The inaugural winner of the Diggers & Dealers Media Award in 2003, he is a committee member of the Melbourne Mining Club, a non-profit organisation formed to foster industry debate.

FitzGerald joins an immensely experienced and acclaimed (multiple AMEC and Diggers & Dealers award winners) editorial team led by Kristie Batten and Michael Quinn in Perth, and including regular contributors and columnists Stephen Bell, Allan Trench, Robin Bromby and Noel Dyson.

And, not forgetting the venerable Dryblower, still the most popular mining columnist in Australia.
