Vancouver, British Columbia – Radius Gold Inc. (TSXV: RDU) (“Radius” or the “Company”) provides an update on the application process for the Amalia 4 mining concession and announces it has filed a legal demand with a Federal Mexican Court to obtain title to the Amalia 4 concession.
The Company’s Amalia project consists of 1,137 ha of core granted licenses and an 8,590 ha Amalia 4 claim application. Radius and project JV partner Pan American Silver Corp. have completed all the requirements, fee payments and surveys for the Amalia 4 application. The mining authority of Chihuahua has processed and approved the submission without fault and passed the license to the Mexico Mining Directorate proposing title issuance. The regulated time for the mining authority to comment and request revision has passed and granting of title is a legal requirement under the mining law. Radius has filed a legal demand to enforce the granting of title. Radius legal counsel believes the Company has clear legal right to the application and title. Legal counsel has been successful in obtaining granted concessions in similar situations recently.
