Exploration Update: Radius Advances Tierra Roja Permits and Reviews Project Portfolio

(TheNewswire)

January 21, 2026 TheNewswire - Vancouver, Canada Radius Gold Inc. (TSXV: RDU,OTC:RDUFF) ("Radius" or the "Company") provides an update on its exploration activities and project portfolio in Peru, Mexico and Guatemala.

Tierra Roja Copper Project, Peru

Radius continues to advance permitting activities at the Tierra Roja copper project in southern Peru. The technical review for access has been approved by the Regional Government of Arequipa (GREM), representing a key milestone in the permitting process.

Project documentation is currently being processed by the Superintendencia de Bienes Nacionales (SBN) for evaluation of surface rights and issuance of a Temporary Surface Use Permit. Upon completion, Radius expects to have all required approvals in place, including access authorization, Ficha Técnica Ambiental (FTA), archaeological clearance and drill contracts, enabling application to GREM for the Authorisation to Commence Activities.

The exploration team has completed logistical and technical preparations, with multiple drill targets defined for testing once permits are granted. The appointment of Alejandro Ly as Vice President, Exploration in November 2025, based in Lima, has significantly advanced the permitting process and project readiness.

Alejandro Ly, VP Exploration comments: "The progress achieved at Tierra Roja over recent months reflects a focused effort to advance permitting and prepare for drilling. With key approvals nearing completion, we believe the project is well positioned for the next phase of exploration."

Amalia Gold Silver Project – Chihuahua, Mexico

Between 2019 and 2022, Radius and joint venture partner Pan American Silver Corp. completed 67 drill holes for 23,058 meters of diamond drilling at the Amalia Project, defining high-grade gold-silver mineralization at the Amalia and El Cuervo zones.

Further significant drill interceptions were reported in the last drill holes (eg August 30 2022, AMDD-066 13.55M @ 841 g/t Ag and 10.25 g/t Au) and remain open to expansion along strike and down dip. Along the 6 km strike of the system multiple targets remain untested.

Pan American held the right to earn 65 % interest under an existing option agreement. As operator Pan American Silver suspended work on the property during merger negotiations with Yamana in 2022. Radius continues discussions with Pan American with the objective of agreeing a pathway forward for the Amalia gold-silver project that appropriately reflects the value of the Amalia asset to Radius's shareholders.

Holly Gold Silver Project – Guatemala

In Guatemala, regional mining activity continues to advance, providing a positive backdrop for the Holly gold-silver project. Radius holds a 40% interest in the Holly project through a joint venture with Volcanic Gold Mines Inc. The project hosts a high-grade epithermal gold-silver system with multiple vein structures. Holly's Peña vein hosts inferred resources of 1.32Mt at 6.46 g/t Au and 256 g/t Ag. The effective date of the Mineral Resource Estimate is June 7, 2022 and a Technical Report on the Holly property is filed on the Company's website and SEDAR+.

The commencement of construction works at Aura Minerals' Era Dorada underground mine, 40km south of Holly highlights renewed development momentum within the district. The Era Dorada gold deposit hosts over 3 million ounces in Measured and Indicated (M&I) resources.

Regional Portfolio Activity and Strategic Positioning

Radius continues to evaluate new gold, silver and copper opportunities in Mexico, Peru and Chile. Two projects are currently in advanced stages of technical review and commercial due diligence.
