Royal Road Minerals reports mineral exploration developments across gold, copper, silver and base-metals projects in Colombia, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. Company news centers on drilling results, geophysics, geological mapping, title grants and option agreements tied to projects such as the Güíntar-Aleman-Margaritas gold-copper-silver project in Antioquia, Colombia, and the Jabal Sahabiyah exploration project in southwestern Saudi Arabia.
Recurring updates also cover responsible exploration initiatives, community and government engagement in Colombia, and project consolidation activity around the Lalla Aziza copper project in Morocco. Royal Road’s releases typically describe mineralized systems, concession contracts, exploration licenses, joint-venture activity and technical work programs rather than operating mine production.
Royal Road Minerals (OTCQB: RRDMF / TSXV: RYR) reported initial scout drilling, trench and channel results from the Jabal Sahabiyah project, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on October 6, 2025. The program completed 2,486 m of RC drilling (21 targeted holes, 52 shallow RAB-style holes) plus extensive trenching and channel sampling across seven prospects.
Notable intercepts include 11 m at 12.3% Zn equiv (JMRC001), 15 m at 1.4 g/t Au equiv (JMRC006), 12 m at 3.5% Zn equiv (HNRC003), and sheeted-vein trenches up to 11 m at 2.2 g/t Au (ASCH06). Results are described as early scout-stage, with true widths undetermined and follow-up mapping, geophysics and targeted drilling planned.
Royal Road Minerals (OTCQB: RRDMF) has provided an update on its Güíntar-Margaritas Project in Colombia's Antioquia region. The project has revealed significant gold, copper, and silver mineralization through 45 diamond drill holes, with mineralization extending from surface to depths over 250 meters.
Notable intersections include 62m at 2.1 g/t gold, 12.4 g/t silver & 0.6% copper in porphyry-style drilling, and 24m at 2.4 g/t gold in vein-gold-style drilling. The company owns 100% of the project following a reorganization with Mineros S.A. in May 2023.
The project comprises multiple mining concessions and includes an artisanal mining district with over 50 underground workings. Royal Road is now preparing to recommence work at the site with support from state and local authorities.

Royal Road Minerals (OTCQB:RRDMF) has announced significant results from its initial scout drilling program at the Lalla Aziza copper project in Morocco. The company completed a 15-hole, 1000-meter reverse circulation drilling campaign, revealing notable copper intersections including 19 meters at 1.1% copper and 31 meters at 0.7% copper.
Royal Road has notified Carbomine SARL of its intention to exercise its option to acquire 100% of the Lalla Aziza Mining License. The acquisition terms include payments totaling $4.25 million across various milestones, plus a 2.5% net smelter return royalty upon commercial production.
The drilling results confirm economically significant copper grades across the shear/fold zone, suggesting potential for an open-pit starter mine. The company plans further exploration through mapping and geophysics to define drill objectives at depth.

Royal Road Minerals is a mineral exploration and development company headquartered in Jersey, Channel Islands, focusing on discovering and developing copper and gold deposits. The company currently conducts exploration activities in Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Colombia, with a mission to develop large-scale deposits while ensuring minimal environmental impact and biodiversity preservation.
Royal Road Minerals (TSXV: RYR) has provided an update on its exploration activities at the Lalla Aziza copper project in Morocco. The company entered into an Option Agreement with Carbomine SARL in December 2024 to potentially acquire 100% of the mining license.
The underground copper mine, located 90km southwest of Marrakesh, features sulphide ore in shear-hosted vein stockworks and breccia up to 12 meters wide. Recent sampling revealed significant results, including underground channel samples yielding 4 meters at 5.3% copper and best gold grades of 3 meters at 1.1 grams per tonne gold.
Royal Road plans to commence up to 2000 meters of drilling at Lalla Aziza. The agreement terms include initial payments of USD$250,000, with additional payments of USD$1.5M upon transfer of ownership, annual fees of USD$300,000, USD$2.5M upon feasibility study completion, and a 2.5% net smelter return royalty upon commercial production.
Royal Road Minerals (TSXV: RYR) has completed its 2,000-meter reverse circulation scout drilling program at the Alouana project in Morocco. The program, consisting of 22 drill holes totaling 2,036 meters, targeted copper-bismuth-tungsten mineralization.
Key drilling results included maximum values of:
- Copper: 3.6% over one meter
- Gold: 2.2 grams per tonne in oxide material
- Silver: 98.3ppm
- Zinc: 3.1%
- Bismuth: 0.5%
- Tungsten: 0.6%
Following the assessment of drilling results, management concluded that the shallow-dipping mineralization did not continue at depth as hoped, and the grade and continuity of mineralization in the vein-breccia bodies were insufficient to support a standalone underground operation. As a result, Royal Road Arabia has withdrawn from the Option Agreement with Izughar Resources and will not proceed with the US$750,000 option payment for 90% ownership.
Royal Road Minerals (TSXV: RYR) has announced the issuance of 4,400,000 stock options to company employees and consultants. The options, granted on February 1, 2025, are exercisable at $0.15 per Share with a two-year exercise period. The shares issued upon exercise will be subject to a four-month hold period from the grant date. Including these new grants, the total outstanding options represent approximately 5.94% of the company's issued and outstanding shares.
Royal Road Minerals has provided an exploration update for its operations in Saudi Arabia. The company has relinquished its Al Miyah tender to focus on expanding drilling activities at the Jabal Sahabiyah project. The project, consisting of three exploration licenses covering 284 square kilometers, shows promising copper, gold, and polymetallic mineralization. Key developments include the identification of eight prospect areas, with initial focus on the Jabal Muwayqirah gossan and Hanash South prospect. Drilling is expected to commence in Q1 2025, with rock samples showing significant gold (up to 7.5 g/t), silver (up to 423 ppm), copper (up to 5.0%), and zinc (up to 30%) values.
