RADIUS GOLD ANNOUNCES LEADERSHIP TRANSITION TO SUPPORT NEXT PHASE OF GROWTH

Radius Gold Inc. has strengthened its leadership team as the company advances its exploration portfolio and evaluates new growth opportunities throughout the Americas.

The company has appointed Dr. Luke Longridge as president and Simon Ridgway as chief executive officer and chairman. Bruce Smith will continue as a director and technical adviser, ensuring continuity of technical leadership and strategic support as Radius enters its next phase of growth. The leadership transition reflects the company's increasing exploration activity in Peru, including the advancement of the Tierra Roja and Jonco projects, while continuing efforts to unlock value from the Amalia discovery in Mexico and the Holly discovery in Guatemala.

Dr. Longridge is an exploration and economic geologist with more than 15 years of international experience across the mining life cycle, including exploration leadership, target generation, technical program execution, structural geology and project advancement. He has worked with both junior exploration companies and major mining companies, bringing a strong technical and strategic background to Radius as the company continues to evaluate and advance its portfolio of precious metal opportunities.

Most recently, Dr. Longridge served as principal structural geologist with Teck Resources Ltd., where he worked on the Zafranal project and the regional district in southern Peru, among other exploration and development projects. His previous roles include vice-president of exploration at Canterra Minerals Corp. in Newfoundland, senior structural geologist with CSA Global Consultants Canada and exploration manager with Bushveld Minerals Ltd. in South Africa.

Dr. Longridge holds a PhD in geology and a BSc honours in geology from the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. He is a registered professional geoscientist in British Columbia and a member of the Society of Economic Geologists. He has written multiple peer-reviewed publications and technical reports, and brings deep expertise across a broad range of commodities, geological settings and deposit types.

Mr. Ridgway commented: "Radius has assembled a compelling portfolio of exploration opportunities, particularly in Peru, where we are advancing the Tierra Roja copper and Jonco silver-lead-zinc projects. Luke brings a combination of strong technical expertise, exploration leadership and international experience that will be invaluable as we move these projects forward. We are delighted to welcome him to the management team."

Mr. Ridgway added: "On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Bruce for his leadership and many years of commitment to Radius. Bruce has played a central role in building Radius and advancing its exploration strategy. We are pleased that Bruce will remain actively involved as a director and technical adviser, where his geological expertise and extensive knowledge of the company's assets will continue to benefit Radius."

Dr. Longridge commented: "I am excited to join Radius at such an important stage in its development. The company has assembled an impressive portfolio of projects with significant discovery potential, particularly in Peru, a country I look forward to continuing to work in. It will be a pleasure to work with Simon, Bruce and the technical team to advance the company's existing projects while pursuing new opportunities for growth."

The board believes these leadership changes position Radius to accelerate exploration activities, evaluate new business opportunities, and continue its long-standing strategy of generating and advancing high-quality mineral projects.
