River Road Commences LiDar Survey at Stobart

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 15, 2026) - River Road Resources Ltd.(TSXV: RRRL)("River Road" or the "Company") is pleased to announce commencement of a helicopter LiDar survey at its road accessible, 725.75 ha precious metal Stobart Property, located 95km SW of Williams Lake, British Columbia.

The LiDar survey will be undertaken by Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd. of Ottawa, Ontario.

The survey will cover approximately 7.17km² of airborne LiDAR and optional orthophoto data to be collected at a raw point density of approximately 50 points per m² and 10cm GSD imagery. The R44 will utilise a nose-mounted sensor system, which provides high-resolution and accurate results. The data will be acquired at 70 kn and 1400 feet AGL. The flight parameters are set to prioritize LiDAR data capture, with a model accuracy of 15cm.

"The LiDar survey, while providing a detailed topographic map of the claim group for future trenching and drilling, should also highlight any areas of disturbance which may be indicative of currently unknown or undetected workings, pits or outcrops of potential quartz veining," commented River Road Ceo R. Tim Henneberry. "Along with the upcoming drone magnetics survey, we will have a complete geophysical database providing a good picture of the geology of the Stobart property," he continued.

The Stobart Property is an epithermal gold project in the Cretaceous Spences Bridge Group ("SBG"). Dundee Group recently signed an agreement to earn up to a 60% interest in Westhaven Gold Corp.'s four (SBG) properties though $85 million in exploration expenditures, highlghting the potential of the SBG Gold Belt. Historic Stobart grab sampling returned multiple plus 1 g/t gold values to a maximum of 5 g/t. River Road's 2025 exploration confirmed the earlier rock sampling, while soil geochemistry appears to trace the veins along strike.
