Radius Defines Anomalous Au-Hg-Sb-As-Tl in Soil/Stream Sediment Samples at Scarlet East Property, Rackla Belt, Yukon



Vancouver, Canada:  Radius Gold Inc. (TSX-V: RDU) is pleased to announce that recent work on its 100%-owned Scarlet East claim block in the Yukon has returned highly encouraging first-pass results with the discovery of anomalous Au-As-Hg-Sb-Thallium soil geochemistry in an area of orange-weathering, gossanous looking limestone


The Scarlet East property covers what is believed to be the eastern extension of the belt of rocks that host ATAC Resources’ Osiris and Conrad discoveries northeast of Keno City in the Yukon Territory.  The Rackla Belt is a potentially major belt of Carlin-type gold mineralization.  Radius staked 320 claims covering the prospective stratigraphy along the southeast edge of ATAC’s claim block, approximately 10-30km southeast of the Osiris target.


Partial results for the first pass reconnaissance geological mapping and geochemical sampling program from the Scarlet project have been received for 382 soil, 61 stream sediment and 21 rock samples.  Ridge and spur soil sampling on the eastern end of Radius’ Scarlet East claim block has identified a gold-arsenic-antimony-mercury-thallium anomaly coincident with a significant orange colour anomaly along a ridge, which coincides with the possible strike extension of the Nadaleen trend that bounds the Osiris and Conrad occurrences approximately 15km to the west-northwest.  The anomalous samples are underlain by an orange-weathering silty limestone unit that lies on the north dipping limb and crest of a southeast trending anticline.


Results include a number of samples anomalous in gold-arsenic-antimony-mercury and thallium.  Significantly three soil samples spaced 100m apart on a reconnaissance ridge and spur sample line contained between 19.6 ppb and 30.7 ppb Au, and these same samples and adjacent samples, within 100 m, contained up to 496.7ppm As, 23.43ppm Sb, 14,621ppb Hg and up to 4ppm Tl.  A number of stream sediment samples from drainages downstream of the above area returned anomalous values up to 20.9ppm As, 1415ppb Hg, 1.51ppm Sb.  Gold and thallium values were less than 3ppb and 0.13ppm respectively.  A rock grab sample from the orange silty limestone area described as a grey limestone with fine grained disseminated pyrite contained 2ppb Au and 1886.9ppm As.  


These elements are considered pathfinders for Carlin type deposits.  Management believes this is a significant start to the program in this belt.


A photograph of the ridge and gossanous-looking orange weathered limestone units has been posted on Radius’ website at http://www.radiusgold.com/s/Racklabelt.asp.


Follow up work is being planned and will initially consist of grid-based soil sampling over the anomalous area, and mapping and prospecting.  The final results from the initial program for Scarlet East, and all the results from the Scarlet West property are expected in the next 2 or 3 weeks.  


According to ATAC, mineralization at their Osiris Target area shares many of the characteristics of Carlin-type gold deposits, including similar alteration assemblages and association with the low temperature arsenic sulphides, realgar and orpiment.  Host rocks are two, 150 to 250 m thick limestone debris flow and turbidite units, referred to as the Osiris and Isis Horizons, which occur within basinal silty mudstones.


Laboratory


All samples were sent to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. preparation facility in Whitehorse.  The pulps and sieved samples were analyzed at Acme’s laboratory in Vancouver.  Gold in rock samples were determined by a 30 gram fire assay fusion – ICP-ES (code 3B01).  An additional 36 elements were analyzed by ICP-MS using a 0.5 gram sample.  Soil samples, dried and sieved to -80 mesh, were analyzed for a 37 element suite, including gold, by ICP-MS (code 1F05) using a 15 gram sample.  Stream sediment samples, dried and sieved to -150 mesh, were analyzed for gold by lead collection fire assay using a 50 gram split code (3B01+3B04).  An additional 30 gram split was analyzed for 53 elements, including gold, by aqua regia digestion and ultratrace ICP-MS analysis (code 1F03).


Chain of Custody


All sampling is conducted under the supervision of the Company’s project geologist.  Samples are tracked by the project geologist from the project site to the sample preparation facility and transported by Company personnel or expediters employed by the Company.


Qualified Person


Roger Hulstein, BSc, P.Geo., is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia and is the Company’s Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.  Mr. Hulstein is responsible for the accuracy of the technical information in this news release.

Radius Stakes New Rackla Belt Claims,

Expands Scarlet East Au-Hg-Sb-As-Tl Anomaly


Vancouver, Canada:  Radius Gold Inc. (TSX-V: RDU) is pleased to announce it has staked an additional 98 claims in 2 blocks contiguous with its Scarlet West claims in the Rackla Belt, Yukon Territory.  Fifty four claims were staked on the northern boundary of the Scarlet West claims and 44 on the eastern side.  The new staking increases Radius’s land position in this exciting emerging belt to 620 claims.


The Company has now received results for additional ridge-and-spur sampling along a northeast-southwest trending ridge on the eastern end of the Scarlet East claims, expanding the size of the previously announced anomaly, with anomalous arsenic, antimony and gold associated with thallium and mercury in an area of orange-weathering, gossanous looking limestone.  The latest gold-in-soil results returned up to 182ppb Au.


The anomaly coincides with the possible strike extension of the Nadaleen trend that bounds the Osiris and Conrad occurrences approximately 15km to the west-northwest.  Updated geochemical maps, and a sketch map of the geology of the Scarlet East claim block, can be found on Radius’s website at www.radiusgold.com.


Radius has also commenced a low level helicopter aeromagnetic and radiometric geophysical survey that will be carried out by Precision GeoSurveys Inc.  Line spacing will be 200m oriented north - south crossing the regional trend.  Preliminary results are expected shortly.


The Scarlet East property covers what is believed to be the eastern extension of the belt of rocks that host ATAC Resources’s Osiris and Conrad discoveries northeast of Keno City in the Yukon Territory.  The Rackla Belt is a potentially major belt of Carlin-type gold mineralization.  Radius staked 320 claims covering the prospective stratigraphy along the southeast edge of ATAC’s claim block, approximately 10-30km southeast of the Osiris target.

Joint News Release


B2Gold Corp. and Radius Gold Inc. Provide Nicaragua Update:

Trebol East Trench Returns 18.00 Metres at 2.56 Grams per Tonne Gold



Vancouver, August 23, 2011 – B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO, OTCQX: BGLPF) (“B2Gold” or the “Company”) and Radius Gold Inc. (TSX-V: RDU) (“Radius Gold”), are pleased to provide an update on recent work carried out by B2Gold at their jointly owned (60% B2Gold / 40% Radius Gold) Trebol project in northeastern Nicaragua. Trebol is a low-sulphidation gold-bearing epithermal vein and breccia system characterized by shallow to moderately dipping tabular shaped vein and hydrothermal breccia zones within andesite.  


Trenching at Trebol East


Positive results have been received from recent trenching at Trebol East located 3 km east of the main Trebol trend. The low hills are comprised of the same quartz veins, hydrothermal breccias, and replacement zones, dipping moderately to the west, as seen in the main Trebol trend.


The new trench results appear to be outlining a north-south trending mineralized zone at least 1.5km long. Trench 91, which lies at the southern end of the trend, returned 18.00 metres at 2.56 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold. Roughly 1km north, Trench 93 returned 19.00 metres at 1.54 g/t gold. Trench 92, which was cut 200 metres south of Trench 91, returned 5.70 metres at 0.63 g/t gold.


Metallurgy at Trebol


Six composite metallurgical samples have been collected for bottle roll tests from the Trebol drill core, to be shipped to Kappes Cassiday and Associates in Reno, NV. The samples were selected from:


•

weakly oxidized low grade stockwork

•

weakly oxidized medium grade wallrock breccia

•

oxidized low grade wallrock breccia

•

oxidized high grade sulfide‐rich hydrothermal breccia

•

medium grade weakly oxidized hydrothermal breccias; and

•

medium grade oxidized stockwork


The samples were produced from the coarse rejects by combining three separate samples of similar material from the same drill hole, then weighted according to their percent contribution to the composite and split numerous times. The total weight of each composite sample is between 4 and 5 kilograms.


San Jose Project


B2Gold has commenced a data and ground review of Radius Golds’ San Jose project (formerly known as the San Pedro project in historic Radius Golds’ releases). Radius Gold completed a short drill program in 2005, designed to test for a bulk tonnage target on the PM zone by drilling a fence of holes across a cluster of en echelon veins.


Two drill holes were collared to test trench TR-PM2-B1 which cut 14.6 g/t gold over 3.00 metres on the PM2 vein. Radius Golds’ hole 9 was drilled beneath this and cut good grades either side of what appears to be an old working. The holes returned 17.5 g/t gold over 1.52 metres in the hanging wall of the working, and 13.0 g/t gold over 1.78 metres in the footwall. Drill hole 10 undercut this hole and returned 5.4 g/t over 3.00 metres. Radius Gold mapped the PM2 vein for over 500 metres.


Trenching suggests that good potential also exists over 800 metres along the 2 km PM1 vein and a more detailed trenching program, with trenching every 30 to 50 metres, may be warranted focusing on areas with old workings which may indicate high grade ore shoots.


Roughly 9 km south of the PM zone, the Buena Vista zone has been traced for over 2 km. Radius Golds’ best trench on this vein returned 13.81 g/t gold over 8.354 metres but this was never drill tested. B2Gold are currently planning and permitting a trenching program for San Jose.


Plans for August


Trenching and soil sampling will continue at Trebol with priority given to developing the emerging zone at Trebol East, with the aim of defining drill targets. Detailed soil sampling will also continue along the main Trebol trend as well to better define potential resource areas.


Samples for Trebol are submitted with blanks and industry certified standards inserted in the field and prior to reception at Inspectorate’s prep lab in Managua.  Pulps are then analyzed at Inspectorate’s labs in Reno, Nevada. Check assays are currently being selected now that the drilling program has been completed and will be sent to ALS labs in Vancouver, Canada.  Except where noted, all results stated in this announcement have passed B2Gold's quality assurance and quality control (“QA/QC”) protocols.
