The Company has completed detailed magnetic susceptibility data acquisition for the entire project area and identified a new magnetic anomaly area of 6 x 2 km² in the southwest part of the project. The company believes this area displays many classic structural controls similar to the mineralization found at the main Cerro Magallanes target area of the project and can become an additional focus of the upcoming exploration activities as well as the already permitted and planned upcoming drill program that is fully funded and scheduled to start in early Q4, 2024.The current technical work program is completing now as the project moves next to drill testing. The work that has been completed for evaluating and improving drill targets includes geophysics, geochemistry and geology being integrated. The Cecilia Project has good road access with the project located 40 km southwest of Agua Prieta (Mexico-USA border) and 250 km northeast of the capital city of Hermosillo. The project is a titled and 100% Riverside-owned, with drill permits and the ability to progress the drilling in the coming months. The property is a district-scale gold and silver, low-sulfidation epithermal system and is currently optioned with Fortuna Mining earning an initial ownership position through a series of payments and work commitments where Riverside remains as the operator of the exploration program as disclosed in March. The project covers over 60 km² and has over 10 different exploration targets, with at least two nested dome complexes similar to those in Peru at the Yanacocha Mining District and in Bolivia at the Korri Kollo Mine, which have produced well over 25M and 5M oz of gold respectively. The use of aeromagnetics helps further distinguish these targets.John-Mark Staude, CEO of Riverside, states, \"We are delighted to receive this excellent and det...
