Junior exploration roundup

Vancouver-based Radius Gold (TSX-V: RDU) has announced the results from recent drilling at its 100% owned El Pavon project in Nicaragua. Highlights include 16.8m grading 10.3g/t of gold and 5.8m grading 11.3g/t of gold from holes located 4km apart in the same mineralized structure. *** A trenching and sampling program at Vancouver-based Sonora Gold's San Enrique property in Sonora State, Mexico is one third complete, the company said. Roads access has been established to the gold, copper, and molybdenum anomalies discovered by the previous owners and trenching has been taking place since September 1. The 1st shipment of 81 trench samples was delivered on September 11 to ALS Chemex for processing in Hermosillo, Sonara State, with final assaying to be completed in Vancouver. A full report on the mineable reserves is expected in early October. *** Vancouver-based Golden Peaks Resources (TSX-V:GL) has uncovered a new mineralization zone on its 100% owned La Fortuna polymetallic project in Argentina's Chubut province, the company said. The new structure falls 6km south of the property's A structure and 4km south of the CR structure. Reconnaissance sampling has returned 3.88g/t gold, 22.0g/t silver, 15.0ppm arsenic, 4ppm mercury and 10.0ppm antimony over 1.0m plus 2.15g/t gold, 10.1g/t silver, 14.0ppm arsenic and 16.0ppm antimony over 0.5m. To identify drill targets, Golden Peaks aims to perform further mapping and sampling at the zone plus ground magnetics and induced polarization/resistivity surveys, the company said. Golden Peaks controls four gold exploration projects covering 65,500ha in four Argentine provinces.
