The Company conducts its exploration activities in Saudi Arabia through its local subsidiary, Royal Road

Arabia Limited ("

RRA

"). RRA is a Saudi Arabian joint-venture company owned on a 50-50% basis by

Royal Road and MIDU Company Limited (

"MIDU")

. MIDU is a Saudi Arabian investment holding

company, headquartered in Jeddah, with interests across various sectors including mining, industrial,

real estate development and utilities.

The Jabal Sahabiyah exploration project, located in Saudi Arabia's Asir Province, comprises three

contiguous Exploration Licenses covering a total area of 284 square kilometers (see Figure 1). The

project's mineral potential was first evaluated in the late 1970's by Riofinex (a subsidiary of Rio Tinto

Zinc), which focused primarily on zinc, conducting limited drilling of exposed gossans and concealed

geophysical anomalies. More recently, RRA has carried out geological mapping, drone-borne and

ground geophysics, soil and auger geochemical sampling, trenching, and rock-chip sampling (see Press

Releases; May 29, 2024, November 5, 2024). Mineralization at Jabal Sahabiyah is primarily intrusion-

related and includes zinc-gold-silver-copper skarn-style, as well as gold and silver-bearing quartz veins.

Gold and base metal mineralization is interpreted to have formed along deep-crustal, shallow-dipping

discontinuities during regional extension, and was subsequently folded by two regional deformation

events.

Royal Road has completed 2,486 meters of reverse circulation drilling at Jabal Sahabiyah as a

combination of targeted scout-style drill holes, testing geophysical anomalies and extensions of surface

occurrences beneath cover rocks (21 drill holes for a total of 1868 meters); and RAB-style shallow-

drilling beneath recent soil and alluvial cover (52 drill holes for a total of 618 meters). The Company has

also completed trench and rock-chip channel sampling across outcropping and shallow-concealed

sheeted vein-gold style mineralization (see Figure 2).

Skarn-style targets

Polymetallic gossans (oxidized sulphide mineralization) are evident on surface at the Jabal Muwayqirah

and Hanash North prospect areas. In both cases, mineralization is related to layered, garnet-bearing,

calc-silicate rocks, located proximal to a contact with granitoid intrusions. Scout drilling has revealed that

the Jabal Muwayqirah prospect (see Figure 2) is characterized predominantly by zinc-gold-silver ±

copper mineralization at shallow oxidized levels, transitioning to gold and silver dominated calc-silicate

skarn-style mineralization at deeper sulphide-dominated levels (see Table 1 and Figures 3 and 4).

Hanash North is a zinc-silver-copper dominated mineralized skarn system, which scout drilling reveals is

oriented parallel to a 600 meter long Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability axis, identified by Riofinex in

the late 1970's. Mineralization intercepted by scout drilling, is entirely transition or sulphide in nature,

extends across downhole thicknesses of up to 12 meters and

can be traced horizontally along the axis of

the chargeability anomaly for at-least 250 meters, remaining open towards the northwest and southeast

(see Table 1 and Figures 5 and 6).

Early scout drilling in both areas has successfully confirmed the presence of sulphide mineralization of

potentially economic grades, with room for additional volume down-plunge and along-strike. At Hanash

North, encouraging signs suggest continuity and new drill targets along and beyond the IP chargeability

trend. At Jabal Muwayqirah, additional geophysical surveys and structural studies will help pinpoint larger

and thicker sulphide zones at depth.

The Hanash South prospect (see Figure 2) was first drilled by Riofinex in the late 1970s, targeting a 2.3-

kilometer long IP chargeability anomaly linked to sulphide mineralization with anomalous zinc, copper

and silver over downhole intervals exceeding 50 meters. RRA twinned three of these historical holes to

test for gold within the sulphide zones (not systematically assayed by Riofinex). While the drilling only

returned localized anomalies in zinc and copper (e.g., HSRC001: 1 meter at 1.6% zinc and 0.1% copper

from 83-84 meters, and 1 meter at 0.4% copper and 8.1 ppm silver from 88-89 meters), the broader

intersections confirmed sulphide mineralization extending across 20-50-meter downhole intervals.

Importantly, RRA interprets Hanash South as representing a distal but significant alteration zone that may

indicate proximity to a larger skarn-style mineralized system. Follow-up geological mapping is now

underway to better define the structural setting and refine follow up drill targets.

Sheeted-vein gold targets

Exploration at Jabal Sahabiyah has confirmed potential for sheeted-vein gold and silver mineralization at

the Ash Shajjah, Wadi Raiel and Aloo prospect areas (see Figures 2 and 7). Recent work by RRA,

including channel and trench sampling, ground magnetic and radiometric surveys, and two scout drill

holes at Wadi Raiel, has mapped out extensions to known surface occurrences and returned broad low-

grade mineralized intersections exceeding 10 meters in width (see Table 2 and Figure 8). Rock-chip

sampling of quartz vein material has delivered grades of up to 36.8 grams per tonne gold (minimum

0.002, mean 0.54 grams per tonne gold), underlining the potential for localized (plunging) higher grade

sections of the gold mineralized system. The Ash Shajjah mineralized gold vein system has been traced

for a strike-length of one kilometer before it plunges below sequence towards the north and is concealed

under cover to the south.

Sheeted veins are folded by regional deformation events, meaning that surface exposures do not fully

represent their true scale or continuity. Importantly, this structural setting suggests that higher-grade

shoots may persist down-dip within the plane of the veins. Early indications also point to the possibility
