The Exploration Enablement Program

The Government of Saudi Arabia has developed an Exploration Enablement Program (EEP) which is designed to support exploration efforts over exploration licenses within their first five years of tenure and with a focus on Greenfields sites. The EEP allows the qualified applicant to request a reimbursement of up to USD $2 million per exploration license for costs relating to exploration activities, with certain caps per cost-item. Caps include 25% of total drilling costs, 15% of talent and labour costs up to USD $400 thousand, 70% of total local salary costs within the first 2 years up to USD $400 thousand and up to USD$1 million per license for geochemical analyses and other geoscience-related costs.

Dr. Tim Coughlin, Royal Road's President and CEO, stated: "We are very grateful recipients of this exemplary and innovative initiative. The Exploration Enablement Program is an appreciable measure of Saudi Arabia's unrivalled approach to encouraging exploration investment. In our view, the Arabian Shield is one of the few pure grassroots environments which remains entirely open to the discovery of new and previously unconsidered styles of base and precious metals mineralization. The EEP comes at an opportune time as the global impact of resource depletion sets in and interest in mineral exploration recovers."
