Phase 1 Drill Results from the Marimba Project, Guatemala
Pillar intersects gold-bearing breccias over 700m strike length at Marimba
Vancouver, June 16 - Radius Explorations Ltd. (Radius) and Pillar Resources Inc. (Pillar) are pleased to report gold results for the first phase of diamond drilling at the Cerro T and Lantiquin zones on the Marimba project in eastern Guatemala.
To date, the drilling has confirmed the continuity of the gold-bearing breccias at Cerro T over an approximate strike length of 700m. Drill hole intercepts within the gold-mineralized breccia range from 2.6 g/t Au over 8.3m at the eastern end of the current drilling to 1.3 g/t Au over 22.9m on the western end. Summary results are tabulated below and a drill plan showing collar locations is available on the Radius and Pillar web sites (see below).
A second phase of drilling will commence at Cerro T in July with the objective of outlining potential for 15 to 20 million tonnes of open-pit, heap-leachable oxide ore. There are strong geological similarities between Cerro T and the low-grade (0.77g/t Au) San Martin gold deposit in Honduras. San Martin is being mined by Glamis Gold and produced nearly 130,000 ounces of gold at a total cash cost of US$106 per ounce during 2002.
In total, 1,408m of core drilling was completed at Marimba in 16 holes during March and April using a light weight, man-portable rig to reduce environmental impacts and increase community work opportunities.
Cerro T
At Cerro T, six holes (MDD 006 to 010 and MDD 015) were drilled over an area of 200m by 200m to test the grade and thickness of the gold-bearing discovery breccia previously exposed by trenching. 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 metres.
An additional fence of four holes (MDD 011 to 014) was drilled 550m 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 8.3m in mineralized breccia. This is interpreted to be an extension of the mineralization intersected in holes MDD 006 to 009. A gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly suggests the breccia has a minimum strike length of 1,200m.
The silicified breccia trends roughly 060º, dips moderately to the north, and is hosted by massive limestones close to the contact with underlying limey shales. The breccia shows evidence of both structurally controlled and bedding replacement styles of epithermal mineralization.
Lantiquin
At Lantiquin, 1.5km to the east of Cerro-T, initial drilling suggests that gold grades are increasing with depth. Three holes (MDD 001, 002 and 005) were drilled along 200m of strike length of a broad shear zone to test for increasing gold grades at depth and/or along strike within silicified structures. Results indicate multiple zones of >1 g/t Au over widths of up to 10m, significantly better grades than those seen in surface sampling of this same zone. Additional drilling is planned to further test the zone down dip and along strike.
The mineralization at Lantiquin consists of quartz-carbonate stockworks and steeply north dipping, 060º trending silicified structures exposed in road cuts, within a broad area of anomalous (300ppb Au) limey shale and greenstone wall rocks. These structures appear to be the western extension of the same fault system that passes through the Cerro T area.
Project Background
At Marimba, Pillar has identified a gold-bearing epithermal alteration system extending over an area of 18 square kilometres, hosted within a dilation zone of the regional Jocotan fault system. Over 40 active and paleo-hot spring systems have been mapped in the area. Gold-silver mineralization is related to rhyolite domes and associated epithermal and hot-springs style mineralized systems, and occurs in a variety of altered units including silicified schists and jasperoidal (silica replaced) limestones. Exploration of the property is on-going with several significant gold-in-soil anomalies still to be tested.
Pillar Resources Inc. is earning a 60% interest in the Marimba Project from Radius. To exercise the option, Pillar must spend CAD$2.5 million in exploration expenditures on the Project over three years. Once Pillar has acquired the 60% interest, Radius has the right to require Pillar to purchase the remaining 40% of the Project held by Radiuss subsidiary in consideration for a 40% equity interest in Pillar. Pillar has also agreed to honour a right of first refusal held by Gold Fields Exploration B.V. pursuant to a prior agreement between Radius and Gold Fields, which requires that if Pillar proposes to transfer any of its interest in the Marimba Project to a third party, it must first offer to transfer such interest to Gold Fields.
QA / QC
Core was logged, sawn and sampled under the direct supervision of Peter Thiersch, M.Sc. P.Geo. who is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the design and management of the drill program. Core samples were crushed and split at Inspectorate Laboratories preparation lab in Guatemala part of the BSi Inspectorate group. Pulps were analyzed by FA/AA techniques at Inspectorates Reno, Nevada facility. Field blanks were inserted by Pillar on site, and approximately 10% of the core was selected for re-assay by Inspectorate. It is important to note that anomalous values were returned by Inspectorate from some of the blank samples submitted into the sample stream. Therefore, all mineralized intervals were check assayed at Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver, BC., and Acmes results are quoted in this release. Mineralized intervals were calculated using a 0.30 g/t Au cut-off.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited Prepared by Management)
Three Month Period Ended March 31, 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, Mexico, 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 that 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.

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 mining operations are decentralized whereby Mine General Managers are responsible for business results and regional corporate offices provide support to the mines 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:
Total Assets | Capital Assets | Deferred Exploration Costs | |

SCHEDULE C MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(for the three month period ended March 31, 2003)
Radius Explorations Ltd. is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties in Central America and has a portfolio of joint venture projects in Guatemala, with sole-funded exploration underway in Nicaragua.
At the end of 2002, we decided that a shift in strategy was appropriate to ensure that our shareholders get the maximum leverage from our experience base. We now complete only as much exploration work on each project as is necessary to attract a joint venture partner. The detailed exploration drilling and project development is left to our partners. And in line with this thinking, we have now joint-ventured our entire portfolio of projects in Guatemala, and will find partners to invest in any new discoveries in Guatemala and Nicaragua as they are made.
Tambor Joint Venture (Radius / Gold Fields)
In January, we reported results from a scout-drilling program at the La Laguna North and Guapinol South target areas within the Tambor Joint Venture ground. Significant highlights include results from La Laguna North where a steeply dipping, SW plunging, quartz lode was intersected in holes BVRC-02-002, 0015 and 0017. Hole BVRC-02-002 returned 18.3 metres of 8.2 g/t Au and hole BVRC-02-0015 cut the zone 100 metres down dip, returning 18.3 metres of 12.2 g/t Au. The third hole drilled on section (BVRC-02-0017) returned significant values from two discrete zones (3.1m of 5.6 g/t; 13.7m of 2.2 g/t) contained within a 53 metre interval of strong quartz veining and disseminated arsenopyrite. Mineralization at La Laguna North has now been confirmed over a down-dip interval of 200 metres with the system open down dip and along strike. Gold Fields is planning a second stage of drilling for the second quarter of 2003.
A recent development on the property is the discovery of high-grade, quartz vein hosted mineralization associated with abundant visible gold at an area known as Guapinol South. Reconnaissance manual trenching has returned values up to 10.1 metres of 31 g/t Au in trench GP-5 and 8.8 metres of 20.8 g/t in trench GP-9.
The Holly Property, Guatemala: New Joint Venture
At the end of 2002 we were reviewing options for advancing the Holly prospect in Guatemala. The property was subsequently joint ventured to Pillar Resources Inc. (Pillar) in early 2003.
