Partner Funded Drilling Commences at Riverside's Penoles Project in Durango, Mexico

Riverside Resources Inc. ("Riverside" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:RRI)(PINKSHEETS:RVSDF)(FRANKFURT:R99) is pleased to announce that
partner-funded drilling has now commenced at the Company's 100-percent-owned
Penoles Project (the "Project") in Durango, Mexico. Riverside's partner, Sierra
Madre Developments Inc. ("Sierra Madre"), is starting a minimum 1,500-meter
drill program and is planning to test various parts of the high-grade Jesus
Maria silver-gold vein system. The proposed diamond drill program will initially
test beneath and adjacent to surface-sampled trench areas and along the
structural trend of the vein system, and targets shallow intercepts along strike
from high-grade Ag-Pb-Zn historic mine workings. This drilling is on less than 1
square kilometer of the greater than 300 km2 land package, which has more than
10 additional target areas controlled by Riverside in the historic Penoles
District in northern Durango state, Mexico. 


The Penoles Project is in one of the lesser known historic silver mining
districts in the Durango Silver Belt and this program aims to help highlight
some of the potential. Previous drilling by Riverside, Aurcana, and Sierra Madre
has delineated a hot-spring style epithermal gold body. This new drilling will
now begin to test various silver areas on the property. Published historical
accounts indicate that Compania Minera Industrias Penoles operated several
underground silver mines in the Penoles District from 1887 to 1908, however,
production records are limited and potential extensions of the mines have never
been systematically drill tested. Old shafts were sunk along different portions
of the veins and these areas can now be explored in detail. 


Trenching and sampling in 2011 by Sierra Madre following up on earlier work by
Riverside showed that the mineralized zones exploited by the historic silver
mines are up to 20 meters in thickness. A single drill hole by Sierra Madre was
completed at one of the trench targets along the Jesus Maria vein. This drill
hole intersected three high-grade silver intervals over a combined length of
more than 8 meters (news release, November 16, 2011). For diagrams and more

John-Mark Staude, President and CEO of Riverside Resources Inc., stated, "We are
pleased to have drilling begin again as we believe there is potential for
significant silver discoveries. The two initial target areas of Jesus Maria and
San Rafael show potential for discovery at depth and we look forward to drill
results and expanded exploration. Riverside is a significant shareholder of
Sierra Madre and is delighted to continue testing targets and unlocking
potential."


The Penoles Project covers more than half of the historic Penoles Mining
District including two of the larger historic silver mines (Jesus Maria and San
Rafael) in the overall district. A partially defined oxide gold prospect
(referred to as El Capitan) and numerous other early-stage targets are present
on the Riverside-controlled property with no underlying owner. The drilling now
underway will test for extensions below the historic mine workings and results
will be announced as they become available through Sierra Madre as the operator.
Riverside has been paid approximately 5,000,000 shares thus far in 2013, and
additional share payments are pending shareholder approvals.
