Royal Road Minerals is Chasing the Strike Extent of High-Grade Silver and Antimony

Summary
The guest reports silver-antimony veins up to 650 grams per ton inside a low-grade halo at Margaritas, with antimony an unexpected bonus.
Rather than chase the deposit, crews are chasing the veins' strike extent — the direction the veins run — under tough vegetation and soil cover.
Geochemistry from four holes will vector deeper drilling toward the buried porphyry, combined with geophysics rather than a blind 1,000-metre gamble.
Vein intercepts of roughly 3 to 4 metres could be minable width, though true vein thickness is still unknown.
Royal Road holds over 1,400 square kilometres in Colombia and says permits cleared December 31, ending its wait to drill.
Tim Coughlin's takeaways
- Top takeaway Coughlin's central claim is that Margarita's confirmed the team's pre-drill thesis of a distal expression over a deeper porphyry, and that the real value is in the high-grade silver-antimony veins sitting inside the low-grade halo.
- He treats the 0.3 g/t gold intercepts from collar to bottom as sub-economic in themselves but useful as guides toward the underlying porphyry.
- He argues the roughly 1,000 metres left in the Margarita's budget should be guided by geochemistry from the long low-grade intercepts, combined with geophysics, rather than spent on one speculative deep hole in an undetermined spot.
- He explains he drew four shorter holes instead - three angled holes and one vertical off the same pad - so the geochemistry from each could be compared and used to vector direction and depth.
- He frames Colombia as the company's focus from here, pointing to GAM permits arriving on 31 December as the green light for drilling and to the company's licensed position of more than 1,400 square kilometres.
