Jabal Sahabiyah

The Jabal Sahabiyah project consists of three contiguous Exploration Licenses covering 284 square kilometer. The licenses are held by Royal Road Arabia (a joint-venture company held 50-50% between Royal Road Minerals and MIDU Ltd). The project is located in the Asir Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, within the geologically prospective Nabitah-Tathlith belt.

Jabal Sahabiyah is a district of zinc-gold (± copper, silver) skarn bodies and gold-bearing quartz veins located around and related to a central intrusive core.

Project Summary

Project Size : 284 Square Kilometers

Location: Asir Province, Saudi Arabia(part of the Nabitah–Tathlith mineral belt, a prospective corridor within the Arabian Shield)

Mineralization: Hosted in poly-deformed amphibolite-facies rocks located around a central intrusive “core”. Mineralization is zinc-gold (± copper, silver) skarn and vein-gold in style.

Drilling: 4000 meters of Reverse Circulation Scout Drilling across 2 Campaigns

Best Intercepts:

ASRC004, 13 meters at 2.2 grams per tonne gold
ASRC005, 16 meters at 2.2 grams per tonne gold

Recent Activity

February 2026 - The Company has recently completed a second reverse circulation campaign totalling 1500 meters and focused principally on testing gold mineralization potential at the Ash Shajjah and Al Habah sheeted-vein targets and on extending known zinc and silver (± copper, ± gold) mineralization at Hanash North.

ISO 14001 Certification

Royal Road Arabia has also recently achieved ISO 14001:2015 certification, confirming the company's commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.

Technical & Drilling

Royal Road has completed 4000 meters of reverse circulation and RAB-style drilling in two campaigns(see Figure 2; Press Release February 26 , 2026):

23 RC drill holes targeted zinc ± gold ± silver skarns at Jabal -Muwayqirah, Hanash North and Hanash South
15 RC drill holes targeted vein gold mineralization at Wadi Raiel, Ash Shajjah and Al Habah
52 short (3-8 meters depth) RAB style holes drilled on 3 lines

The Company has also completed geological mapping, drone-borne and ground geophysics, soil and auger geochemical surveys, trenching and rock-chip sampling. (see press releases dated May 29, 2024; November 5, 2024; and October 6, 2025).

Context

Context:

The Jabal Sahabiyah Exploration tender(See Figure 1) ,consisting of three contiguous Exploration Licenses, was awarded to Royal Road Arabia(a joint-venture company held 50-50% between Royal Road Minerals and MIDU Ltd) in a competitive Licensing Round in January of 2024.
Initial detailed field work at the project was focussed on two exposed polymetallic gossans, Jabal Muwayqirah and Hanash North, originally identified by Riofinex(a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Zinc) in the 1970s.

Expenditure Commitment:

The project is currently in Year 2

New Exploration Licenses

Royal Road Arabia has also been awarded 7 additional exploration licenses covering three areas(As Saq'ah, Jabal Musamah and Al Neqrah):

As Saq'ah
Jabal Musamah
Al Neqrah

As Saq'ah:

Preliminary reconnaissance sampling returned rock-chip assays of up to 51.0g/t gold and 2.41% copper
Mineralization associated with a northeast-trending fault zone

Jabal Musamah:

Northeast – preliminary sampling returning assays up to 3.3g/t gold (mean: 1.39g/t)
Southeast – gold mineralization is interpreted to be intrusion-related, returned values up to 6.3g/t (mean: 1.19g/t)

Al Neqrah:

Significant greenfields exploration opportunity
Strong geochemical and geophysical prospectivity
Broad low-magnetic response interpreted to represent the same geological sequence that hosts the Bulghah Gold Mine
