VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 31, 2011) -
Riverside Resources Inc. ("Riverside" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RRI)(PINK SHEETS:RVSDF)(FRANKFURT:R99) has completed third phase exploration work and received new IP geophysical data that improves the definition of several drill ready exploration targets at the Chapalota Project in Sinaloa, Mexico. Riverside is pleased to announce that drill testing will commence in June at the Leona target area which is one of the high priority targets on the project. The Leona target was previously defined by Riverside through geological mapping and rock chip sampling that identified a north-south trending fault carrying gold values up to 32.1 g/t gold. Riverside and its partner, Guerrero Exploration Inc., have since completed an extensive Induced Polarization (IP) survey and taken the necessary steps to commence drilling in the coming weeks.


The IP pole-dipole survey was initiated to delineate the orientation of the fault under cover. Seven 2 km lines of IP have been completed at 300m spacing, for a total of 14 km's over the Leona target area. Initial results indicated an east dipping conductive zone that is interpreted to define the fault. Due to the indicated success of IP in detecting the fault under cover, the extent of the survey has been doubled for another seven lines of which three have been surveyed. This data is invaluable for positioning drill hole collars to test for mineralization along the extent of the fault. A bulldozer is now on site improving drill access. Also, an excavator is trenching across the trend of the mineralized structure to expose rock for better geological control of drill hole collar locations. Geology that can be mapped in trenches will assist with interpretation of the drill sections. Major Drilling has been contracted to commence drilling at Chapalota in early June using a man portable diamond drill.


"The recently completed IP work is very encouraging as it has helped substantiate and focus the upcoming drill program and provides Riverside shareholders with significant potential for discovery," said John-Mark Staude, President and CEO of Riverside Resources.
