~Over 1600 metres drilled to date and 700+ samples shipped to laboratory~
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 12, 2025) – Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY0) (“Riverside” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce the completion of the first phase of drilling at the Union Project in Sonora, Mexico. 12 diamond core holes were completed for a total of just over 1,600 metres across six priority targets. The work is being advanced with funding through partner Questcorp Mining Inc. (“Questcorp“) under the option agreement announced earlier in 2025 with Riverside as Operator and managing the exploration program.
Program Highlights
- 12 core holes completed totaling >1,600 m.
- Six targets drilled: Union Mine, Union Norte, Cobre, Luis, Famosa, and Famosa Mag.
- Three past-producing mine areas tested adjacent to historic workings to evaluate continuity.
- >700 half-core samples shipped; assays pending.
- Holes oriented as angle and near-vertical to cut stratigraphy and structures typical of Carbonate Replacement Deposit-type (“CRD”) systems, with focus beneath oxidized horizons generally <150 m depth.
“This first exploration phase accomplished initial drill holes into 6 target areas. We tested multiple shallow gold and base metals targets, confirmed the key carbonate host units recognized by historic mining at Union and Famosa, and gathered the structural and alteration data to further progress efficient mineral exploration,” said Dr. John-Mark Staude, President and CEO of Riverside Resources. “This historically mined CRD district, validated by new drilling and improved datasets, advances our geologic model and supports the potential for a large-scale discovery. With six targets advanced and more than 700 samples at the lab, once results are received, we will scope the next exploration program and focus on the most prospective trends indicated by assay results, stratigraphy, structure, and geophysics.”
Drilling Update by Area
Union Mine: Three holes at the Union Mine targeted manto horizons and chimney/feeder structures adjacent to historic underground workings. This reconnaissance drilling was designed to evaluate stratigraphy, alteration, and mineralization continuity typical of CRD systems.
Famosa Mine Area: Four core holes tested a west-dipping dolomite manto target and adjacent structures. Logging noted intrusive dikes and breccias; no geochronology has been completed. Historical small-scale mining left surface dumps reported with gold grades of >0.5 oz/t Au (>15 g/t) in an independent NI 43-101 report filed on SEDAR+, May 7, 2025, by Questcorp. An inclined shaft dipping ~70° to the west parallels the favorable horizon. Holes were drilled at angles toward the east to intersect the target as close to perpendicular as practical and to evaluate continuity of alteration and mineralization.
Union Norte: Two initial holes tested the manto horizon within dolomitic carbonate strata to evaluate continuity and geometry along favorable trends mapped near historic workings. This phase targeted the westward extension. Follow-up work, including possible step-outs to the east, will be considered after assays and geological interpretation.
Cobre and Luis: Each target was tested to assess style, structure, and controls on mineralization. Results to date show sulfides, mineralization types, and intrusions aligned with a carbonate-hosted metals system.

Sampling and Assays
Core was logged, saw-cut, and half-core samples were shipped for analysis. Samples from the first eight holes were delivered to Bureau Veritas (Hermosillo, Sonora) for gold fire assay, with pulps forwarded to Vancouver, Canada for Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (“ICP-MS”) following four-acid digestion to determine silver, base metals, and pathfinders. Samples from the final four holes were shipped to ACT Labs Zacatecas, where preparation, gold assay, and multi-element ICP are completed in Mexico. Remaining half-cores are retained for reference. The final 4 holes of the program were shipped to ACT Labs where they were similarly assayed using the same processing methods but with their initial preparation and assaying completed in Zacatecas, Mexico using the same ICP and gold fire assay methods.
Next Steps
After assays are received, the Company plans to announce results and begin work to integrate the full exploration results including the assays, core logging, geophysics, advance detailed multi-element geochemistry, and updated structural mapping to refine the CRD model and scope for a Phase 2 exploration campaign. The Phase 2 campaign will likely include more extensive drilling and other exploration work as this Phase 1 was only an initial sampling into some of the targets at Union. This next expanded drill program could take place in H1, 2026 as all permits and access are in good standing and with the new data targets will be ready to explore.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 12, 2025) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (“EMX” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of a 1.25% NSR royalty (the “Royalty”) over the Puquios development stage copper project in north central Chile, located near the city of La Serena. The Puquios project is owned by Cuprum Resources Chile SpA, an operating company jointly owned by Camino Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: COR; “Camino”) and Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd of Japan (“Nittetsu”). EMX purchased the Royalty from Santiago Metals Upper Holdco LLC, a company owned by a fund advised by Denham Capital Management LP (“Denham”), which owned and operated the project prior to its sale to Camino and Nittetsu. Camino and Nittetsu each have skilled and experienced mine development teams, and Denham has also financed the construction and operation of numerous mining operations in Chile and elsewhere in the world. Nittetsu has notably operated in partnership with Inversiones Errazuriz to construct and operate the Atacama Kozan (Los Bronces) copper-gold mine in central Chile and is currently constructing the Arqueros copper mine in the La Serena region.
The Puquios project is a supergene copper deposit in the foothills of the Andean mountain range and overlies a partially explored porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit. The current Proven and Probable reserves for the supergene Puquios deposit are 26.0 Mt averaging 0.494% copper1. A Prefeasibility Study for the project was published in March 2025, and shows robust economics for the project, including projected production of 223 million pounds of copper over a 14.2 year mine life (see Camino News Release dated March 17, 2025). Cuprum has obtained the necessary permits to commence construction of the project (including water rights) and Camino and Nittetsu are currently arranging project financing. Camino has provided a recent project update, highlighting the scalability of the project and its development status (see Camino News Release dated Oct 30, 2025).
The supergene copper deposit is located within a hilltop overlying a more extensive primary porphyry copper deposit that has only seen limited drilling. The underlying porphyry deposit remains open in multiple directions and at depth. Additionally, Puquios is positioned within a more extensive belt of hydrothermal alteration and copper and gold occurrences with numerous areas of historic mining and exploration. This belt extends for at least 8 km east to west within the Royalty footprint. The underlying porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit and extensive mineralization trend at Puquios provide EMX with considerable exploration upside and discovery optionality. Camino and Nittetsu are also evaluating the potential for new leach technologies to beneficiate the underlying sulfide copper mineralization, with Nittetsu’s technology demonstrating promising sulphide leaching results (also discussed in the Camino News Release dated Oct 30, 2025).
Commercial terms. EMX has paid Denham USD $6 million in exchange for the Royalty, with another USD $2 million payment due upon the commencement of construction of Puquios. Further, EMX has subscribed to a concurrent financing, where Camino is arranging a non-brokered private placement to raise total gross proceeds of CAD $5.5M for the advancement of Puquios through project financing and a final investment decision. EMX has subscribed to CAD $2.5 million of the financing for approximately 6.94 million shares at CAD $0.36 per share. EMX’s position in Camino provides exposure to Camino’s other exploration projects in Chile and Peru, notably including the Los Chapitos IOCG copper and gold project in Peru, also being explored in cooperation with Nittetsu.
1Notes on Mineral Reserves. The Mineral Reserves estimates for Puquios were reported in Camino News Release dated March 17, 2025 and were prepared by Jesse Aarsen, P.Eng. (who is also an Independent Qualified Person) using the 2014 CIM Definition Standards and have an effective date of September 21, 2021. The cut-off grade used for ore/waste determination is NSR >= US$5.59/t. Cut-off grade assumes US$3.19 /lb Cu, block recoveries from the block model, US$75/t cathode premium, 2% vendor royalty and US$0.30/lb SX/EW costs. The average associated metallurgical recovery for copper was modelled at 79%. Mineral Reserves were converted from Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources through the process of pit optimization, pit design, production schedule and are supported by a positive cash flow model. The Mineral Reserves reported are the tonnages delivered to the crusher, pre-delivery to the heap leach pad. Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in summation differences. Further information and details are available in the Puquios Project Technical Report entitled “Puquios Project – NI 43-101 Technical Report and Pre-feasibility Study, La Higuera, Coquimbo Region, Chile”, with an effective date of January 24, 2025, which is available on SEDAR+ under Camino’s filings. EMX has not performed sufficient work to verify the published data reported above, but EMX believes this information to be reliable and relevant.

Plans for Fall 2025 Exploration at Greenwood:
Trenching, rock and soil sampling along with drilling at the Midway Target area is being planned for fall 2025. The amount of drilling will depend upon the current financing that has been announced.
Additional results should be forthcoming over the next coming months as work progresses and will be presented in additional news releases.
Private Placement
Grizzly has recently announced a private placement offering for gross proceeds of up to $1 million (See Company News Releases dated September 11 and October 10, 2025) in order to support planned exploration this fall.
The main focus of the private placement will be to conduct drilling and trenching at the Midway Exploration Target, targeting the historical Midway Mine and conduct additional reconnaissance sampling across the project area.
Quality Assurance and Control
Rock and soil samples are being analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10 g/t Au). Rock grab and rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.
The sampling program was undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of Michael B. Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo.. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples.
The technical content of this news release and the Company’s technical disclosure has been reviewed and approved by Michael B. Dufresne, M. Sc., P.

(1) The 2025 MRE has been prepared by Derek Loveday, P. Geo., of Stantec Consulting Services Ltd., an independent Qualified Person, in co-operation with Mariea Kartick, P.Geo. (independent Qualified Person for drilling data QA/QC) and Johnny Marke P.G. (independent Qualified Person for resource estimation). CIM definitions are followed for classification of the mineral resource. The 2025 MRE was produced in conformance with NI 43-101. The 2025 mineral resource estimate has an effective date of June 30, 2025. Ounces are reported as troy ounces. No drilling was completed on the Waterloo Property and Langtry Property since the declaration of the 2023 MRE for Waterloo and 2022 MRE for Langtry. The 2025 MRE update accounts for changes in commodity prices, mining costs since 2022/2023, and barite testing of existing drill samples from the Waterloo Property. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that any mineral resource will be converted into a mineral reserve.
(2) For the Waterloo Property, a silver equivalent cut-off grade was calculated using the following variables: surface mining operating costs (US$2.8/st), processing costs plus general and administrative cost (US$26.5/st), Ag price (US$28/oz), BaSO4 price (US$120/t), Zn price (US$1.22/lb), Au price (US$2,451/oz), and metal recoveries (Ag 65%, Au 80%, BaSO4 85%, Zn 80%). For the Waterloo Property gold-only resources the Au cut-off grade was calculated using the above Au price, Au recovery and gold-only processing costs plus general and administrative cost (US$8.2/st).
(3) For the Langtry Property, a silver-only equivalent cut-off grade was calculated using the aforementioned Ag price, Ag recovery and silver-only processing costs plus general and administrative cost (US$24/st).
The 2025 MRE for the Waterloo Property comprises 125 Moz Ag in 55 Mt at an average grade of 71 g/t Ag (M&I categories), 0.51 Moz Ag in 0.60 Mt at an average grade of 26 g/t Ag (Inferred category), 130,000 oz gold in 17 Mt at an average grade of 0.25 g/t gold (Inferred category), 2.7 Mt BaSO4 and 354 Mlbs Zn in 36 Mt at an average grade of 7.4 % BaSO4 and 0.45 % Zn (Indicated category), and 0.65 Mt BaSO4 and 258 Mlbs Zn in 17 Mt at an average grade of 3.9 % BaSO4 and 0.71 % Zn (Inferred category). The 2025 MRE for the Langtry Property comprises 57 Moz Ag in 24 Mt at an average grade of 73 g/t Ag (Inferred category).
ABOUT THE CALICO PROJECT
Location
The Calico Project is located in San Bernardino County, California, and comprises the adjacent Waterloo, Langtry and Mule properties, which total 8,283 acres. The Calico Project is 15 km (9 miles) east from the city of Barstow, 5 km (3 miles) from commercial electric power and has an extensive private gravel road network spanning the property.
Geology and Mineralization
The Calico Project is situated in the southern Calico Mountains of the Mojave Desert, in the south-western region of the Basin and Range tectonic province. This 15 km (9 mile) long northwest-southeast trending mountain range is dominantly composed of Tertiary (Miocene) volcanics, volcaniclastics, sedimentary rocks and dacitic intrusions. Mineralization at Calico comprises high-level low-sulfidation silver-dominant epithermal vein-type, stockwork-type and disseminated-style associated with northwest-trending faults and fracture zones and mid-Tertiary (~19-17 Ma) volcanic activity. Calico represents a district-scale mineral system endowment with approximately 6,000 m (19,685 ft) in mineralized strike length controlled by the Company. Silver and gold mineralization are oxidized and hosted within the sedimentary Barstow Formation and the upper volcaniclastic units of the Pickhandle formation along the contact between these units.
