## Minestarters Atlas summary

Royal Road Minerals reported encouraging rock-chip channel sampling results from its Ash Shajjah prospect in Saudi Arabia, part of the Jabal Sahabiyah gold exploration project. The results, including a high-grade intercept of 6 meters at 15.0 g/t gold, extended the known gold mineralization footprint to over 800 meters of strike. The company plans follow-up drilling to test the vein systems and their concealed extensions, noting the potential for an open-pit style deposit.

Reasoning: The company reported encouraging rock-chip channel sampling results, including a high-grade intercept, which extended the known gold mineralization footprint and indicates potential for an open-pit scenario, leading to planned follow-up drilling. However, the results are from surface sampling and true widths are not yet determined.

- Positive factor: High-grade intercept

- Positive factor: Extension of mineralization footprint

- Positive factor: Potential for open-pit scenario

- Positive factor: Follow-up drilling planned

- Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed

- Positive factor: QP signed off

- Negative factor: Results are from surface sampling \(rock-chip channel\), not drilling

- Negative factor: True widths are not known

- Negative factor: Some trenches returned no significant intersections

Facts used in scoring: 18

## Classification and evidence

**Apparent Width Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness.

Why it applies: The document explicitly states 'Not true widths' for the reported channel sample lengths.

Evidence · text

> \(Note: Not true widths; the Company does not yet have sufficient information to determine true widths\)

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: The release details standard industry QA/QC procedures, including certified laboratories and insertion of CRMs, Blanks, and Duplicates.

Evidence · text

> Quality Assurance and Quality Control Sample preparation and analyses are conducted according to standard industry procedures at certified laboratories. ... QAQC materials including CRMs, Blanks, and Duplicates were inserted into the sample batch on a ratio of 1:28.

**QP/CP Signed**

Polarity: positive

Story-specific tag

Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience.

Why it applies: The scientific and technical information in the news release has been approved by a Qualified Person, Dr. Tim Coughlin.

Evidence · text

> The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been prepared, reviewed and approved by Dr. Tim Coughlin, BSc \(Geology\), MSc \(Exploration and Mining Geology\), PhD, FAusIMM, President and Chief Executive Officer of Royal Road Minerals Limited and a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: The channel sampling has extended the known gold mineralization footprint at Ash Shajjah to over 800 meters of strike.

Evidence · text

> Continuous rock-chip channel sampling has expanded on previous results ... and has now extended the footprint of known gold mineralization at Ash Shajjah to more than 800 meters of strike, remaining open both to the north and the south.

**Bonanza Intercept**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm.

Why it applies: Channel sample ASCH17 returned 6 meters at 15.0 g/t gold, which is an exceptionally high grade for gold.

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
