Fitzroy Minerals Appoints Mining Expert Craig Parry as Technical Advisor for Chilean Copper Projects

Fitzroy Minerals Inc. has appointed mining executive and geologist Craig Parry as Technical Advisor to support the advancement of its Chilean copper projects. Parry brings extensive experience from leadership roles at Skeena Resources, Vizsla Copper, Vizsla Silver, and advisory positions with Abitibi Metals, along with previous positions at IsoEnergy, NexGen Energy, EMR Capital, Tigers Realm Coal, and Rio Tinto.

Parry's appointment is significant given his proven track record in major mineral discoveries, including Vizsla's Panuco-Copala silver veins, IsoEnergy's Hurricane deposit, and NexGen's Arrow deposit. His technical expertise and discovery success position him to provide valuable guidance as Fitzroy advances its exploration programs in Chile's mineral-rich regions.

The Buen Retiro copper project near Copiapó represents a particularly promising opportunity, with Parry describing it as potentially "a major IOCG discovery." He noted that management has outlined "a fast-track route to non-operated copper production at Buen Retiro, which could give the Company sufficient cash flow to self-fund exploration in future years." This strategic approach could significantly enhance the company's financial sustainability while advancing exploration activities.

Additionally, the Caballos project has demonstrated copper-molybdenum-gold-rhenium mineralization within one of the world's most prolific porphyry belts. Parry emphasized the significance of this target, stating that "having worked for many years in this region I understand the significance of this target and see it as having potential to deliver a major new copper discovery as exploration drilling continues."

Merlin Marr-Johnson, CEO of Fitzroy Minerals, highlighted the strategic importance of this appointment, noting that "Craig has a fantastic track-record of discovery, de-risking, and wealth-creation and his experience will help us deliver value to all stakeholders in the Fitzroy Minerals portfolio." The company's expanded technical capabilities come at a critical time as global copper demand continues to grow, particularly for renewable energy and electrification applications.
