(TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: R99) (\"Riverside\" or the \"Company\"), has received new channel sampling and soil sampling results taken along several of the planned drill targets at The Cuarentas (the \"Project\"). Results aim to provide respective grade thickness at surface on known targets and to expand the documented strike distance of vein systems through the soil sampling program. The Project is located approximately 20 km to the west of Premier Gold Mines' Mercedes mine and 30 km south of Agnico Eagle's Santa Gertrudis operation in Sonora, Mexico. The Cuarentas Project is operated by Riverside with earn-in partner Hochschild Mining (\"Hochschild\") funding the next $8,000,000 of investment to reach a 51% interest with additional terms summarized in earlier news (see press release June 24, 2020). Riverside's sampling program was conducted to aid with target definition to support the upcoming drill program. A total of 55 channel samples and 181 soil samples were carried out providing confidence for extending the vein projections. In both sampling programs, channel and soil delivered high-grade results including: Channel sampling:Top results from channel sampling (see Table 1)9.1 g/t Au over 3.4 m including 32.9 g/t Au over 0.8 m Au21.7 g/t Au over 1.6 m6.3 g/t Au over 1.2 m The channel sampling program was carried out with a rock saw, thus making channel samples continuous and more representative than any previous sampling by former explorers. The first channel sample batch contained 55 samples; 22% of the samples returned higher than 0.6 g/t Au and 49% of samples higher than 0.2 g/t Au.
