# Royal Road Minerals Advances Gold Exploration Target at El Alemán, GAM Project, Colombia Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/royal-road-minerals-advances-gold-exploration-target-at-el-alema-n-gam-project-c--f8e5bbd0-51ad-4344-adf5-1bb170ff54a7 Original source: https://www.juniorminingnetwork.com/junior-miner-news/press-releases/1540-tsx-venture/ryr/213240-royal-road-advances-gold-exploration-target-at-el-aleman-gam-project-colombia.html Publisher: jmn Original announcement: 2026-10-20T07:37:18.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-20T14:17:18.787Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-20T14:17:18.787Z - Company: Royal Road Minerals Limited - Ticker: RYR - Exchange: TSXV - Region: Antioquia, Colombia - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-10-20 14:17:19 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Royal Road Minerals has reported new surface channel sampling at the El Alemán target of the GAM project in Colombia, returning 51m at 1.12 g/t gold. The continuous vein system has an estimated true thickness of approximately 49m and appears to project towards a previous drill intersection at depth. Reasoning: New surface channel sampling identifies a significant gold-bearing vein system with substantial estimated true width, providing a geological link to previous deep drilling. - Positive factor: continuous gold-bearing vein system exposed at surface - Positive factor: true thickness estimated at 49m - Positive factor: structural continuity towards previous deep intersection - Negative factor: results are from surface sampling/channeling, not drill assays Facts used in scoring: 4 ## Classification and evidence **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: Release mentions use of CRMs, blanks, and duplicates, and names ALS Chemex. Evidence · text > Analytical performance is monitored by means of certified reference materials \(CRMs\), coarse blanks, coarse and pulp duplicate samples. **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 historical drill results for ALM-DD-001 do not report true widths. Evidence · text > not true widths and the Company does not have sufficient information to estimate true widths ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 4. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (4) ### Fact 1 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/royal-road-minerals-advances-gold-exploration-target-at-el-alema-n-gam-project-c--f8e5bbd0-51ad-4344-adf5-1bb170ff54a7#fact-drill-facts-0) GAM Project · gold #### Identity - Project: GAM Project - Commodity: gold - Region: colombia - Reported Region: Antioquia, Colombia - Ticker: RYR #### Geometry - Grade: 1.12 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 51 m - True Width: 49 m - Intercept Depth: 0 m #### Classification - Sample Type: channel #### Location - Location: El Alemán - Loc.

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.
