Riverside Resources and Carlyle Commodities Report Additional High-grade Gold of 3.3 Meters of 3.37 g/t Gold at the Cecilia Project, Mexico
Riverside Resources and Carlyle Commodities
Report Additional High-grade Gold of 3.3
Meters of 3.37 g/t Gold at the Cecilia Project,
Mexico
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 27, 2021) -
Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV:
RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY) ("Riverside" or the "Company"),
is pleased to report the
second batch of results from the drilling program at the Cecilia Project in Sonora, Mexico where work is
on-going with partner Carlyle Commodities Corp (CSE: CCC). Following the first batch of results
announced April 15, 2021, Riverside and Carlyle are now reporting additional anomalous intercepts in
the last two drill holes of the Phase I drilling program, including
3.3 m of 3.37 g/t Au
at the North Breccia
Target (CED21-006) and 3.05m of 0.67 g/t Au at the Central Target (CED21-007). Surface and shallow
sub-surface expression of the mineralization and alteration in drill holes appear to demonstrate the top of
a robust hydrothermal system, which could be expanded at depth, with expectation of a more developed
gold and silver system based upon the geologic modeling and logging of these core holes.

Riverside's President and CEO, John-Mark Staude:
"
We are pleased to see this program progress
with Carlyle Commodities Corp. where we are shareholders and delighted to see the exploration
program return higher grade gold. These new results continue to build upon the historical work by
Cambior and others, combined with the current 2021 drill campaign which is beginning to show new
target ideas, new gold mineralization controls, and widening the perspective for discoveries.
We look
forward to additional drilling and providing more discovery opportunities at the Cecilia Project with our
partner Carlyle Commodities."
The mineralization at the Cerro Magallanes dome appears to be strongly related to silicification and
oxidation. Fault margins are described by metric-scale wide zones of stockwork to breccia with large
amounts of hematite, goethite and oxidized pyrite. The matrix can be partly infilled with chalcedonic or
milky white quartz, which in hydrothermal systems is well known to be shallow in the system features (see
Figure 1
below). Additionally, in hole CED21-001 and along surface, fluorite and grey quartz are present
and support the Company's theory that this represents the upper-part of the system.

mineralized targets with holes CED21-006 and CED21-007 from this news release for which
alteration and gold mineralization are intersected in various holes during the phase

drill
campaign of Riverside and Carlyle. The targets appear open beneath these shallow initial
intercepts for possible further delineation.

Drill hole CED21-006 is perpendicular to hole CED21-005 which was announced earlier this month with
22 m @ 1.5 g/t Au with indication that the holes are beginning to develop different dimensions and are
open for further drilling as all intercepts have been very shallow to date. The CED21-007 is the first hole
by Riverside into the Central Target area and further follow up will now be warranted as gold have been
found on structures and previous small-scale mining has been developed along various trends. The
Riverside and Carlyle exploration program is on track and plans are to continue with more drilling and
building upon these positive results from the Phase I program at the Cerro Magallanes dome as well as
over the broader district, which includes at least 6 additional regional targets.
Qualified Person & QA/QC:
The scientific and technical data contained in this news release pertaining to the Cecilia Project was
reviewed and approved by Freeman Smith, P.Geo, a non-independent qualified person to Riverside
Resources, who is responsible for ensuring that the geologic information provided in this news release is
accurate and who acts as a "qualified person" under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
Riverside completed a QA/QC program as part of the drilling program with about 10% of the samples
assayed being control samples. Standards and blanks were inserted approximately every 20 samples
and duplicates every 30 samples. Drill samples were taken to the Bureau Veritas Laboratories in
Hermosillo, Mexico for fire assaying for gold. The rejects remained with Bureau Veritas in Mexico while
the pulps were transported to Bureau Veritas laboratory in Vancouver, BC, Canada for 45 element
ICP/ES-MS analysis. A QA/QC program was implemented as part of the sampling procedures for the
exploration program. Standard samples were randomly inserted into the sample stream prior to being
sent to the laboratory.
