RIVERSIDE ANNOUNCES EXPLORATION RESULTS FROM $400,000 PARTNER-
FUNDED PROGRAM AT THE GLOR GOLD PROJECT
February 15, 2017 – Vancouver, BC: Riverside Resources Inc. (“Riverside” or the
“Company”) (TSX -V: RRI), is pleased to report on the progress of the partner -funded
exploration program being conducted with Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra ”) at the Glor Gold
Project (the “Project”), located approximately 8 km west of Alamos Gold’s El Chanate Mine in
Sonora, Mexico. Between August 2016 and the end of last year, a number of programs of
geophysical and geochemical surveying were completed along with geological mapping .
Expenditures on these exploration programs amounted to approximately US$400,000 and were
entirely funded by Centerra as part of its earn-in requirements (see R iverside press release dated
July 28, 2016) . The results of the 2016 soil and rock sampling programs are very encouraging,
having defined multiple gold targets in the north -eastern, central and western parts of the Glor
property.
The 2016 exploration programs included ge ological mapping at a 1:5,000 scale, a 37.7 line-
kilometre induced polarization survey and a 136 line-kilometre ground magnetic s survey. In
addition, 926 soil samples, 341 rock chip samples and 1,468 saw-cut channel samples were
collected and analysed . Shallow trenches with a combined length of more than 1,200 metres
were excavated with a small backhoe machine as part of the rock sampling program (34 of 430
channel-cut samples (8%) collected from shallow trenches returned gold assays greater than
0.150 g/t Au, with the highest value being 2.241 g/t Au). The geochemical anomalies for gold,
arsenic and to lesser extent silver, lead and zinc that were outlined in the north- eastern sector of
the property are particularly significant becaus e they are broadly coincident with zones of
anomalous geophysical responses detected by the induced polarization survey and with bedrock
exposures of hydrothermally altered and sheared Mesozoic sedimentary rocks (see Riverside
press release dated November 14, 2016). Geochemical results for gold are shown on the map
figure at the bottom of this press release.
Highlighted Exploration Results:
• 2200 metre by 900 metre Au -As soil anomaly defined in northeastern sector of the
property where mapping has identifie d extensive area of strongly altered and foliated
metasedimentary rocks
• Induced polarization chargeability anomalies that are broadly coincident with Au-As soil
anomalies identified in northeastern and central sectors of the property.
• 52 of 341 rock chip samples (16%) show anomalous concentrations of gold, ranging
from 0.152 up to 21.0 g /t Au ; mineralized rocks typically display quartz -sericite-Fe
oxide alteration
• Semi-continuous series of channel-cut samples gave unweighted average gold content of
0.606 g/t Au across 42 metres (individual 3 metre long samples returned assays ranging
from a low of 0.09 g/t to a high of 2.442 g/t Au)
• Trench sampling results included of 9 metres @ 0.421 g/t Au; 27 metres @ 0.368 g/t Au;
12 metres @ 0.506 g/t Au
Riverside’s President and CEO, John- Mark Staude, stated: “We continue to be encouraged by
the results of the geochemical and geophysical surveys completed to date at the Glor Project ,
which show positive indications of an orogenic gold system. The quartz -sericite alteration,
veining and deformation styles are similar to such features commonly seen at Sonoran orogenic
gold deposits, including the nearby Chanate Gold Mine. We now look forward to further results
from the current trenching and structural mapping program , with plans in place to drill in
2017.”

Additional Exploration Work Now Underway:
Exploration has resumed at Glor and is focusing on the gold targets that were defined by the
above-described work programs. Centerra will also be funding this year’s field programs which
will involve additional mechanical trenching, channel rock sampling and detailed geological
mapping of rock alteration, structural features and lithologies deemed to be the preferred hosts of
the gold mineralization found on the property . A heavy -duty excavator (Hyundai 220) is
currently digging trenches to further test the Pitaya Target. A number of other zones of gold
mineralization that were identified in 2016 will also be trenched and sampled this quarter.
Trenches will generally be 50 to 100 metr es in length and will be dug up to 3 metr es into
bedrock. Presently, the planned exploration program and budget for 2017 calls for two months of
trenching and channel sampling. The goal of this work will be to clearly define high- potential
gold targets for drilling which is expected to take place in the second half of the year. A drilling
program will be planned after the results of the ongoing trenching have been received and
evaluated.

Soil and rock samples are being taken to the Bureau Veritas Laboratories in Hermosillo, Mexico
for fire assaying for gold and ICP analysis for 45 common and trace elements . A QA/QC
program has been implemented as part of the rock sampling program at Glor, with 199 blank and
standard samples being analysed along with the 1,809 rock samples that were collected from the
field.
