Rio2 (RIOFF) has been added to the MVIS Global Junior Gold Miners Index, effective September 18, 2026.
This index serves as the benchmark for the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF, which tracks small-cap gold and silver mining companies. The company expects that inclusion will enhance its visibility among investors, improve trading liquidity, and increase exposure to global capital markets.
Rio2 describes itself as a diversified precious metal and copper producer, currently producing gold at the Fenix Gold heap leach mine in Chile and copper/gold/silver at the Condestable underground mine in Peru.
Rio2 (TSX: RIO, OTCQX: RIOFF) has received regulatory approval on August 21, 2026, for the Modification of the Environmental Impact Study (MEIA) covering expansion of the Condestable underground copper mine in Peru, completing a 14‑month process with regulators, local communities and other stakeholders.
The approved MEIA authorizes a new dry‑stack tailings facility (Tailings Storage Facility #6) with initial capacity of about 43 million tonnes and staged expansion potential up to 170 million tonnes, supporting future mine‑life extensions. Throughput capacity is now permitted to increase to 10,000 tpd from 8,400 tpd, subject to completion of ongoing engineering studies for the plant and mine and a final investment decision targeted by Rio2 for H2 2026.
The approval also formally extends Condestable’s environmentally approved mine life by a further decade. Rio2 continues technical and economic evaluations, an ore‑sorting pilot on low‑grade stockpiles and waste (planned for Q4 2026), and systematic exploration supported by a completed geophysical survey of the Condestable land package.
