Radius Gold Inc.
Radius Gold Inc. (TSXV: RDU) is an exploration company focused on gold, silver and copper projects in the Americas. Its most advanced asset is a 40% joint-venture interest in the Holly gold-silver project in Guatemala, where Volcanic Gold Mines completed its earn-in in August 2024; Holly's Pena vein hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.32Mt at 6.46 g/t Au and 256 g/t Ag, but drilling is halted until the partners regain the social licence to drill. Radius holds 35% of the Amalia gold-silver project in Mexico after Pan American Silver earned 65%. In Peru it received authorization on 7 October 2026 to begin exploration and drilling at its Tierra Roja copper project in Arequipa, and in July 2026 it signed an option to acquire 100% of the Jonco silver project; an August 2026 private placement of $1.2 million funds this work.
Notable vs. Peers
- Jurisdiction risk score of 4/10 is meaningfully riskier than the peer average of 7.8/10.
Lifecycle Milestones
Combined view across 2 projects. Figures below are only combined where the underlying basis genuinely matches -- see the notes under each.
Jurisdiction (40%)4/10
Guatemala carries real security and permitting-continuity risk for mining projects, the same considerations that affect the Holly project specifically.
Infrastructure (40%)No verified figure
Researched with nothing found: no source we could cite confirms or rules out an existing mill, road access, grid power, or tailings facility at Holly (checked Oct 2, 2026; recheck due Mar 31, 2027). Counts at a neutral 5/10 until one does.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No project coordinates on file yet, so distance to a producing mine can't be measured.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.
Weight 25% - Distance to a producing mineSub-score: Not yet researched
Distance not yet researched: no project coordinates on file
Distance can't be measured without coordinates, so excluded rather than counted as far.
Weight 22.5% - Lifecycle stageSub-score:3.5/10
Stage: Resource Definition
Feasibility and permitting score 10, where deals cluster, and production 5.5; earlier stages score less, down to 1 at grassroots.

EuroPac Gold Fund and U.S. Global Investors' World Precious Minerals Fund, both real specialists, hold small stakes. Two directors have bought on the open market repeatedly through 2026, with no selling on record.
