[{"type":"text","content":"Riverside Samples 10 Metres of 3.34 g/t Au and 11.5 Metres of 1.57 g/t Au from Cerro Magallanes Targets at the Cecilia ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 2, 2018) - Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (\"Riverside\" or the \"Company\"), is pleased to report on rock chip channel samples from the Cerro Magallanes area at the 100%-owned Cecilia Gold Project (the “Project”) in northeastern Sonora, Mexico. Riverside recently announced positive results from a soil survey covering approximately 30% of the 50 km2 claim area surrounding the main Cerro Magallanes dome complex (see press release September 11, 2018). Riverside’s rock sampling results from the main central rhyolitic dome complex verifies and expands upon historical sampling for gold within breccias and veins on Cerro Magallanes. Dome margins also show positive potential for near surface gold targets and indications for potential gold and silver bodies at depth. Over the past year Riverside has conducted channel sampling of surface areas over the four main Cerro Magallanes target areas with assay intervals on outcrops that are perpendicular to the existing structures to estimate the true surface widths of the different featured zones. The channel sampling program included 305 samples ranging from <0.05 to 19.00 g/t Au. Sampling shows consistent gold from the top of Cerro Magallanes at the San Jose Target northeast along the Agua Prieta-North Breccia Target and through the Central and East Target areas. Channel samples with gold values of note shown below on map include:San Jose Target – 47m @ 1.12 g/t from underground workings (Cambior Ex., 1996)*Agua Prieta – North Breccia – 10m @ 3.34 g/t from surface channelCentral Target- 14m @ 2.44 g/t from underground workingsEast Target – 11.5m @ 1.57 g/t from surface channelDisclaimer: Riverside has applied a 5-gram gold cap to these interval calculations in order to mitigate impact of individual high-grade samples. These samples do not cover the entire target thicknesses and further excavations would be needed to expand continuity and provide an indication of gold mineralization context.*Interval from previous operators work on the Cecilia Project and is historical. The reliability of historical data is uncertain but is considered to b...
