Assays at Santa Elena mine show an average 5 g/t Au and 18 g/t Ag

“To say I’m excited about this assay would be an understatement. This result confirms what we had already stated- the Julio vein is rich in gold! The results from this vein will fluctuate but it’s important to keep in mind that we will also be digging in high grade zones as we work the shear wall. Getting Cesar involved is a real game changer for all as he knows this property extremely well. I would also like to add that our investors need to focus on our press releases for a source of information. Anything else is speculation or has been extrapolated from conversations I may have had.” added CEO Paul Thompson.

Pete Dougherty, President & CEO commented: “Drilling results in both the North and South Target areas, along with the known wedges of economic mineralization that were unavailable to us prior to the Fresnillo concession purchase by reason of mineral concession boundary alone, indicate strong potential to expand the current pit limits and extend mine life.

Riverside Moves Forward with 100% Ownership Interest in the Thor Copper Project, Sonora, Mexico

Riverside Resources Inc. has regained a 100% interest in the Thor Copper Project, as the Company’s joint-venture partner, a subsidiary of Antofagasta plc, has elected not to complete the C$5M in exploration expenditure required to earn a 65% interest in the Project. The Thor Copper Project is located in north-eastern Sonora along the main copper producing belt of Mexico. Riverside and Antofagasta completed an initial proof-of-concept drill program to test for a Laramide aged porphyry-intrusive system. The first four drill holes ever drilled at Thor confirmed the concept, with three of the four drill holes intersecting a large Laramide-aged porphyry style quartz-sericite-pyrite stockwork system. The initial drill holes did not return sufficient gold or copper assays for partner Antofagasta to continue, but the limited drilling that was completed was successful in hitting alteration and providing support for further exploration.
