RDU Radius Gold Inc

VANCOUVER, Nov. 25 /PRNewswire/ - Radius Gold Inc. (TSX-V: RDU) is pleased to announce that it recently staked 230 claims covering the eastern extension of the belt of rocks that host ATAC Resources' Osiris discovery, contiguous with ATAC's Sten claim block, northeast of Keno City in the Yukon Territory of northern Canada.  Radius also staked 320 claims covering the prospective stratigraphy along the northern edge of ATAC's claim block, midway between the Osiris and Ariana targets.

ATAC has discovered a potentially major belt of Carlin-type gold mineralization at their RAU property. According to ATAC, mineralization in the 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.

Radius plans to begin exploration of its ATAC-belt claims when weather conditions allow in the spring.

Radius recently announced a non-brokered private placement to a maximum of 5.8 million flow-through common shares at 65 cents per share, for gross proceeds of up to $3.77-million. Closing of the financing is anticipated to occur on or before Dec. 6, 2010, and is subject to receipt of TSX Venture Exchange acceptance. The net proceeds of the financing will be used for exploration of the Company's Sixty Mile property in Yukon Territory and its other Yukon properties.
