2026-11-10 06:00 ET - News Release

(via TheNewswire)

Radius Gold Inc.

November 10, 2026 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia – Radius Gold Inc. (TSXV: RDU) (“Radius” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the El Cancel mining concession in the Municipality of Guadalupe y Calvo, Chihuahua, Mexico.

El Cancel Concession

The El Cancel concession covers approximately 761 hectares and is located immediately to the north of the Company’s current Amalia concessions ( Figure 1 ). Rock samples taken of veins within the concession returned elevated gold and silver grades (>1 g/t Au and >10 g/t Ag), similar to surface samples from the veins that have been drilled at Amalia.

Limited sampling indicates NW- to NNW-trending structures within El Cancel, with orientations similar to those drilled on the Amalia Project. At Amalia, significant results have included:

  • Amalia vein: 44 m @ 12.39 g/t Au and 309 g/t Ag (AMDD19-010); 5 m @ 14.71 g/t Au and 1,378 g/t Ag (AMDD18-009)  

  • California vein: 26.9 m @ 2.59 g/t Au and 353 g/t Ag (AMDD21-039); individual samples up to 33.1 g/t Au and 4,210 g/t Ag  

  • El Cuervo vein: 13.55 m @ 10.25 g/t Au and 841 g/t Ag (AMDD22-066); 96 m @ 0.54 g/t Au and 167 g/t Ag (AMDD21-047)  

Several undrilled extensions of these Amalia structures remain to be tested.

Transaction Terms

Under the agreement, Radius (through its Mexican subsidiary, Geometales del Norte – Geonorte, S.A. de C.V.) has the exclusive right to option and explore the property for three years. The Company may terminate the agreement at any time on 30 days’ notice.

To earn a 100% interest, the Company must:

  • Pay outstanding mining duties for the property in the amount of approximately US$90,000.  

  • Make cash payments to the property owner totaling US$250,000, as follows:  

    • US$50,000 at 12 months  

    • US$75,000 at 24 months  

    • US$125,000 at 36 months  

  • Incur exploration expenditures of US$100,000 in Year 1 and US$250,000 in Year 2.  

Upon exercise of the option, the vendor will retain a 1% net smelter return (NSR) royalty. The Company has the right, at its sole discretion, to purchase 0.5% of the NSR for US$1,000,000 within four years of completing the transfer of the 100% interest. The remaining 0.5% NSR is not subject to a buyout right.

Additional payments to the vendor of US$150,000 are due upon public disclosure of a NI 43-101 (or equivalent) Indicated and Measured mineral resource, and a further US$150,000 upon disclosure of a Proven and Probable mineral reserve.

The Company will also be responsible for maintaining the concession in good standing during the term of the agreement.

The option agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including ratification before a Mexican notary and registration with the Public Mining Registry. Notarization has been arranged in Parral, Chihuahua.  The Company is also under the obligation to present this property to Pan American Silver Corp. for possible inclusion in the existing Amalia Project agreement between the Company and Pan American as it is within the area of influence. If Pan American declines to include El Cancel in the Amalia agreement, Radius will have sole rights and interest in the El Cancel concession.  As the operator of the Amalia joint venture, Pan American has done no material work on the Amalia properties since 2023.  

Simon Ridgway, Radius CEO, commented: “ I am excited to get back in this district again. We have proven the district can produce bonanza grades over very mineable widths following up on minor showings at surface. With minimal work we have identified showings at El Cancel that certainly warrant follow-up.”
