[{"type":"text","content":"Royal Road Minerals Announces Scout Drilling Results from the Lalla Aziza Copper Project, Kingdom of MoroccoToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 14, 2025) - Royal Road Minerals Limited (TSXV: RYR) (\"Royal Road\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results from its initial scout drilling program at the Lalla Aziza copper project in Morocco. Lalla Aziza is an underground copper-mine located in Morocco's Western High Atlas, approximately 90 kilometers southwest of Marrakesh. Lalla Aziza is owned and operated by Moroccan mining company, Carbomine SARL (\"Carbomine\"). In December 2024, Royal Road entered into an Option Agreement (the \"Agreement\") with Carbomine, which provides the Company with an option to acquire 100% of the Lalla Aziza Mining License. Summary terms of the Agreement are provided below. The Lalla Aziza mine area is located close to the southwestern extent of Carbomine's license area, along a regionally extensive, southeast-dipping shear zone which continues for a distance of 4 kilometers diagonally across the license area (see Figure 1). Copper at Lalla Aziza is mined from chalcopyrite ore, hosted in dolomite vein-stockworks and hydrothermal breccia. Dolomite and copper mineralization is emplaced proximal to and within fault-related fold-hinges which plunge shallowly along and in the hanging-wall to the shear zone towards the northeast. Where mapped, mineralized structures can exceed 20 meters in thickness, but underground mining is limited to locally higher-grade intervals, where hand-picked ore averages in excess of 3% copper.

The Company has now completed a 15-hole, 1000-meter reverse circulation scout-drilling campaign at the project. This is the first exploration drilling to be conducted at Lalla Aziza. Drilling is aimed principally at testing bulk copper grades across the extent of the shear/fold zone, including the higher-grade underground intervals, in order to;Assess potential for a \"starter\"-style open-pit mine; andTest for the along-strike, down-plung...
