The Jabal Sahabiyah tender area consists of three contiguous Exploration Licenses and was awarded to Royal Road Arabia (a joint-venture company held 50-50% between Royal Road Minerals and MIDU Ltd) at the Future Minerals Forum, January 2024. The licenses cover approximately 284 square kilometers and are located in the Asir Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, within the geologically prospective Nabitah-Tathlith belt.
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

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. This compliments the existing certifications of RRA detailed adjacent:
• Occupational Health & Safety Management System (OHSMS)
Demonstrates the company’s commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy working environment.
• Quality Control Management System (QCMS)
Reflects the company’s dedication to quality assurance and operational excellence.
• Customer Satisfaction Assurance Management System (CSAMS)
Highlights the company’s focus on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.
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:
- 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
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
