VANCOUVER, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Radius Gold Inc. (TSX-V: RDU) is pleased to announce that it has granted to Wesgold Minerals Inc. an option to earn a 60% interest in Radius' 100% owned Snowcap project in central Yukon Territory. Wesgold is a private B.C. company which intends to apply for a listing on the TSX Venture Exchange.
In order to exercise the option, Wesgold must incur an aggregate of $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the property and issue to Radius a total of 1,000,000 Wesgold shares according to the following schedule:
Due date Shares Expenditures

"Optioning this newly acquired property to Wesgold provides excellent leverage to our shareholders," said Simon Ridgway, President of Radius. "Wesgold is going to complete an aggressive exploration program with skilled personnel at no cost to Radius, while providing us with a significant retained interest."
It is a further condition of the agreement that Wesgold obtain a public listing on the TSX Venture Exchange by May 1, 2010. Once Wesgold has completed its share payments and exploration expenditures, Wesgold and Radius will enter into a 60/40 joint venture to further explore and develop the property.
Wesgold intends to carry out a low-level, high resolution, multi-sensor airborne geophysical survey to map lithological units, structure, and alteration zones at Snowcap. In addition, Wesgold will carry out deep soil sampling to confirm and enhance gold and mercury soil anomalies identified in the 1980's that occur close to a complex sequence of chalcedonic tuffs and phreatic breccias with sinter clasts associated with Tertiary felsic volcanic centres along a 15 kilometre long structural trend. Both Radius and Wesgold consider the known geological and geochemical setting as highly favourable for the location of low-sulfidation, structurally controlled, epithermal gold mineralization.
