Radius Gold drilling update: new intersection of 17.8m @ 144 g/t silver and 0.92 g/t gold at El Cuervo Target, Amalia Project, Mexico

Highlights from drill holes 48 and 49 include:

Hole AMDD21-49: 17.8m @ 144 g/t Ag & 0.92 g/t Au

Hole AMDD21-48: 37.8m @ 54 g/t Ag & 0.34 g/t Au

Including 1.6m @ 139 g/t Ag & 4.02 g/t Au

Drill results received to date, as well as current and planned drilling, are presented in the plan sections and Table 1 below.

Discussion of Results

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.

At El Cuervo target 9 diamond drill holes have been completed (AMDD21-46 to 54) for a total 3468m. Assay results have been received for the first 4 drillholes (46 to 49).

The latest drill results are located on a section approximately 100m SE of last month's intersection in AMDD21-47 of 96m @ 167 g/t Ag & 0.54 g/t Au (figure 2) and confirm and expand a significant mineralized system at the EL Cuervo target. Drilling is ongoing to define the size potential.

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.

Certain statements contained in this news release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation. All statements included herein, other than statements of historical fact, are forward- looking statements and include, without limitation, statements about the results of exploration work and future plans at the Amalia Project. Often, but not always, these forward looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "estimate", "estimates", "estimated", "potential", "open", "future", "assumed", "projected", "used", "detailed", "has been", "gain", "upgraded", "offset", "limited", "contained", "reflecting", "containing", "remaining", "to be", "periodically", or statements that events, "could" or "should" occur or be achieved and similar expressions, including negative variations.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Such uncertainties and factors include, among others, whether the planned exploration work at Amalia will proceed as intended; changes in general economic conditions and financial markets; the Company or any joint venture partner not having the financial ability to meet its exploration and development goals; risks associated with the results of exploration and development activities, estimation of mineral resources and the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; unanticipated costs and expenses; and such other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's quarterly and annual filings with securities regulators and available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended.
