Riverside Resources and Partner Morro Bay Resources Drill 388.4 g/t Silver Over 22.7 Metres at the Penoles Gold-Silver Projec...

Riverside Resources Inc. ("Riverside" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:RRI)(PINKSHEETS:RVSDF)(FRANKFURT:R99), is pleased to announce new drill
results from the Jesus Maria Silver Mine area at the Penoles Project (the
"Project") in Durango, Mexico, which is being funded by Morro Bay Resources.
Twenty three (23) HQ sized core holes were drilled on the property, for a total
of 2,143 metres during the most recent drill program with results still pending
for 6 holes. The recent program discovered a new zone of mineralization and
structural preparation (referred to as the "Jesus Maria South Zone")
intersecting and trending southwest from the Jesus Maria Vein. The Jesus Maria
South Zone had not been systematically tested and apparently never worked by
previous mining. The first two drill holes that intersected the new zone, (JM
DDH 14-10 and JM DDH 14-24) returned the best near surface intervals of silver
mineralization intersected at the Penoles Property since Riverside acquired the
property in 2007.


The first hole drilled (JM DDH 14-10) was a 30 metre step out, south from the
final hole (JM DDH 13-9 "Hole 9") of the 2013 program (view www.rivres.com for
maps and images). This drill hole, (JM DDH 14-10) intersected an approximately
41 metre wide near-surface mineralized interval averaging 123.9 g/t silver and
more than 0.5 g/t gold, including a 4.25 metre interval that assayed 732.2 g/t
silver and 1.20 g/t gold. The second hole, JM DDH 14-24, confirmed significant
widths of mineralization, with 70.8 m interval averaging 147.8 g/t silver
including a 22.7 m interval that returned 388.4 g/t silver.


Assay results for the drill holes received to date from the Jesus Maria South
Zone, JM DDH 14-10 and JM DDH 14-24, are summarized below:

(All reported intervals are core lengths, true widths have not yet been determined)

Six additional holes (JM DDH 14-25 through JM DDH 14-30) have been drilled to
investigate the potential continuity of mineralization at Jesus Maria South Zone
to the east of the JM DDH 14-24 location. Assay results for these six holes will
be released as soon as they become available and have been interpreted. 


Riverside's President and CEO, John-Mark Staude stated, "Riverside is pleased
with the drilling and discovery of the Jesus Maria South Zone and looks forward
to receiving further assays from the remaining six holes. Collectively this zone
so far has a strike extent of drilling of over 250 meters. The expanded
mineralization found at Jesus Maria combined with the Capitan Gold Zone,
untested San Rafael Mine area and numerous other prospective targets provide
plenty of upside as the Penoles Project continues to move forward." 


Other assayed holes from the current campaign include drill holes JM DDH 14-11
through JM DDH 14-23, a series of vertical and inclined holes spaced at
approximately 50 to 100 metre intervals along the Jesus Maria Vein which provide
near surface extension to the shallow mined area. The Jesus Maria Vein holes
(view www.rivres.com for maps) were designed to test for potential lateral
extensions of the mineralized zone developed in the historical Jesus Maria mine
region and to some extent began to extend the depth which remains wide open. The
drilling successfully extended the confirmed strike length of the Jesus Maria
Vein approximately 500 meters westwards, and intersected the vein at the
expected depths, showing good continuity. The vein remains open at depth and
along strike. The drill holes encountered encouraging mineralization zones as
tabulated below. These results are currently being integrated into the Jesus
Maria geological model, and will be commented on in more detail as the analysis
is completed.

Two drill holes (CDDH-14-49 and CDDH-14-50) were designed to test the Capitan
Hill Zone target but were terminated early without reaching target depth due to
local ground conditions and were not submitted for assay. 


Results of previous drill programs completed at the Penoles Project are
summarized in a recent N.I. 43-101 completed by Morro Bay Resources filed on
SEDAR (www.sedar.com). 


About the Penoles Project: 

The Penoles Project is located in the Durango silver-gold belt in north-central
Mexico and is currently owned 100% by Riverside. The recently completed drill
program was 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 by June 30, 2014.
For more information see Riverside press release dated January 23, 2014.


There are approximately eleven targets on the Penoles Project, including the
Capitan Gold Zone, the Pinchanzo Zone (see Riverside press release dated May 23,
2012), potential west extensions of El Capitan (referred to as the West
Extension), a new target area located to the northwest of El Capitan (referred
to as Santa Theresa) and the previously mined Jesus Maria and San Rafael Ag-
Au-Pb-Zn mines. The district is highly prospective with active mining operations
nearby and has proven to be a cost effective region where projects can be
efficiently developed towards production.


The Capitan Gold Zone is an advanced epithermal prospect with 45 drill holes and
6,945 metres of total drilling so far, with geological work to-date indicating
potential for a bulk tonnage gold style system at El Capitan, with the geologic
interpretation indicating vectors for expansion with further drilling. 


The 23 drill holes and 2,143 metres of recently completed drilling bring the
aggregate drill figures to 31 drill holes over 3,000 metres at Jesus Maria. The
2013 drilling intercepted a semi-parallel sequence of upper silver-carbonate
veining as well as the main quartz-rich Ag-Au-Pb-Zn Jesus Maria vein zone.
Underground exploration and sampling of the old workings also found silver
bearing carbonate veins, which prior to this recent work was not known and
demonstrates larger potential for the Jesus Maria vein system than previously
recognized. The 2014 drilling has encountered some of the widest and strongest
silver mineralization to-date and builds on previous work with significant
exploration upside still remaining at Jesus Maria and surrounding targets. 


Qualified Person and QA/QC: 

The scientific and technical data contained in this news release pertaining to
the Penoles Project was reviewed by Howard Davies, MAIG - VP Exploration, a
non-independent qualified person to Riverside Resources, who is responsible for
ensuring that the geologic information provided in this news release is accurate
and who acts as a "qualified person" under National Instrument 43-101 Standards
of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.


According to Morro Bay, all drill cores were placed in numbered boxes and
transported to Morro Bay's secure core facilities by the drill contractor.
Following detailed core logging all core was cut using a diamond bladed core saw
under the direct supervision of Morro Bay's geologic staff with half of the core
kept on site in the original core boxes. All drill samples were sealed in
numbered plastic bags and transported to Inspectorate America Assay labs
facility in Durango City for prep work and analyzed at their facilities in Reno,
NV, USA. Inspectorate America is certified for the provision of assays and
geochemical analysis (ISO:9001-2008). All samples were prepared using standard
industry preparation methods followed by fire assay analysis and aqua regia
digest for trace elements. All samples with greater than 10 g/t Au or 100 g/t
silver were additionally tested by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Morro
Bay has included appropriate industry certified standards and blanks within the
drill core sample stream in addition to the standards and duplicates included as
part of the Inspectorate QA/QC program.
