Royal Road Minerals Reports Positive Rock-
chip Channel Results from Ash Shajjah, Saudi
Arabia: Follow-up Drilling Planned
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 17, 2025) -
Royal Road Minerals Limited (
TSXV:
RYR) (OTCQB: RRDMF
) ("
Royal Road
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce encouraging
continuous rock-chip channel sampling results from the Ash Shajjah prospect, part of its Jabal
Sahabiyah gold exploration project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Royal Road's exploration activities in Saudi Arabia are conducted through its local subsidiary, Royal
Road Arabia Limited ("
RRA
"), a 50:50 joint venture with MIDU Company Limited ("
MIDU
"), a Jeddah-
based investment group with interests across the mining, industrial, real estate, and utilities sectors.
The Ash Shajjah prospect lies within the Company's Jabal Sahabiyah project in Asir Province, covering
three contiguous Exploration Licenses totalling 284 square kilometers (see Figure 1). Gold
mineralization occurs within a broadly north-south striking, folded and doubly plunging, sheeted quartz-
vein system.
Continuous rock-chip channel sampling has expanded on previous results (see Press Release October
6, 2025) and has now extended the footprint of known gold mineralization at Ash Shajjah to more than
800 meters of strike, remaining open both to the north and the south. Selected results include (see Table
1 and Figure 2):
ASCH01 - 11 meters at 0.9 g/t gold (open across strike)
ASCH04 - 9 meters at 1.3 g/t gold
ASCH06 - 10 meters at 2.2 g/t gold (open across strike)
ASCH07 - 11 meters at 0.5 g/t gold (open across strike)
ASCH14 - 20 meters @ 0.5 g/t gold
ASCH16 - 8 meters @ 1.0 g/t gold
ASCH17 - 6 meters @ 15.0 g/t gold (open across strike)
(Note: Not true widths; the Company does not yet have sufficient information to determine true widths)

Complementing the rock-chip geochemistry, the Company has completed detailed geological mapping,
ground magnetics and radiometrics across the prospect. Integration of these datasets indicates a vein
system that continues beyond current sampling, with intermittent sub-crop suggesting a potential
cumulative strike length of up to 3 kilometers and aggregate widths averaging approximately 5 meters.
Results to date point to the potential for an open-pit style scenario at Ash Shajjah, with overall grades
influenced by the frequency and distribution of moderately plunging high-grade shoots; such as that
intersected in ASCH17, returning 6 meters at 15.0 grams per tonne gold.
"Ash Shajjah is one of four known gold-mineralized vein systems within the Jabal Sahabiyah project
area," said Dr. Tim Coughlin, Royal Road's President and CEO. "These systems can be challenging to
trace on surface as they often appear as isolated outcrops within broad dry drainages or beneath
colluvial cover. 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."

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Sample preparation and analyses are conducted according to standard industry procedures at

Rock-Chip and Chip-Channel Sampling and Analysis
Chip-Channel samples were collected on continuous 1 meter intervals across exposed sheeted veins
and surrounding host rock. Samples of between 1 to 2kg were collected along the sampling interval
using a hammer and chisel. All rock-chip samples were bagged in the field and sent to ALS Jeddah
for gold and multi-elements analysis (Gold-ICP22 and ME-MS61.
Select samples were also analyzed
using a screen analysis technique to account for coarse gold (method Gold-SCR24). QAQC materials
including CRMs, Blanks, and Duplicates were inserted into the sample batch on a ratio of 1:28.
