Riverside Resources Inc. is pleased to announce the initiation of the 2014 drilling program to explore the San Rafael silver-gold system and outlying early stage gold-silver zones, which were recently delineated during regional reconnaissance mineral exploration.

Previous drill programs have focused on the Jesus Maria silver vein system and the Capitan gold zone, so the drilling of new, untested target areas during the current program has the potential to expand on the known mineralization and add significant value to the Peñoles Project.
