Royal Road samples 6 m of 15 g/t Au at Jabal Sahabiyah

Executive Summary

• Royal Road Minerals Ltd. reports positive continuous rock chip channel sampling results from the Ash Shajjah prospect, part of its Jabal Sahabiyah gold exploration project in Saudi Arabia.
• The sampling has extended the known gold mineralization footprint to more than 800 metres of strike, with the system remaining open to the north and south.
• Integration of geological mapping, ground magnetics, and radiometrics suggests a potential cumulative strike length of up to three kilometres with aggregate widths averaging approximately five metres, pointing toward a potential open-pit scenario.

Key Details

• Project Location: Ash Shajjah prospect, Jabal Sahabiyah project, Asir province, Saudi Arabia.
• License Area: Three contiguous exploration licences totalling 284 square kilometres.
• Geological Context: Gold mineralization occurs within a broadly north-south-striking, folded and doubly plunging, sheeted quartz-vein system.
• Sampling Results (Selected Intercepts):
  • ASCH01: 11 metres at 0.9 g/t gold (open across strike).
  • ASCH04: 9 metres at 1.3 g/t gold.
  • ASCH06: 10 metres at 2.2 g/t gold (open across strike).
  • ASCH07: 11 metres at 0.5 g/t gold (open across strike).
  • ASCH14: 20 metres at 0.5 g/t gold.
  • ASCH16: 8 metres at 1.0 g/t gold.
  • ASCH17: 6 metres at 15.0 g/t gold (open across strike).
• Note on Widths: Results are not true widths; the company does not yet have sufficient information to determine true widths.
• Geophysical Data: Detailed geological mapping, ground magnetics, and radiometrics indicate a vein system continuing beyond current sampling, with intermittent subcrop suggesting a potential cumulative strike length of up to three kilometres.
• Aggregate Widths: Averaging approximately five metres.
• Future Plans: Drill-testing of veins and their concealed extensions is planned once mapping and modelling are complete in the coming weeks.
• Joint Venture: Exploration conducted through Royal Road Arabia Ltd., a 50/50 joint venture with Midu Company Ltd.

Notable Quotes

• "Ash Shajjah is one of four known gold mineralized vein systems within the Jabal Sahabiyah project area... Our recent work has significantly improved our understanding of these gold mineralized vein systems, and we are looking forward to drill-testing these veins, and their concealed extensions, once mapping and modelling is complete in the coming weeks." — Dr. Tim Coughlin, President and CEO
