Radius Gold intersects 96m @ 167 g/t silver and 0.54 g/t gold at El Cuervo
Target, Amalia Project, Mexico
Vancouver, British Columbia – Radius Gold Inc. (TSXV:RDU) is pleased to report assay results for the initial
two drill holes from the El Cuervo target at the Amalia Project, Mexico (Figure 1).
Highlights from the on-going drilling program include the following:
Hole AMDD21-47: 96m @ 167 g/t Ag & 0.54 g/t Au
Including 45.2m @ 290 g/t Ag & 0.80 g/t Au
Including 7.4m @ 592 g/t Ag & 0.69 g/t Au
Hole AMDD21-46: 31m @ 44 g/t Ag & 0.13 g/t Au
Including 3.5m @ 203 g/t Ag & 0.53 g/t Au
Drill results received to date, as well as current and planned drilling, are presented in the plan section and
cross section diagrams and Table 1 below.
Discussion of Results
The Radius team is highly encouraged by the new discovery at El Cuervo with drill hole AMDD21-47 cutting
impressive width and high-grade gold and silver mineralization. The gold-silver mineralization is similar
in style to the San Pedro and California targets, where significant mineralized systems have already been
identified. Drill hole AMDD21-46 located 100m above 47 intersected reduced width but still had several
significant intervals with grade-width that is commonly mined underground. Visual interpretation of core
awaiting assay from drill hole AMDD21-50 located 100m down dip also shows a reduction in width. The
initial drilling at El Cuervo has confirmed a significant mineralized system and drilling is on-gong to define
the size potential.
Amalia is a large system with multiple vein structures (Amalia, California & El Cuervo) over 10km of
combined strike with multiple targets on each structure. Compelling wide and high-grade mineralization
has been intersected on the 3 principal drill targets tested to date. Pan American Silver Corp. is the project
operator and is fully funding exploration. Pan American has a highly skilled team on the ground and a
methodical exploration process. 50 drill holes (16,343 m) have completed at Amalia and drilling is on -
going.

The Agreement
Pursuant to an option agreement signed in June 2018, Pan American Silver Corp. has the option to earn
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 completing a preliminary-feasibility study.

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.
