Royal Road Minerals Announces Encouraging Drill Results at Lalla Aziza Copper Project in Morocco

Strategic Insights -

The Lalla Aziza copper project, owned and operated by Carbomine SARL, has been the focus of exploration efforts by Royal Road Minerals Limited. The project is located in Morocco's Western High Atlas, approximately 90 kilometers southwest of Marrakesh. Initial scout drilling results have confirmed the presence of economically significant copper grades, with the mineralized structure plunging and continuing below-surface towards the northeast. The drill results indicate that copper mineralization extends at depth to the northeast, with potential for an open-pit starter mine. Further work will focus on mapping and geophysics to define drill objectives at depth and to the northeast of the current drill grid.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Lalla Aziza copper project, located in Morocco's Western High Atlas, has shown promising initial scout drilling results, with economically significant copper grades confirmed.
  • The mineralized structure is likely to plunge and continue below-surface towards the northeast, indicating potential for an open-pit starter mine.
  • Drill results have demonstrated the presence of copper mineralization extending at depth to the northeast, which will be further explored through detailed mapping and geophysics.
  • Royal Road Minerals has notified Carbomine SARL of its intention to exercise its option to acquire 100% of the Lalla Aziza Mining License, subject to the terms of the Agreement.
  • The Company will focus on optimizing future drilling objectives and defining the project's full potential through further work on mapping and geophysics.
  • Tim Coughlin, President and CEO of Royal Road Minerals, stated that Morocco continues to stand out as a geologically prospective and politically supportive jurisdiction, critically positioned to contribute to the world's growing demand for secure and sustainable supplies of copper and other strategic metals.

Statistics:

  • 1000-meter reverse circulation scout-drilling campaign completed at Lalla Aziza, with 15 holes drilled.
  • Strong indications that copper mineralization extends at depth to the northeast, with potential for an open-pit starter mine.
  • Royal Road Minerals has paid USD$50,000 to Carbomine SARL upon execution of an initial Letter of Intent and USD$200,000 upon execution of the Agreement.
  • The Company has notified Carbomine SARL of its intention to exercise the option to acquire 100% legal and beneficial ownership of the Carbomine mining license for a sum of USD$1,500,000.
