Radius stakes the Rambler Project, a high-grade gold/silver discovery in
Chihuahua, Mexico
Vancouver, Canada: Radius Gold Inc. (TSX- V: RDU) is pleased to announce that it has staked a
new 9,600-hectare property called the Rambler Project, located in the Sierr a Madre Mountains
of Chihuahua State, some 20 km NW of Radius’s Amalia project where a recent drill hole from
late 2018 intersected 26m at 7.08g/t Au and 517 g/t Ag (see press release Dec 4th, 2018).
Rambler Project
The project area is previously unexplored with only minor historic artisanal- scale pitting of
surface outcrops known. Radius geologists discovered the project during regional prospecting
surveys. Epithermal silver/gold (plus significant copper, zinc and lead) mineralization has been
sampled by Radius in several veins, vein breccias and disseminated zones over a 9km N/W
trend. In total 83 prospecting rock chip samples were collected from the property that range
from 0.001 to 16.5 g/t Au and 2 to 2030 g/t Ag. Additionally, several zones have accessory
copper 0 to 3.79%, Zinc 0 to 13.9% and lead 0 to 3.45%.
At the main target area identified to date, called Saucito, a 500m long zone of silver rich veining
and intense vein stockworks has been sampled along limited exposures in creek beds and
several old pits. In the base of the main drainage , an intense zone of stockwork veining at least
70m wide is observed hosted in andesite volcanics within a broad alteration zone. The initial
prospecting samples have returned high silver numbers from the larger veins (up to 1.5m wide)
and within the narrow stockwork veins cutting the altered host. Thirty -one prospecting rock
chip samples were collected by Radius at Saucito with results ranging from 3 to 1300 g/t Ag
with the average of 31 samples being 177 g/t Ag , with several of the samples also returning
strongly anomalous Zn/Lb. The system is open to expansion in all directions.
Within the Rambler Project Radius has so far identified 6 areas of significant alteration over a
9km trend. Interesting targets include : La Machomera, where a chip channel sample graded
1.55 g/t Au and 274 g/t Ag over 2m and a 0.6m grab sample graded 7.3 g/t Au and 469 g/t Ag
with a brecciated vein zone ; La India where grab samples recorded 10.35 and 16.5 g/t Au; and
El Gringo where a grab sample from silicified volcanic reported 4.78 g/t Au and 3.79% Cu.

Radius plans to have geological teams back on the property shortly to plan the next stage of
exploration. Maps and photos of the Project will be available on Radius’s website.
Technical Information
Bruce Smith, M.Sc. (Geology), a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, is Radius’s
Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects. Mr. Smith prepared and approved the technical information contained in this news
release.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Radius follows industry standard QA/QC procedures. Rock chip samples are delivered to the ALS
Geochemistry laboratory facilities in Chihuahua, Mexico. The samples are fire assayed for Au
and are analyzed for Ag and multi-elements using method code ME -ICP61 following a four-acid
digestion. Overlimits are analy zed using an appropriate method. Radius routinely inserts multi -
element geochemical standards and blanks into the sample stream to monitor laboratory
performance. Quality control samples submitted to ALS were returned within acceptable limits.
