Fitzroy Minerals Inc. has announced that its common shares now trade on the OTCQX Best Market in the United States, marking an upgrade from the OTCQB Venture Market. The company's shares began trading under the symbol "FTZFF" on the OTCQX, where U.S. investors can access current financial disclosure and Real-Time Level 2 quotes through www.otcmarkets.com.
Campbell Smyth, Chairman of Fitzroy, stated that this graduation enhances the company's visibility to U.S. investors, increases liquidity, and underscores its commitment to creating long-term shareholder value. This development occurs as Fitzroy advances its Buen Retiro and Caballos Copper Projects in Chile. The OTCQX Market is designed for established, investor-focused companies that meet high financial standards, adhere to best practice corporate governance, and comply with applicable securities laws. Qualifying for this market represents a significant milestone, enabling companies to demonstrate their qualifications and build visibility among U.S. investors.
For business and technology leaders, this news highlights the strategic importance of market accessibility in the resource sector. Fitzroy's move to the OTCQX could signal growing investor confidence in its projects, potentially influencing capital flows into mineral exploration.

Increased U.S. investor access may lead to greater liquidity and valuation stability, benefiting stakeholders and reflecting broader trends in cross-border investment in mining ventures.
