Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “Our drilling at the Puerto El Alamo target with partner Centerra explored for low-angle shear structures similar in nature to those controlling the El Chanate and other multi-million ounce gold deposits in Sonora. We are disappointed given all of the positive geologic and geochemical indications that we did not hit a gold-rich structure, but we still believe the project holds excellent exploration potential.
