[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 6, 2017) - Riverside Resources Inc. (\"Riverside\" or the \"Company\") (TSX VENTURE:RRI) (OTC PINK:RVSDF) (FRANKFURT:R99), is pleased to report initial results from the Company's first-phase exploration program at the Cecilia Project (the \"Project\") located in northeastern Sonora, Mexico. Riverside's exploration team is targeting epithermal gold-silver mineralization hosted by a felsic flow-dome complex, which is similar in age and composition to volcanic structures such as the large Pitarrilla and San Julian silver deposits found in the State of Durango. The sampling done to date has been concentrated at the North Breccia and Central zones, the two highest priority gold targets presently known on the property (see Figure 1 below). Thirty-three (33) of the 91 samples collected at Cecilia (approximately 36% of the total) yielded gold assays greater than 0.5 g/t gold (Au), with five samples assaying greater than 3 g/t Au. The three best rock-chip assays were 113.7 g/t Au with 288 g/t silver (Ag), 58 g/t Au with 207 g/t Ag and 8.42 g/t Au with 87.8 g/t Ag. The sampling has also shown that silver mineralization is more strongly developed in the altered rocks than was reported by previous operators. Nineteen (19) of the 91 samples have silver contents greater than 100 g/t Ag, six of these samples yielding assays that were greater than 200 g/t Ag and the maximum silver assay was 310 g/t Ag. The silver-to-gold ratio of the epithermal mineralization appears to increase as mineralized structures are sampled at progressively lower elevations, which is characteristic of some of the major epithermal Ag-Au dome complexes of Mexico. Riverside's President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: \"We are pleased with the consistency and exploration values exceeding previous sampling in these areas on the Cecilia Project. The high-grade gold and silver assays at the North Breccia and Central zones of Cerra Magallanes validates our precious metal flow-dome model and brings us a step closer to a potential discovery. We are in the field continuing exploration at Cecilia and anticipate additional results in the near future as we strive to develop a mineral discovery for our shareholders.\" Figure 1: Cecilia with Highlighted Gold Target Areas and Geochemical Results As can be seen in the district summary ...
