Riverside Resources Inc. ("Riverside" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:RRI)(PINKSHEETS:RVSDF)(FRANKFURT:R99) is pleased to announce that the
Company has staked and is in the process of acquiring title to the Compuerta
Copper Project (the "Project") in Sonora, Mexico. The Project will now be
advanced under the terms of the Company's copper porphyry exploration alliance
(the "Alliance") with a wholly owned subsidiary of Antofagasta plc.
("Antofagasta"). The Project is located 6 km south of the Washington Cu-Mo
deposit and 75 km SW of the La Caridad Cu-Mo Mine, part of the most productive
portion of the NW Mexico Laramide Copper Belt. Early results from initial rock
chip sampling conducted by Riverside have returned up to 0.7% copper (Cu) from
outcrops and the Company has received initial approvals from Antofagasta for
additional funding to carry out further exploration and target definition at
Compuerta, subject to execution of an earn-in and option agreement.


Exploration plans are anticipated to include further geological mapping and
geochemistry, with an airborne geophysical survey and proof-of-concept drilling
as potential next steps. As per the Alliance terms, Antofagasta will have the
opportunity to earn a 65% interest in the Compuerta Project by completing
$5,000,000 in exploration over the next four (4) years (see news release July
22, 2013).


Riverside's President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, commented: "We are very pleased
with the progress within both of our strategic alliances with Antofagasta, and
look forward to exploration results in northwest Mexico at Compuerta and in
British Columbia, Canada at Swift Katie in the months ahead."


Property Details: 

The 200 km2 Compuerta Project is located 6 km south of the high grade Washington
Cu-Mo deposit (1.2Mt @ 1.8% Cu, 0.106% Mo)(1) in the Cumobabi District of north
central Sonora. This District is positioned close to the productive Laramide
Copper Belt, with the La Caridad Mine (1200Mt @ 0.6 % Cu)(2) located 75 km to
the NE.

Riverside staked the Compuerta property based on successful generative efforts
and follow-up field surveys, which identified Laramide age intrusive rocks with
previously unrecorded copper mineralization and zoned alteration consistent with
a Cu porphyry system. These surface expressions of a system are located at the
edge of cover and aeromagnetic data and alteration zoning suggest the target
extends under cover to the west. Riverside has collected rock chip and
stream-sediment samples during follow up visits which now confirm visual
indications of a copper system with multiple samples returning greater than 0.1%
Cu and up to 0.7% Cu.
