Royal Road Announces Sale of Non-Operational Mexican Assets Through Spinoff of Shares of Caza Gold Corp

July 6, 2017 – Toronto, Ontario: Royal Road Minerals Limited (TSXV:RYR) (“Royal Road Minerals”) announces that it has completed an internal reorganization to facilitate the disposal of non-operational assets in Mexico and streamline its corporate structure. Through this reorganization, ownership of Royal Road Minerals’ key operating subsidiary in Nicaragua was transferred by Caza Gold Corp. (“Caza Gold”) to Royal Road Minerals, and its non-operational assets in Mexico were disposed of through the sale of an aggregate of 134,886,372 common shares (the “Caza Shares”) in the capital of Caza Gold to an arm’s length purchaser, Generic Capital Corporation (the “Purchaser”), in exchange for a cash payment (the “Share Sale”). The Share Sale is expected to improve the organizational efficiency of Royal Road Minerals, but is otherwise insignificant to its current business operations. Royal Road Minerals plans to continue its focus on the exploration and advancement of its Piedra Iman and Los Andes projects in Nicaragua (formerly held through Caza Gold) and its projects in southern Colombia. Following completion of the Share Sale, Royal Road holds 2,936,177 common shares in the capital of Caza Gold, representing approximately 1.92% of the Caza Gold’s issued and outstanding common shares and, as a result, Royal Road Minerals has ceased to beneficially own, or have control or direction over, 10% or more of the issued and outstanding common shares of Caza Gold. Royal Road also plans to dispose of these remaining shares under the terms of the Share Sale. The Share Sale was carried out by Royal Road Minerals pursuant to Section 2.8 of National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities.
