Royal Road Minerals Limited (TSXV: RYR | OTCQB: RRDMF) has announced encouraging surface sampling and geological mapping results at El Alemán, a prospect within its wholly owned Güíntar-Alemán-Margaritas (GAM) project in Antioquia, Colombia. A continuous saw-cut channel returned 51 metres at 1.12 grams per tonne gold, including a higher-grade interval of 20 metres at 2.21 grams per tonne gold. The company states it is now preparing to drill test the zone, making the update a near-term catalyst investors may wish to monitor.

Key Points

  • Royal Road Minerals Limited (TSXV: RYR | OTCQB: RRDMF) operates the wholly owned GAM project in Antioquia, Colombia
  • Surface channel sampling at El Alemán returned 51 metres at 1.12 g/t gold, including 20 metres at 2.21 g/t gold, with estimated true thickness of approximately 49 metres
  • Structural mapping indicates the surface vein system projects toward a previous drill intersection approximately 400 metres down dip; the mineralised system has a mapped strike extent of at least 300 metres
  • Investors should watch for drill results testing continuity between surface exposures and the historical deep intersection

Surface Channel Results and Vein Geometry at El Alemán

The saw-cut channel was oriented horizontally and perpendicular to a system of parallel gold-bearing veins exposed in historical artisanal workings. The vein system dips approximately 75° to the north, yielding an estimated true thickness of approximately 49 metres at 1.12 grams per tonne gold, including 19 metres at 2.21 grams per tonne gold. These results reflect surface exposures only, and the release notes that the mineralised system has a mapped and interpreted strike extent of at least 300 metres, indicating meaningful lateral continuity along trend.

Historical Drill Data Supports Down-Dip Exploration Target

Previous drilling at El Alemán intersected 80.5 metres at 1.0 gram per tonne gold, including 18 metres at 3.0 grams per tonne gold, from a downhole depth of 323 metres in drill hole ALM-DD-001. The company noted those figures are not true widths and that it does not have sufficient information to estimate true widths. Structural measurements from the current mapping programme indicate the newly characterised surface vein system projects toward that prior intersection approximately 400 metres down dip, providing the geological rationale for the forthcoming drill programme.

El Alemán's Role Within the Broader GAM Mineralised Complex

El Alemán is located approximately 500 metres northwest of the Güíntar porphyry, where Royal Road states drilling is currently underway. The company interprets the gold-bearing sheeted-vein system at El Alemán as part of the broader Güíntar mineralised complex, representing an additional potential source of gold mineralisation within the GAM project area. El Alemán is held under an option agreement through which Royal Road holds the exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest, as disclosed in a prior release dated January 12, 2026.
