper in drill hole 59. A third drill rig is being added at Buen Retiro, as we widen the search-space in this large copper system. In parallel we continue to work on the Pre-Feasibility Study which should showcase the value of leachable material near infrastructure in one of Chile’s mining hubs. Through its exploration at Buen Retiro and Caballos, Fitzroy remains focused on making large-scale copper discoveries in Chile. And through the potential development of the Buen Retiro Heap Leach project and its partnership with Pucobre, Fitzroy sees a possible route to near-term cash flow to fund exploration across the wider portfolio.” Overview Fitzroy has completed 39 drill holes for a total of 6,885 metres since the start of February 2026, comprising 35 infill drill holes and four geotechnical drill holes. The twin-rig program, aiming to define mineralization that will contribute to a maiden mineral resource estimate in the Southwest Area, is now approaching the final stage. One rig continues geotechnical drilling for the proposed pit area, and a smaller rig has been brought in to drill shallow holes in the Southwest Area and in the historical pit. Fitzroy is evaluating the potential inclusion of mineralized material in the base of the old pit to the Pre-Feasibility Study mine plan. The third diamond drill rig ...
