News Release 2003-11
August 13, 2003
Radius Reports High-Grade Drill Results, Guapinol South
Radius Explorations Ltd. (Radius) is pleased to report gold results from recent drilling at the Guapinol South property, part of the Tambor joint venture project in Guatemala. Gold Fields Ltd. (Gold Fields) is the operator of the joint venture and has the right to earn a 55% interest in the property from Radius by spending US$5 million over three and a half years.
Gold Fields has been drill testing a high-grade, gold-quartz vein that returned up to 10.1m @ 31 g/t Au in Trench GP5 and 8.8m @ 20.8 g/t in Trench GP9 (see news release 2003-01 January 13, 2003). To the end of July, Gold Fields had completed 31 core holes totalling nearly 3,500m of drilling at Guapinol. A drill plan and long section can be viewed on the Radius website (www.radiusgold.com). Available assay results for the current drilling are attached in Table 1. Highlights include:
-

from 16.8m to 19.8m
Drilling at Guapinol has tested 375m of strike length and approximately 200m vertical depth. Assay results confirm the presence of significant gold mineralization associated with south-dipping, en echelon, discordant veins within a mylonitic phyllite unit, with vein widths of up to 4m. Both gold and arsenic mineralization are restricted to the quartz veins and their immediate wall rocks.
The results for holes 027, 028, 030 and 033 confirm the extension of high-grade mineralization to the east of Trench GP5, plunging to the southeast.
Radiuss President, Simon Ridgway, said Were excited to see such a high proportion of high-grade hits in the Guapinol drilling. If Poza del Coyote is included, close to 750m strike length of this vein system has been tested and there are still many high-priority soil anomalies to be addressed.
Planned Work
Gold Fields has completed the current round of drilling at Guapinol South and are awaiting final assay data before completing their interpretation of results.
A second phase of drilling (4 core holes) has begun at the high-grade Poza del Coyote vein where earlier drilling returned up to 9.1m @ 21.9g/t Au (see news release 2003-06 May 27, 2003). Drilling is also planned for the Cliff Zone, a new vein outcrop discovered between Poza del Coyote and Guapinol South. Sampling of the Cliff Zone has returned values ranging from approximately 1 g/t to 22.7 g/t Au.
In-fill soil sampling is planned for parts of the Guapinol South and North areas, and reconnaissance sampling in the GP-20, 21 and 22 trenches will be followed-up. Once further surface evaluation has been completed, drill programs are also likely for the Guapinol North zone and the western extension of Guapinol South.
A map showing Gold Fields planned work is available on the Radius website (www.radiusgold.com).

Radius Explorations Ltd.
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited Prepared by Management)
Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2003
1.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of Radius Explorations Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries located in Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama.
The interim period consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. All financial summaries included are presented on a comparative and consistent basis showing the figures for the corresponding period in the preceding year. The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These interim period statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Companys latest annual report. In the opinion of the Company, its unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustment necessary in order to present a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented.
2.
Nature of Operations
The Company was incorporated on September 9, 1997 and is or has been engaged in acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama. The amounts shown for the mineral properties represent costs incurred to date and do not reflect present or future values. The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral properties and has not yet determined whether the properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. Accordingly, the recoverability of these capitalized costs is dependant upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete their development and upon future profitable production.
3.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company grants options in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V). Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted the new CICA Handbook Section 3870 Stock-Based Compensation and Other Stock-Based Payments, which recommends the fair value-based methodology for measuring compensation costs. The new section also permits, and the Company has adopted, the use of the intrinsic value-based method, which recognizes compensation cost for awards to employees only when the market price exceeds the exercise price at date of grant, but requires pro-forma disclosure of earnings and earnings per share as if the fair value method had been adopted.
4.
Loss Per Share
The basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The fully diluted loss per share is not presented as it would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company uses the settlement method of accounting for share options granted to directors, officers and employees. If the fair value method had been used to determine compensation cost for share options granted after January 1, 2002 to directors, officers and employees, the Companys net loss and loss per share for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 would have been as follows:
As Reported | Fair Value of Options Granted | Pro-Forma | |
Net Loss | $ (365,730) | $ 852,472 | $ (1,218,202) |
Basic Loss per share | $ (0.01) | $ (0.04) |
A non-cash compensation charge of $22,169, associated with the granting of options to a consultant, has been recognized in the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The compensation charge associated with directors and employees options in the amount of $852,431 is not recognized in the financial statements, but included in the pro forma amounts below. These compensation charges have been determined under the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Risk Free interest rate | 2.25% |
Expected stock price volatility | 90.5% |
Expected term in years | 5 |
Expected dividend yield | 0.0% |

Segmented Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operation decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. All of the Companys operations are within the mining sector relating to gold exploration. Due to the geographic and political diversity, the Companys exploration operations are decentralized whereby exploration managers are responsible for business results and regional corporate offices provide support to the exploration programs in addressing local and regional issues. The Companys operations are therefore segmented on a district basis. The Companys resource properties are located in Guatemala and Nicaragua.
Details of identifiable assets by geographic segments are as follows:

SCHEDULE C MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(for the six month period ended June 30, 2003)
Radius Explorations Ltd. is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties in Central America and has a portfolio of projects in Guatemala and Nicaragua.
In the second quarter of 2003, joint venture partners Gold Fields Ltd (Gold Fields) and Pillar Resources Inc (Pillar) conducted extensive drill programs on Radiuss Guatemalan properties. Gold Fields drilled more than 30 holes on the Poza Del Coyote and Guapinol gold occurrences. Pillar drilled roughly 20 holes in total at the Lantiquin, Holly and Cerro T properties. In Nicaragua, Radius continues to conduct grass-roots exploration in the search for new gold mineralized systems.
Tambor Joint Venture (Radius / Gold Fields)
Gold Fields continues drilling on the Tambor properties in Central Guatemala. Ten holes were completed at Pozo De Coyote (835 m) which returned a best intersection of 9.1 m @ 21.9 g/t Au, including 2.3 m @ 81.9 g/t Au (PRRC-03-008). This high-grade interval is close to the mineralization encountered in trench GP-29 that yielded gold assays up to 370.6 g/t Au in association with arsenopyrite-bearing quartz veining. Interpretation of the drilling indicates that the principal quartz vein system trends approximately east-west with a moderate to steep northerly dip.
After completing the Coyote drilling, Gold Fields began a lengthy drill campaign at Guapinol. At least 20 holes had been completed by the end of the second quarter with drilling expected to continue until well into Q3. Results were released following the quarter end and again several high-grade intersections in east-west striking veins indicate potential for a mineable reserve.
Marimba Joint Venture (Radius / Pillar)
Pillar drilled 10 core holes at Marimba during May on the north face of the Cerro T hill. Three holes were also completed at the Lantiquin Zone where rock-chip sampling in a road cut returned an average of 300 ppb Au over 500 m. The drilling tested this zone at depth. A man-portable core rig was used to minimize environmental impacts.
At Cerro T, six holes were drilled over an area of 200 m by 200 m to test the grade and thickness of the gold-bearing discovery breccia. Holes MDD 006 to MDD 009 returned remarkably consistent gold grades, and the weighted average of the four intersections is 1.18 g/t Au over 20.3 m. Four holes were drilled 550 m to the east of the discovery breccia. Of these, hole MDD 013, at the south end of the fence, returned an average of 2.6 g/t Au over 8.3 m in mineralized breccia. Drilling has now confirmed the continuity of the gold-bearing breccias at Cerro T over an approximate strike length of 700 m.
Preliminary metallurgical test work by Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver indicates that the mineralized silicified breccia horizon will be readily amenable to conventional heap leach extraction.
A second stage program is being planned with an aim of establishing a near-surface oxide gold reserve. Drilling is planned to start early September.
The Holly / Banderas Joint Venture (Radius / Pillar)
Pillar completed some RC drilling at the Holly property to follow up drilling completed by Radius in 2002. The results were disappointing and the high-grade intersections first obtained by Radius did not continue to depth. However, several new high-grade vein discoveries were made within the Banderas portion of the property. Extensive trenching was completed during the quarter and a limited drill program is planned to test these new discoveries.
Grass roots exploration continues in Nicaragua with several promising areas developing.
Results of Operations
The Company reported a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003 of $365,730, compared to $238,691 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Significant items comprising the 2003 loss include $100,244 for public relations, $74,065 for salaries, $59,081 for travel and accommodation, and $30,355 in foreign exchange loss. The 2002 net loss included $114,633 for salaries, $30,000 for consulting fees, $23,740 for public relations, and $23,482 for rent and utilities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2003, $369,010 was spent on exploration of the Companys mineral properties, of which $187,883 was incurred in Guatemala and $181,127 in Nicaragua.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Outlook
As at June 30, 2003, the Company had working capital of $2,810,625, compared to $2,191,500 as at December 31, 2002. In January 2003, the Company completed a $500,000 million private placement financing of 1.0 million units at $0.50 each, and during the six months ended June 30, 2003, warrants and stock options were exercised for a total of $2.78 million.
Management expects that the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its corporate and exploration commitments over the next 12 months. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of exploration and development activity. Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the long term, but recognizes the uncertainty attached thereto. The Company continues to use various strategies to minimize its dependence on equity capital, including the securing of joint venture partners where appropriate.
