[{"type":"text","content":"Riverside Expands Drilling Program at Oakes Gold Project, Ontario and Provides Update on Initial FindingsVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 5, 2022) - Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY) (\"Riverside\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the Company has expanded its drilling program at the Oakes Project in Ontario, Canada. The Company initiated the program in March with a planned 1500 metres (\"m\") of drilling and has now completed 1705 m across 12 drill holes. The drill program was designed to test IP geophysical anomalies that were defined through Riverside's 2021 program and coincided with anomalous surface geochemical sampling completed by Riverside. Drilling is now complete with logging, core cutting and sampling now underway. The Company has shipped the first three holes to ACT Labs in Thunder Bay for analysis and is expecting to have all core samples delivered to ACT Labs during April. Assay results are expected later in Q2, 2022 and will be released once reviewed and interpreted. Observations from the core to this point is consistent with surface findings showing similar patterns of mineralization and lithologies from hole to hole along the HG Target, where the initial seven drill holes were focused (see Press Release March 3, 2022). The mineralized zone is described as a quartz-carbonate veining system characterized by disseminated to semi massive pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite mineral assemblage (see Photo 1 below). These observations are similar to the mineralization noted in the previously completed sampling which returned anomalous values for gold.  Photo 1: Close-up pictures of drill core from hole 5 and semi-massive sulfides from hole 7.
