Riverside Resources Inc. provided an exploration update from the Company's 100% owned Tajitos Gold Project (the "Project") in Sonora, Mexico. Riverside geologists have completed the first phase of underground mapping and sampling of more than 10 historic underground workings on the Project. The ongoing exploration work at Tajitos is designed to understand the controls on mineralization and improve and refine targeting for future drill testing.

The shallow underground workings provide ample evidence of continuity for gold mineralization and work is defining continuity from surface to depth along shears and veins. The most recent exploration work was designed to trace the veins and mineralized zones and included 180 underground rock chip channel samples ranging from <0.05 g/t up to 17 g/t gold. Highlights of this phase of work include: the sampling program returned 27 samples over 1 g/t gold, including 9 samples greater than 5 g/t gold with results reaching up to 17 g/t gold; sampling in the adit which cuts across the possible thrust zone identified several narrow fault zones which contain 0.012 to 6.9 g/t Au, suggesting deeper gold targets; the underground sampling expands upon the past surface sampling which has produced more than 200 samples greater than 1 g/t, reaching up to 34 g/t gold.
