Riverside Resources Inc. is pleased to provide an update on the status of its option agreement with partner Sierra Madre Developments Inc. for the Company’s Peñoles Project. In 2011, Riverside and Sierra Madre entered into an option agreement whereby Sierra Madre could earn an initial 51%. To-date, Riverside has received $2,100,000 in cash and shares from Sierra Madre, which helped cover Riverside’s exploration investment costs. Sierra Madre also incurred more than $3,000,000 in drilling and exploration expenditures. The remaining requirements to earn 51% include a payment of $1,350,000 in cash, $1,500,000 in shares and $750,000 in further exploration expenditures.

Almaden Minerals Ltd. is pleased to announce the results from Almaden’s ongoing 2013 Ixtaca Zone drill program at the Company’s 100% owned Tuligtic project, Mexico. Almaden has commenced an infill drilling program with three of the four rigs currently drilling on the project. The infill program has been designed to upgrade resources currently in the inferred category to the higher confidence measured and indicated categories. At the same time one drill rig is focussed on step out drilling to expand the resource. The holes announced today show the continuity of high-grade gold silver veining in the east-west Northern zone defined with previous drilling.

The Company reports that its field crews have made a discovery on its 100% owned El Cobre property Sonora, Mexico. The new Sierra Target consists of hydrothermal breccias, with diatreme characteristics and occurs in Miocene volcanic units at an elevation of some 700 meters above, and further to the West of Westminster’s Montoso porphyry system currently being explored under option by Capstone Mining Corp. Seventeen hand samples were collected and assayed using various ore grade methods which determined an average grade of 4.8% copper, 101 g/t silver (400 g/t cutoff) and 4.4 g/t gold. The slabbed rock samples contained no obvious sulphides but were rich in barium and iron (hematite ranging from about 3% to 12% Fe). The accompanying table shows the highest contents of silver assayed 1,479 g/t (47.4 oz/t), gold 21.79 g/t (0.69 oz/t) and copper 10.2% with these values reported from 3 different samples. These breccias also appear to be rich in bismuth, mercury and tungsten and represent a new deposit type for the Company’s Sonora properties.
