Radius Gold Provides Updates On Jonco And Tierra Roja Properties
Radius confirms porphyry mineralisation at Tierra Roja, clearing a key permitting hurdle with access secured from the Jonco community.
Radius Gold Inc. (RDU) conducted site visits to its Jonco and Tierra Roja projects in Peru during July 2026. At Jonco, management reviewed legacy data, including 11 historic drill holes and geophysics, and met with the Cajamarquilla community to secure surface access agreements required for future permitting.
At Tierra Roja, field observations confirmed widespread copper-oxide mineralization beneath caliche cover, porphyry dikes, and extensive silicification and potassic alteration. Copper oxides were identified over 1 km east of the Core Zone, expanding the geochemical footprint to greater than 4 km². The company is preparing a surface work program for detailed characterization and continues engagement with the Peruvian government for drilling authorization. No new drill results, resource estimates, or financial updates were provided.
Radius Gold Inc. (RDU) released an update consistent with its prior March 2026 exploration and permitting announcements. Field confirmation of porphyry indicators at Tierra Roja validates the geological model, though it does not constitute a new discovery or resource definition. Community engagement at Jonco is a standard, expected prerequisite for permitting in Peru. The news maintains operational momentum but introduces no new financial catalysts, financing, or material changes to the project timeline.
Radius Gold Inc. (TSX.V: RDU) is a Vancouver-based exploration company focused on gold, silver, copper, and base metals in the Americas. Its flagship projects are located in Peru: Tierra Roja, a 100%-owned copper porphyry target, and Jonco, where the company holds an option to earn 100% of a polymetallic Ag-Au-Pb-Zn epithermal system. Additional assets include Amalia in Mexico, in which the company holds a 35% interest and has halted exploration, and Holly in Guatemala, where an inferred resource has been defined. Management transitioned in June 2026, with Dr. Luke Longridge appointed President and Simon Ridgway appointed CEO and Chairman. Bruce Smith remains as Director and Technical Advisor.
