Riverside and Alliance Partner, Hochschild Mining Plc., Acquire Option to Earn 100 Percent Interest in the Cajon Gold Project...

Riverside Resources Inc. ("Riverside" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RRI)
(PINKSHEETS:RVSDF) (FRANKFURT:R99), is pleased to announce that it has signed a
Definitive Agreement with a private Mexican company to acquire an undivided 100%
interest in the Cajon Gold Project (the "Project"). The 94 km2 Project is
located approximately 7 km east of the Cerro Colorado Mine and approximately 55
km west of the San Francisco Mine, within the Sonora Megashear Gold Belt, and in
the source area of the Boludo placer gold fields, one of northern Mexico's most
productive placer districts. Recent exploration work completed by the private
company, and its past option partner, demonstrates excellent potential with a
number of historically sampled high-grade mineralized systems covering 10
separate target areas. 


San Blas is an open-pit style gold target, comprising a N-S-trending zone of
numerous high-grade samples over an area approx. 600 m x approx. 3 km in extent.
Previous exploration work in this area consisted of 336 rock chip and float
samples with 96 samples in the range of 0.3 - 175 g/t Au, including 47 samples
of 1 - 175 g/t Au. Initial Alliance sampling of the target during due diligence
consisted of 39 rock samples, which returned assays up to 9.29 g/t Au.
Additional sampling and geologic mapping are now underway. The San Blas target
is remarkable for its grade, for the wide extent of high-grade samples over a
large area, and for the presence of numerous potentially ore-grade samples in
altered wall rock. The target shows excellent potential for discovery of both
high-grade and bulk-mineable deposits.


Riverside and its alliance partner (the "Alliance") can acquire a 100% interest
in the Project for:   




1.  $15,000 payment upon signing a Definitive Agreement; 
2.  Paying 2013 mineral concession taxes within 30 days of signing the
    Definitive Agreement; 
3.  $20,000 in cash or Riverside shares within three (3) years of signing
    Definitive Agreement; 
4.  $25,000 in cash or Riverside shares within four (4) years of signing the
    Definitive Agreement 



Once the Option has been exercised, the underlying private owner will hold a
1.5% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty, with each 0.5% increment purchasable for
$500,000 at any time. All cash figures are in US dollars. Riverside's alliance
partner, Hochschild Mining Plc., will have the opportunity to earn a 65%
interest in the Project by incurring $5,000,000 in exploration expenditures over
four (4) years. An active and well-funded exploration program is expected at
Cajon and other alliance targets during 2014. 


President and CEO of Riverside Resources, John-Mark Staude, commented: "We are
pleased to have made quick progress in evaluating and acquiring quality,
high-potential prospects in the Megashear Gold Belt of Sonora. We believe the
strategic alliance with Hochschild Mining provides shareholders with great
potential for new precious metal discoveries, as the companies continue to
collaborate and uncover opportunity."

Stock Option Re-pricing:
