(TSXV:RDU)\n(“Radius” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on\ndrilling at its Tropico Project located in the\n \n \n Fresnillo mining district in Zacatecas, Mexico.\n \n \n \n The initial hole TDD-001, planned for 300m to traverse the Tropico\nbreccia pipe, encountered difficult drilling conditions and was\nabandoned at 56m. Promisingly, immediately under the soil cover the\nhole started in silicified breccias and banded veins with strong\nfine-grained sulphides. The hole from 19m to 56m is intensely altered\nwith clay, silicification, variable zones of hydrothermal breccias and\nrepeated sets of banded silica veins with fine sulphides and stockwork\nveining. Banded veining had not previously been seen on the property.\n \n \n The drill rig has been stepped back from the target an additional 25m\nand a new hole drilled deeper under hole TDD-001, this time using\nlarge diameter PQ sized core and casing which is expected to alleviate\nthe drilling difficulties.\n \n \n Radius plans to upload photos and videos of the core to its website as\nthe drilling proceeds and shareholders will be able to follow progress\nas the 2000m initial program advances. Core photos will be regularly\nupdated and available at:\n \n \n https://radiusgold.com/projects/tropico/core-photos/\n \n \n \n \n Initial core photos are set out below:\n \n \n \n Figure 1. 20cm core at TDD-001 19m:\nOxidized silicified polymict hydrothermal breccia with stockwork\nbanded veining.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Figure 2. 10cm core at TDD-001 25m:\nSilicified breccia with stockwork banded veining.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click Image To View Full Size\n \n \n \n \n Figure 3. 20cm core at TDD-001 29m:\nMulti-phase chalcedonic quartz banded veining with dark fine grained\nsulphides.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Figure 4. 30cm core at TDD-001 33m:\nEx-sediment, crackle breccia, completely clay altered, moderately\nsilicified with broken stockwork quartz veinlets.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Figure 5. 20cm core at TDD-001 53m:\nBanded quart...
