2021 Summary
“In 2021, Radius took many important steps towards advancing the Company’s assets. Drilling and other exploration work on Radius’s projects in
MEXICAN ASSETS
Radius’s Mexican Amalia project is under a joint venture with
The 10,250 hectare property includes the Amalia,
45 drill holes totaling 14,402m have been completed at the Amalia project. 10,588m in 31 drillholes have been completed on the Amalia vein system, and 3,814m in 14 drillholes completed in the
Drilling has re-started at
With the
Radius Gold’s Maricela project is located within a prolifically mineralized mining district, 20km south of the
At the Maricela project, geologists have mapped and sampled an epithermal silver and gold mineralized vein system extending approximately 1.5km long by 300m wide, within which occurs multiple veins, stockworks and breccias. Vein intersections have exposed widths of up to 25 meters. Radius has collected 576 rock chip samples which returned values from below detection to highs of 12.75 g/t gold and 3,780 g/t silver and various continuous chip sampling across the structures which include highlight intervals of:
3m at 4.46 g/t gold and 1,335 g/t silver - Baby
Gloria Vein 6m at 1.03 g/t gold and 418 g/t silver - Silver Central Vein
25.3m at 0.31 g/t gold and 62 g/t silver - (intersecting veins)
Radius’s geological team believes the recent geochemical results demonstrate potential for both high grade silver-gold veins and bulk tonnage lower grade mineralization that could be amenable to open pit mining. The multiple intersecting mineralized veins at Maricela make for compelling drill targets that have never been tested. Radius’s team is currently preparing drill permits and access agreements for a planned first program this year.
The Plata Verde project is located in

Radius’s geological team has also completed detailed underground mapping and sampling of the historic
GUATEMALAN ASSETS
Radius’s Guatemalan assets are under a joint venture agreement with Volcanic Gold Mines Inc. (VG.V), a
4,744m of diamond drilling has been completed at the Holly project within the last eight months. The next round of drilling at Holly will focus on resource definition at La Peña vein system which has delivered high-grade and consistent drill results, including recently published:
HDD-21-017 8.83m @ 8.81 g/t Au and 355 g/t Ag (
Sep 9, 2021 )HDD-21-019 1.53m @ 191.80 g/t Au and 539 g/t Ag (
Oct 5, 2021 )and 6.52m @ 11.72 g/t Au and 340 g/t Ag
HDD-21-020 5.40m @ 4.38 g/t Au, 350 g/t Ag (
Oct 5, 2021 )HDD-21-023 4.58m @ 79.84 g/t Au and 5,053 g/t Ag (
Oct 19, 2021 )
Field crews have continued detailed mapping and sampling at Holly project. This work has identified new drill targets on splay structures of the Jocotan fault where 2 large zones of mineralized breccia have been mapped and are coincident with high grade soil and rock chip results.
Volcanic plans systematic drill testing of these new targets including the Jocotan splay faults and to continue testing the extensions, both strike and dip, of the La Peña vein system. Assays are still pending on drill holes HDD-21-024 to 028 and the samples from the detailed rock chip sampling of the Jocotan splay targets. Drilling will recommence at Holly once outstanding assays have been received and interpreted.
The Company is working on access agreements with an adjoining community prior to commencing any drilling at
Regional Exploration
The Volcanic Gold exploration tenement package covers approximately 2,400 square kilometres of the
Multi-element rock chip / soil geochemistry have been received for the first regional prospecting area discovery, Motagua Norte, where a continuous 2-3-kilometre-long elevated gold trend has been defined. The structural and lithologic setting together with indications of orogenic style gold setting, interpreted from the multi-element geochemistry and mineralogy, increase the priority of this trend. The entire area is densely covered by boulders ranging in size up to maximum 3m diameter. Samplesrange from anomalous gold up to 320 g/t. Mineralization is hosted in massive quartz veining and stockwork veining within sericite altered schist and is interpreted to be mesothermal shear hosted gold and silver.
The project has low population density with the main target areas having large farms with just a few private owners; formal landowner access agreements are in place. Volcanic has prepared and submitted environmental permits and is working with Radius to prioritize the granting of these concessions.
INVESTMENT ASSETS
The Company’s significant equity investments consist of the following positions:
3,973,275 shares in
Rackla Resources Inc. (RAK.V). Rackla is in the process of acquiring the Misisi Gold project located in theDemocratic Republic of Congo . The TSX Venture Exchange has conditionally approved the proposed acquisition by the Company for a 73.5% interest in the Misisi Gold project. On closing management intends, subject to TSX-V approval, to change the name of the company toGoldenhawk Resources Ltd. and to appoint Mr.Darryll Castle as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director.830,412 shares in Volcanic plus warrants to purchase an additional 160,714 shares. Volcanic is a TSX-V listed company focused on building multi-million-ounce gold and silver resources in underexplored countries. It holds an option to acquire a 60% interest in the Company’s Holly and
Banderas gold/silver properties located in easternGuatemala , and is currently conducting exploration programs on the properties.10,126,500 shares in Medgold Resources Corp. (“Medgold”).Medgold is a TSX-V listed, project generator company targeting early-stage gold properties in the Balkan region. Its holdings include the Tlamino gold-silver project in
Serbia which has an Inferred Mineral Resource containing approximately 680,000 oz AuEq.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Reported drilling was carried out using by Radius joint venture partners under the supervision of senior geologists to industry accepted standards. Radius’s Qualified Person has visited both the Holly project and Amalia project multiple times during the course of the reported drill programs and inspected the drill and sampling operations. Sample intervals are generally 1-2 m intervals, with half-core samples delivered to internationally certified laboratories. The samples are fire assayed for Au and are analysed for Ag and multi-elements using method ICP following a four-acid digestion. Overlimits areanalysed 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 were returned within acceptable limits.
