RRI Riverside Resources Inc

Riverside Resources Inc. ("Riverside" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RRI)(PINK
SHEETS:RVSDF)(FRANKFURT:R99), is pleased to announce that Riverside Resources
Inc. has signed a binding Letter Agreement with Argonaut Gold Inc. ("Argonaut"),
to acquire an undivided 100% interest in the Bohemia, Texson, and Cien gold
projects (the "Properties") located in the prolific Sonora Megashear Gold Belt.
The Bohemia project is of particular interest as high-grade gold has been
observed in veins, stockwork, and wall rocks, with 27% of Riverside's 142
field-check rock chip samples grading greater than 1 g/t Au and up to 20.3 g/t
Au. Bohemia is located 15 km northwest of the past producing La Choya Mine,
which is now being redeveloped by Penoles, and in the same mineralized belt as
the multi-million-ounce deposits in the Herradura, Noche Buena, and
Soledad-Dipolos Mines operated by Penoles-Newmont. Further information on all of
the acquired Properties can be found in the Property Details section below. 


Riverside and its alliance partner (the "Alliance") have committed to cover the
outstanding 2013 second semester tax payments (approximately $40,000) and once
titles are transferred Argonaut will retain a 1% Net Smelter Return (NSR)
royalty, of which half (0.5%) can be purchased for $500,000 at any time. 


President and CEO of Riverside Resources, John-Mark Staude, commented: "We are
pleased to have cost-effectively acquired quality ground with open-pit gold
potential in the highly prospective Megashear Gold Belt of Sonora. Riverside
will now look forward to further evaluation as the company progresses these
opportunities towards potential drill testing in the future with our alliance
partner Hochschild Mining."


Property Details:

Bohemia is the lead project, with Texson and Cien included in the deal as
strategic, low-cost acquisitions that will undergo further evaluation by
Riverside in the coming months. 


Bohemia:

The project consists of five mineral concessions covering 19,177 hectares. The
property borders Silver Scott Mines' Quitovac project to the south, which hosts
the past-producing Quitovac Mine and contains a historic and
non-43-101-compliant gold resource. Recently, Argonaut completed geological
mapping and sampling work on the Bohemia project, conducted by the consulting
company SPM. Riverside's recent evaluation of the project shows that
mineralization on the property carries high grades, with 27% of the Riverside
samples taken to date assaying over 1 g/t Au. Sample results included 20.3 g/t
Au across a 0.5-m thick quartz vein; 5.20 g/t Au weighted average over 2.5
meters of quartz vein and surrounding mineralized wallrock; 11.40 g/t Au and
10.00 g/t Au in grab samples from historic mine dumps; and 9.75, 8.87, and 7.26
g/t Au, all from 1-m samples in wall rock adjacent to quartz veins. These
results indicate that the project hosts both high-grade veins and disseminated
mineralization in adjacent host rocks.


The project appears to have substantial exploration upside and displays
characteristics of the mineralization at the nearby La Choya and Quitovac mines,
as well as the large Herradura Mine. Importantly, many of the high-grade samples
on the Bohemia project are in wall rock adjacent to veins, indicating excellent
potential for disseminated mineralization and bulk tonnage targets.


Texson:

The Texson project consists of two mineral concessions covering 2,615 hectares
southeast of the Cerro Colorado mine in an area of placer gold production, past
drilling by Penoles, and numerous other projects and gold showings. Prospective
structures are thrust faults and shear zones in the Precambrian crystalline
basement host rock and the sedimentary cover. The Texson project will undergo
further evaluation to better define mineralization potential and targets.


Cien:

The Cien project consists of one small concession (425 hectares) acquired as a
strategic low-cost holding in a source area of major placer mining and previous
drilling by Penoles. The best assay results obtained during Riverside's field
visits were from a low-angle vein in the southern part of the claim (0.974 g/t
Au over 0.5 m), with adjacent wall-rock samples returning 0.638 g/t Au over 0.8
m from the hangingwall and 0.555 g/t Au from the footwall. Residual gravel
concentrates from local miners at this site yielded assays of 2.14 g/t Au in the
coarse fraction and 7.37 g/t Au in the fine fraction, suggesting coarse-grained
gold. Further evaluation in the coming months will determine exploration plans
at Cien.
