[{"type":"text","content":"Royal Road Minerals Provides Exploration Update, Lalla Aziza Copper Project, Kingdom of MoroccoToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2025) - Royal Road Minerals Limited (TSXV: RYR) (\"Royal Road\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update of exploration activities at its Lalla Aziza copper project in Morocco. The Lalla Aziza copper mine is owned 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.Lalla Aziza is an underground copper-mine located in Morocco's Western High Atlas, approximately 90 kilometers southwest of Marrakesh (see Figure 1). Sulphide ore (principally chalcopyrite; see Figure 2) is mined from shear-hosted vein- (dolomite) stockworks and breccia, up to 12 meters wide and from three underground levels over a vertical interval of 150 meters. Whole ore is shipped for sale at a cut-off grade of 2.5% copper (Non-JORC compliant, 35 dry-ton ore assay records, minimum 1.0% maximum 5.1% copper).

The mineralized shear-hosted vein-stockworks and breccia are nucleated on or close to carbonaceous schist and dolomite horizons and extend in a northeast direction across the license area for approximately 4 kilometers strike length. There is evidence for syn-mineralization sill-like intrusive bodies emplaced on or close to the shear zone. No previous exploration drilling has been conducted on the license area.Royal Road has conducted geological mapping, underground and surface rock-chip and channel sampling and portable XRF (pXRF) soil sampling across the Lalla Aziza license area. Detailed findings are presented in Figures 1 and 3. The target concept at Lalla Aziza is a potential open-pit starter incorporating current workings, shear-controlled repeats and extensions in the footwall; immediate down-dip underground extensions below ...
