Riverside Resources (TSX VENTURE:RRI)(OTC PINK:RVSDF)(FRANKFURT:R99) is pleased to provide an overview of the Company’s accomplishments achieved during 2016. This past year has been an up and down year for the junior resource sector with the underlying metals prices fluctuating significantly. Riverside has been successful in delivering a number of milestones without company share dilution, while still maintaining a strong corporate treasury.
The list below outlines some of the key outcomes from 2016:
  • Completed two-phase partner-funded exploration program at the Company’s Thor Copper Project in Sonora, Mexico (partner: Antofagasta Minerals Plc.).
  • Drilled ~1,200 metres at the Thor Project, with results expected in early 2017.
  • Drilled multiple 6 g/t Au intercepts at the Tajitos Gold Project (available for option).
  • Signed an Option Agreement with Centerra Gold Inc. to advance the Company’s Glor Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico.
  • Completed significant partner-funded exploration work at Glor including: soil geochemistry, ground magnetics surveys, rock-chip sampling and trenching. Exploration results will be released in early 2017 with drilling expected to follow.
  • Sold 3,000,000 Croesus Gold Corp shares for $650,000 in cash proceeds, while still retaining a strong share position and NSR on the Sugarloaf Peak Gold Project.
  • Signed an option agreement with Silver Viper Minerals Corp. to advance the Company’s Clemente Project in Sonora, Mexico.
  • Staked and acquired the Ariel Copper Project in Sonora, Mexico (available for option).
  • Re-acquired a 100% interest in the Company’s Penoles Project, which was advanced with ~10,000 metres of drilling and an initial 43-101 inferred resource estimate while under partnership (available for option).
  • Staked and acquired additional concessions in Mexico (titles pending).
  • Sampled up to 7.24 g/t Au during initial exploration efforts at the Company’s La Silla Project in Sinaloa, Mexico.
  • Appointed two new directors (Carol Ellis and Walter Henry) and appointed new VP, Exploration (Ron Burk).

Riverside delivered multiple exploration programs, drill campaigns and new partnerships and will conclude the 2016 calendar year with roughly the same cash position ($3.5M) and same share count (less than 37.5M outstanding) that the Company started the year with.
President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “We are pleased with the progress of our Prospect Generator business and excited at the prospects for a new discovery and further value creation and portfolio strengthening in 2017. The Thor, Glor and Clemente projects will all deliver partner funded activity, with results from at least two drill programs in the year ahead. We will layout our goals early in 2017 and have the team in place pushing for transformational mineral discoveries. Riverside is in a much better place entering 2017 than a year ago and we are keen to capitalize on the momentum with several catalysts early in 2017.”
