April 25, 2022 – TheNewswire – Vancouver, British Columbia – Radius Gold Inc. (TSXV:RDU) (OTC:RDUFF) is pleased to report results from the El Cuervo target at the Amalia Project, Mexico (Figure 1). Drilling at El Cuervo is ongoing, and the latest results show that Radius continues to define wide zones of mineralization on the largely untested structure.
New drill results include:
AMDD22-050 14.60m @ 117 g/t Ag & 0.92 g/t Au
Including 0.9m @ 1185 g/t Ag & 6.93 g/t Au
Including 3.05m @ 104 g/t Ag & 1.32 g/t Au
AMDD22-051 17.35m @ 253 g/t Ag & 1.11 g/t Au
Including 0.60m @ 1510 g/t Ag & 2.52 g/t Au
Including 7.60m @ 414 g/t Ag & 2.10 g/t Au
Including 1.15m @ 637 g/t Ag & 10.70 g/t Au
AMDD22-052 11.80m @ 450 g/t Ag & 1.31 g/t Au
Including 2.10m @ 1577 g/t Ag & 2.27 g/t Au
AMDD22-053 Lost holes, no assays submitted
AMDD22-054 No significant intercepts
All drill holes have been collared from 2 platforms with the holes fanned out testing approximately 350m of strike extent and 300m depth (Figure 2). The El Cuervo structure remains open to expansion along strike and to depth and so far, has been tested by 12 drillholes for a total 4752 meters. Assay results for holes AMDD22-055 to AMDD22-057 are still pending. The full table of results as well as plan maps showing the El Cuervo drilling to date are presented below.

“The latest results at El Cuervo further demonstrate that multiple structures at the Amalia Property contain significant wide zones of gold and silver mineralization. We are excited to continue adding to the large developing potential at Amalia with ongoing drilling at El Cuervo,” comments Bruce Smith, President and CEO.
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.
