Partner-Funded Drilling has Commenced at Riverside's Peñoles Project in Durango, Mexico

Riverside Resources Inc. ("Riverside" or the "Company")  (TSX
VENTURE:RRI)(PINKSHEETS:RVSDF)(FRANKFURT:R99) is pleased to announce that
drilling has commenced on the Penoles project in Durango, Mexico. The
3,000-metre drilling program is designed to expand on the known silver and gold
mineralized areas identified by previous drilling campaigns. Initial drill holes
are planned at Jesus Maria to follow up on high-grade silver results from the
5-hole program that was completed the previous year, which included 320 g/t
silver over 11.85 metres (see press release June 10, 2013). Click the following

The Penoles project is located in the Durango silver-gold belt in north-central
Mexico and is currently owned 100% by Riverside. The current drilling campaign
under way on the property is being conducted pursuant to a commitment by Morro
Bay Resources Ltd. ("Morro Bay") to perform $750,000 of exploration work on the
property during the first part of 2014. Morro Bay can complete its option to
earn an initial 51-per-cent interest in the property by paying USD$1.35-million
in cash to Riverside and paying USD$1.5-million worth of Morro Bay shares (or
cash at Morro Bay's option, provided that if the market value of the Morro Bay
shares is less than five cents based on a 30-day volume-weighted average price,
such payment must be made in cash) by June 30, 2014. For more information see
Riverside press release dated January 23, 2014.


Riverside's President and CEO, John-Mark Staude stated, "Riverside is pleased to
see partner-funded drilling begin at the Penoles project and looks forward to
further results from the historic Jesus Maria silver mine area, the San Rafael
vein system, and further drilling on the Capitan Hill zone. Field evaluation
exploration work is also being completed on a number of additional targets on
the property and Riverside continues to evaluate the big scale potential as the
Penoles Project is advanced."


Property Details:

The 350 km2 Penoles Project includes concessions staked by Riverside in 2008 and
several smaller concessions covering historic mine workings purchased by
Riverside from the underlying owners all such concessions being located in the
Penoles Mining District, Durango, Mexico (the "Penoles Project"). Penoles is a
historic silver mining district in the Durango Silver Belt that has had
relatively little modern exploration. Published historical accounts indicate
that Compania Minera Industrias Penoles operated several vein-type, underground
silver mines at Penoles from 1887 to 1908, however production records are
limited and potential extensions of the mines have not been systematically
explored. The Penoles Project includes two historic silver mines (Jesus Maria
and San Rafael), an oxide gold prospect (referred to as El Capitan) and numerous
exploration targets. Please click the following link for more information on the
