Radius intersects 39.7m at 204 g/t silver and 0.35 g/t gold
at Amalia Project, Mexico
Vancouver, British Columbia – Radius Gold Inc. (TSXV:RDU) reports additional high grade drill results
from the California target at the Amalia Project, Mexico. Radius continues to define broad high grade
silver gold mineralization along 1 km strike at California target . Joint venture partner and project
operator, Pan American Silver Corp., is fully funding the program. Highlights from the latest drill results
include:
AMDD21-43 12.8m @ 259 g/t Ag and 0.54 g/t Au
Including 3.2m @ 705 g/t Ag and 1.92 g/t Au
AMDD21-44 39.7m @ 204 g/t Ag and 0.35 g/t Au
Including 19.1m @ 346 g/t Ag and 0.63 g/t Au
Including 1.6m @ 1446 g/t Ag and 5.11 g/t Au
Radius has received results from 13 of 14 drill holes at the California target (totalling 3814m), with new
results for drillholes AMDD21 -042, 043, 044 . Every hole in th is first round at California has cut the
multiphase mineralized structure, defining a large silver gold mineralized system.
California target first round of drilling has intersected multi-phase breccia and stock-work vein systems
with significant widths (up to 50m) and high grades up to 4210 g/t Ag and 33.1 g/t Au . Drill platforms
are located on 6 sections, spaced 200m apart (figures 1 & 2). The drill program has defined a coherent
and robust silver gold mineralized system over 1km and to a depth of 300m. The California structure has
been mapped over 2.8km. Mineralization is open in all directions. A full table of results is given below.
California target drill testing was limited to pre-existing roads that allowed easy access. Further on strike,
targets such as Oro Viejo, La Caverna, and California NW, are yet to be drill tested. At Oro Viejo 1km NE
from the current drilling, high grade gold has been sampled in surface rock chips with assays up to 27 g/t
gold.
Drilling is underway at the untested El Cuervo vein breccia target. El Cuervo is a subparallel structure
situated between the Amalia and California structures where s tockwork veining and brecciation have
been mapped up to maximum 40m wide and semi-continuously for 1.5km. Surface rock chip samples at
Cuervo range from below detection to 637 g/t Ag and 2.24 g/t Au. Pan American is operating the El
Cuervo drill program and expects to complete 3500m of drilling in the first program at the target.

The Agreement
Pursuant to an option agreement signed in June 2018, Pan American Silver Corp. has the option to earn
up to an initial 65% interest in the Amalia Project by making cash payments to Radius totalling US$1.5
million (of which US$ 800,000 has been received) and expending US$2 million on exploration over four
years. Pan American may earn an additional 10% by advancing the property to preliminary-feasibility.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Drilling is carried out using NQ and HQ size tooling. Drill core is cut in half using a rock saw with one-half
of the core then taken as a sample for analysis. Sample intervals are generally 1m intervals, producing
samples of between 2 to 9 kg. Half-core samples are delivered to the ALS Geochemistry laboratory
facilities in Chihuahua, Mexico. The samples are fire assayed for Au and are analysed for Ag and multi -
elements using method code ME-ICP61 following a four-acid digestion. Overlimits are analysed using an
appropriate method. Multi-element geochemical standards and blanks are routinely entered into the drill
core sample stream to monitor laboratory performance. Quality control samples submitted to ALS were
returned within acceptable limits.
