Focused on Gold and Colombia


Management view Colombia as one of the most prospective and underexplored countries in the World. Since the 1500’s Colombia has produced +200M ounces of gold and in the last 12 years in excess of 50M new reportable gold ounces have been discovered

According to the World Bank’s 2015 Ease of Doing Business Report, Colombia tops Latin America and is the regional leader in terms of investor protection (10th in the World)

In 2014 Colombia was the fastest growing economy in Latin America, it is implementing the OECD road map and according to the UNCTAD World Investment Report has been in the top 20 best destinations for foreign investment for the last two years in a row

Corporate Presentation Oct 2015

Highly prospective high-grade gold region


La Golondrina is located within an underexplored region of high-grade Intrusion Related Gold deposits (IRGS)

Global IRGS examples include:

Donlin Ck (USA) ~10Moz Fort Knox (USA) ~7Moz Pogo (USA) ~ 5Moz Vasilkovskoe (Kaz) ~9Moz Korri Kollo (Bol)~5Moz Kidston (Aus)~4.4Moz

Unexplored high-grade producing mine


Underground high-grade room and pillar gold mine development with significant exploration potential over 400m of vertical extension

Previous rock-chip sampling of vein material returned an average 13g/t gold from 51 samples. Samples of host rock have returned up to 3.8 g/t gold and 6.8 g/t gold has been returned from a vein-stockwork zone

Styles of gold mineralization


Discrete high-grade (to 60g/t gold) shallow-moderate dipping veins in tonalite

Vein, veinlet and sulphide zones to 1m wide in tonalite

Veinlet stockwork sulphide and stratabound zones in

hornfels sediment

New potential for mineralized hornfels


Underground development only recently exposed the tonalite hornfels contact. Tonalite hosted mineralization is as yet of unknown thickness and grade

Tonalite Hornfels

Visible gold is common


Three permitted CIL plants within 15km radius


Two combined gravity and CIL toll-treatment plants

20tpd toll-treatment plant built by Colombian Government for local mining cooperative

Mining region with supervision and support from regional centre in Pasto

Exploration target style and potential?


Plus million ounce high-grade Intrusion Related Gold deposit

Stacked shallow-dipping high-grade veins (Pogo-style), moderate to steep-dipping hornfels zones (IP Target?), steep dipping feeder (vein and breccia?) zones

Current underground development on exposed veins only. Much of the license area concealed under volcanic ash and soil

Deal Structure


Royal Road has executed an Option Agreement which provides the Company with a three-year option to acquire 100% of La Golondrina, provided the following conditions are met

Over the three year term Royal Road must drill a minimum of 1500 meters and produce a feasibility study. Royal Road will make a USD $50k payment to the owner on initiation of the drilling program and provide cash payments to the owner of USD $20kpa whilst the option is in force

If the feasibility proves positive and Royal Road makes the decision to commence construction, the Company will exercises it option and acquire 100% of the project

If at the time of completion the feasibility proves uneconomic, Royal Road may extend its option to commence construction for up to a further three years (until conditions improve) by paying the owner USD $20kpa

If the Company develops the project to commercial production, at such time, the owner will have the option to elect to receive one of the following two payment alternatives

1. 20% net profit royalty to be paid once payback of all capital invested to expand and construct the operation has been made; and

2. a 15% net profit royalty, to be paid once payback of all capital invested to expand and construct the operation has been made plus a 1% net smelter royalty.
