Radius Explorations Ltd.
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited Prepared by Management)
Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 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, 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 Guatemala, 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 the 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.
4.
Loss Per Share
The basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The fully diluted loss per share is not presented as it would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company uses the settlement method of accounting for share options granted to directors, officers and employees. If the fair value method had been used to determine compensation cost for share options granted after January 1, 2002 to directors, officers and employees, the Companys net loss and loss per share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 would have been as follows:
As Reported | Fair Value of Options Granted | Pro-Forma | |
Net Loss | $ (566,553) | $ (1,074,583) | $ (1,641,136) |
Basic Loss per share | $ (0.02) | $ (0.06) |
A non-cash compensation charge of $22,169, associated with the granting of options to a consultant, has been recognized in the financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. The compensation charge associated with directors and employees options in the amount of $1,074,583 is not recognized in the financial statements, but included in the pro forma amounts below. These compensation charges have been determined under the fair value method using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Risk Free interest rate | 2.25% |
Expected stock price volatility | 85.82% |
Expected term in years | 5 |
Expected dividend yield | 0.0% |

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 exploration operations are decentralized whereby exploration managers are responsible for business results and regional corporate offices provide support to the exploration programs 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:

SCHEDULE C MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003)
Radius Explorations Ltd. is in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties in Central America and has a portfolio of projects in Nicaragua and Guatemala.
Property Review
Nicaragua
In September 2003, Radius announced the discovery of the El Pavon gold vein system in Nicaragua. The vein system is a grass-roots, low sulphidation epithermal discovery on a wholly-owned Radius concession. To date, two veins - Pavon South and Pavon North - have been located within a 5 km by 2.5 km area. Seven reconnaissance hand-trenches have been dug across the veins; two at Pavon North and five at Pavon South, returning a best section of 8.4 m @ 21.7 g/t gold which includes 4.9 m @ 34.7 g/t gold.
The veins are hosted by a series of intermediate to felsic volcanic rocks in rolling, easily accessible terrain. An all-season road cuts the area. Outcrop in the area of the discovery is sparse, and trenching or pitting through extensive soil development was used to trace veins.
In addition to the Pavon North and South veins, a series of mineralized zones were exposed in other reconnaissance trenches while tracing the main high grade vein: all of the trenches returned anomalous gold values. Additional sub-parallel veins are known to occur 2 km to the west of the Pavon trend and follow-up work is on going.
Tambor Joint Venture (Radius / Gold Fields)
Gold Fields completed their drill program on the Tambor properties in Central Guatemala a high-grade, gold-quartz vein that returned up to 10.1m @ 31 g/t Au in trenching. A total of 5,818m were drilled in 54 holes during 2003 on the Poza Del Coyote and Guapinol South projects; 4,370m in 39 holes at Guapinol South and the balance at Coyote.
The most recent assay results include highlights of:
- PRDD-03-033 5.3m @ 80.5 g/t Au from 74.7m to 80.0m
- PRDD-03-027 4.6m @ 45.5 g/t Au from 28.9m to 33.5m
- PRDD-03-022 6.1m @ 14.0 g/t Au from 99.1m to 105.2m
- PRDD-03-021 6.3m @ 9.9 g/t Au from 57.3m to 63.6m
- PRDD-03-039 3.0m @ 17.8 g/t Au from 16.8m to 19.8m
Drilling at Guapinol has tested 375m of strike length and approximately 200m vertical depth. Assay results confirm the presence of significant gold mineralization associated with south-dipping, en echelon, discordant veins within a mylonitic phyllite unit, with vein widths of up to 4m. Both gold and arsenic mineralization are restricted to the quartz veins and their immediate wall rocks.
At the end of Q3, Gold Fields were evaluating the drill data and preparing an in-house resource calculation for Guapinol and Coyote. In October, Radius announced that it had reached agreement with Gold Fields to purchase their interest in the Tambor joint venture for 1.3-million Radius shares subject to TSX-Venture Exchange acceptance. Radius is currently evaluating a number of options to take the Tambor properties forward.
Marimba Joint Venture (Radius / PilaGold)
In March 2003 PilaGold Inc. (formerly Pillar Resources Inc.) carried out first-pass drilling of the Cerro T and Lantiquin gold targets on the Marimba land package. At Cerro T, drilling cut gold-bearing breccias along a strike length of over 700m, returning intercepts ranging from 2.6 g/t Au over 8.3m at the eastern end to 1.3 g/t Au over 22.9m on the western end. Initial metallurgical test work indicates that the breccias will be readily amenable to conventional heap leach extraction.
A second-stage drill program at Cerro T began in September to establish an oxide, near surface gold resource and to extend the known strike length of the gold mineralization further to the east. Eleven holes were completed for a total of 1,035m on 6 section lines. At the time of writing the results were pending.
At Lantiquin, three holes were drilled during Q2 2003 into a broad, low-grade shear zone returning significantly better grades than those seen at surface in early stage sampling. A second-phase program began in late September to further test the strike and depth extent of the intersections obtained in the first round. Three holes were drilled on 2 section lines for a total 722m of core drilling. Final assay results are expected in the late Fall.
The Banderas Joint Venture (Radius / PilaGold)
PilaGold continued its work at the Banderas property. Prospecting and trenching extended the known strike length of epithermal vein mineralization by 600 m. A low angle vein (dipping 40º west), averaging 2-6 m in thickness, was located and trenched at the north-east end of the Banderas soil anomaly. Similar banded, high-grade, Au/Ag quartz veins identified in float and outcrop elsewhere on the property were also trenched.
Gold and silver assay results from recent trenching returned best sections in trenches 002 and 003 of 4.4 m @ 13.1 g/t Au equivalent and 3.5 m @ 16.9 g/t Au equivalent respectively. Initial geological interpretation suggests that at least 2 separate veins have been exposed in the trenches.
Preliminary petrographic examination of vein material from Banderas, carried out at the University of British Columbia, identified mineralogical and textural evidence which suggest that the Banderas veins are at a relatively high level in the mineralizing system, with good potential for the mineralized horizon to extend to deeper levels.
PilaGold began a first phase drill program at Banderas in late Q3, consisting of 10 holes testing the M28 and PH veins. Results are expected sometime during Q4.
Results of Operations
The Company reported a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 of $566,553, compared to $379,119 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Significant items comprising the 2003 loss include $214,875 for public relations, $120,525 for salaries, and $67,126 for travel and accommodation. The public relations expenses include $86,344 for promotional mailouts, $53,578 for presentations to shareholders and promotional travel, $52,020 for conference registrations and brochure printing, and $12,372 for advertising. The 2002 net loss included $147,283 for salaries, $61,953 for public relations, and $45,000 for consulting fees.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, approximately $667,900 was spent on exploration of the Companys mineral properties, of which and $341,400 in Nicaragua and $326,500 was incurred in Guatemala.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Outlook
As at September 30, 2003, the Company had working capital of $5,521,130, compared to $2,191,500 as at December 31, 2002. In January 2003, the Company completed a $500,000 private placement financing of 1.0 million units at $0.50 each, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, warrants and stock options were exercised for a total of $5.53 million. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company sold by private placement 6,545,000 units at $1.50 per unit, for gross proceeds of $9,817,500.
Management expects that the Company will have sufficient working capital to meet its corporate and exploration commitments over the next 24 months. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of exploration and development activity. Management believes it will be able to raise equity capital as required in the long term, but recognizes the uncertainty attached thereto. The Company continues to use various strategies to minimize its dependence on equity capital, including the securing of joint venture partners where appropriate.
