Edmonton, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – July 6, 2026) – Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSXV: GZD) (FSE: G6H) (OTCQB: GZDIF) (“Grizzly” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce preliminary results from the Phase 2 Induced Polarization (IP) program, conducted in April 2026 to follow up excellent prior results from both surface sampling, historical drilling and Phase 1 IP results, at the Sappho Critical Minerals Target (Figure 1). A total of seven lines of IP for 10.1 line-kms were completed between the Phase 1 and Phase 2 surveys at Sappho outlining and extending a significant chargeability anomaly identified in the Phase 1 work. It is interpreted that a strong chargeability anomaly likely represents disseminated sulphide that is likely associated with an intrusion related porphyry target near Greenwood, British Columbia (BC).

The Company is currently in the process of permitting additional drillhole pads to complete drill testing of the chargeability target later in the year. Further IP work, geological mapping and surface sampling centered on the target are planned and in progress prior to the commencement of additional drilling.

A total of seven core holes for a total 1,485 m were completed in late April — to mid-May targeting the near surface Sappho Skarn Target looking for copper-gold-silver-platinum group elements (Cu-Au-Ag-PGEs). The Sappho Skarn Target is immediately adjacent to the chargeability anomaly. Samples from the seven core holes have all been collected and submitted to ALS Global in Kamloops and Vancouver. Results will be announced once received, verified, and interpreted.

Highlights

• Phase 2 Sappho IP results extend the chargeability anomaly up to 600 m south and 800 m east and is open in both directions (Figures 2 and 3).
• The core of the IP chargeability anomaly ranges from 30 mV/V up to 105+ mV/V in intensity, and in several instances is coincident with a strong resistivity anomaly or in some cases a weak conductivity anomaly (Figures 2 and 3).
• Along the west edge of the chargeability anomaly, there is moderate to strong anomalism with copper and gold in soils and in rocks (Figures 4 and 5).
• The Sappho Skarn Zone itself is peripheral to the strong chargeability anomaly (Figure 6).
• The northwest contact of the chargeability anomaly, coincident with the associated anomalous Sappho soils, is a graben edge sympathetic fault to the northeast trend of the Toroda Graben faults which host numerous pyroxenite-monzonite-diorite (older – Jurassic) and younger quartz-feldspar porphyry (QFP)-diorite (Tertiary) intrusions into intermediate-mafic volcanics along with a complex magnetic feature at the Sappho Main Skarn Target area (Figure 1).
• The 2026 IP Survey has detected a new significant deeper chargeability anomaly on the southeast part of the grid – likely up against one of the main Sappho faults (Figures 1 to 6). The chargeability anomaly is not closed off and is on the order of 30 to greater than 100 mV/V and is comparable in size and intensity with a number of porphyry targets that have yielded new porphyry discoveries across BC recently.
• The chargeability anomaly and porphyry target appears to be gaining in strength approaching the USA Border. As a result, the Company has staked a total of 35 Bureau of Land Management lode mineral claims in Washington State covering the potential southern extent of the anomaly.

Brian “Griz” Testo, President & CEO of Grizzly Discoveries, states: “Anomalous ground magnetics and now IP has outlined multiple and significant new targets across the Sappho Project. I am excited to see what the next phase of drilling might show us. Grizzly will continue to refine these targets to the drill ready stage for drilling in the next couple of months and we look forward to potentially identifying new discoveries.”

Ongoing Exploration

The Company is continuing with surface exploration in the Greenwood area. Crews from APEX completed trenching and rock sampling in June at the Midway Mine area, as well as some follow up sampling at the Sappho Chargeability Target area. The 2026 exploration work is ongoing and includes prospecting and rock sampling at targets in the Motherlode area, the Rock Creek area, the Midway area, the Copper Mountain area, the Overlander-Attwood area and surrounding the Sappho (Figure 7). Additional groundwork including ground geophysical surveys are being planned and will comprise IP, magnetics and Loupe electromagnetics (EM) for the Sappho, the Midway and Motherlode areas (Figure 7). Drillhole and rock sampling results from the 2026 work are pending and will be released as they are received.

Sappho Geological Overview

The East and West Faults of the Toroda Graben likely played a role in controlling the Au-Ag mineralization for the Buckhorn Skarn and Mine to the southwest and the Cu-Au-Ag mineralization for the Motherlode/Greyhound skarns to the north (Figure 7). Skarn and porphyry style alteration and mineralization along with Cu-PGE’s-Au-Ag are observed in outcrop and drill core along with a complex magnetic signature in the Main Sappho Skarn area.

• Five (5) new sulphide showings were discovered during 2022 field work, with 4 of the 5 showings yielding rock grab samples with >1% copper (Cu) up to as high as 7.25% Cu (Figure 1 and see Grizzly news release dated November 3rd, 2022).
• In previous sampling. A total of 17 rock grab samples returned values >1% Cu up to 9.06% Cu, many also with anomalous gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd). A total of 11 samples have yielded >500 parts per billion (ppb) Pt and Pd up to 4.64 grams per tonne (g/t) Pt and up to 2.28 g/t Pd.

The Sappho area is being targeted for copper-gold skarn and porphyry type targets associated with a Jurassic alkalic intrusive complex and several younger diorite intrusions (Figure 1). A total of five new showings of copper oxide mineralization were found during the 2022 program. Previous surface sampling and drilling by Grizzly has yielded significant anomalous copper, gold, silver along with platinum and palladium. Numerous historical and new rock grab samples have yielded greater than 1% Cu, 1 g/t Au, 1 g/t Ag, 1 g/t Pt and 1 g/t Pd (Figure 1).

Historical 2010 drilling by the Company (4 core holes) yielded up to 0.31% Cu, 0.75 g/t Au, 0.34 g/t Pt, 0.39 g/t Pd and 6.57 g/t Ag over 6.5 m core length in skarn at Sappho (in hole 10SP03), including a 1 m core length intersections of 3.82 g/t Au and 199 g/t Ag, and in a separate sample 1.83 g/t Pt and 2.09 g/t Pd across 1 m – these results all are associated with >1% Cu in those samples. These higher grade zones were contained within a 63.5 m core length zone logged as a pyroxene – sulphide skarn with a grade approaching 0.7% copper equivalent derived from current metal prices for Cu, Au, Ag, Pt and Pd. Drillhole 10SP03 targeted a magnetic anomaly and had no indications of surface mineralization at the time of drilling. One of the new 2022 showings has been found proximal to drillhole 10SP03 and the targeted magnetic anomaly.

The Company is continuing with surface exploration in the Greenwood area.

Strategic framework meets businesses where they are today, identifying Transformational AI enabled value creation opportunities

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2026 / AIAI Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:AIAI) (“Ai2” or the “Company”), an AI-enabled diversified holding company utilizing Transformational AI (TAI) to enhance portfolio performance, today announces its strategic and comprehensive post-acquisition AI integration framework, pursuant to which it will identify, design, and implement AI-enabled value creation opportunities across the Company’s portfolio businesses. This disciplined, repeatable playbook is expected to move portfolio companies from initial operational assessment to active Transformational AI implementation, fundamentally redefining their financial potential.

https://b2edf62a30a17584b1138add07cdfdad.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-45/html/container.html

“Transformational AI is intelligence grounded in a business’s actual operations, acting as a core driver of value rather than an add-on,” said Todd Furniss, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of AIAI Holdings Corporation. “At Ai2 we don’t sell this technology, we buy companies then bake it into their DNA, converting complex services into durable cash flows. This requires meeting each portfolio company where it is today, understanding its workflows and data environment, and then building the appropriate foundation for AI-enabled value creation. Disorganized or incomplete data is not a weakness; it is the norm. Identifying, organizing, and analyzing that information is a critical part of the transformation process. Once that foundation is in place, we can implement targeted AI and operational strategies designed to drive both revenue growth and EBITDA expansion wherever the greatest opportunities exist.”

The framework provides Ai² with a disciplined, repeatable process for assessing newly acquired and existing portfolio companies, identifying practical AI-enabled value creation opportunities, evaluating operational and data readiness, and developing phased implementation plans that can be executed responsibly over time.

The Company is also pleased to announce that C.C. Carlton Industries (“CCCI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ai² and a Central Texas construction company with more than 30 years of operating history, is among the first Ai2 portfolio companies to move through the Company’s structured Transformational AI assessment and onboarding process.

“C.C. Carlton Industries is excited to be an initial benefactor of Ai²’s Transformational AI integration framework,” said Ben Lyon, CEO of C.C. Carlton Industries. “As an operating business with established workflows, project complexity, customer requirements, safety considerations, and opportunities for process improvement, we believe TAI assessment process can help identify practical opportunities to improve efficiency, quality, safety, speed to completion, and decision-making over time.”

The Company expects that early implementation work will help establish repeatable processes and reusable AI tools that can support future acquisitions and additional portfolio company integrations. Over time, Ai² intends to build a portfolio-wide Transformational AI playbook that can support faster assessment, improved execution and scalability across diverse industries.

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2026 / AIAI Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:AIAI) (“Ai²” or the “Company”), an AI-enabled diversified holding company utilizing Transformational AI to enhance portfolio performance, today announced that John P. Rochon, Chairman of Ai² and entities controlled by the family of Mr. Rochon, collectively, have acquired approximately $100 million of Ai² shares at $20.00 per share through a privately negotiated transaction with an existing large shareholder.

This transaction represents a significant incremental investment by the Rochon family, further increasing their already substantial ownership position in Ai². The purchase underscores a deep and continuing conviction in the Company’s long-term strategy, its differentiated position in Transformational AI, and the proven ability of its Board and management team to execute at scale. The Rochon family has been a longstanding supporter of Ai², and this latest investment further aligns their interests with the Company’s long-term value creation objectives. This transaction reinforces a stable and strategically aligned shareholder base.

“This is not simply a financial investment; it is a statement of belief in where Ai² is going and how we intend to get there,” added John P. Rochon, Sr. “We are building something enduring, with a focus on disciplined execution, durable growth and long-term value creation.”

Ai² continues to execute against a robust pipeline of AI-driven initiatives across multiple sectors, focusing on enterprise-grade psychometric intelligence, scalable deployment architectures, and high-value commercial applications. The Rochon family believes it is well-positioned to capitalize on accelerating demand for applied AI solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes.

The Company was not involved in negotiating this transaction and will not receive any proceeds. Additionally, the Company expects to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission next week. The Company notes that the period covered by the 10-Q predates both its direct listing and the acquisition of its Portfolio Companies and therefore will not reflect the consolidated financial results of those subsidiaries. The financial results to be presented in the forthcoming Form 10-Q will reflect only the historical operations of the Company’s predecessor entity and will include transaction-related expenses incurred in connection with the business combination, as well as the effects of operational disruptions arising from, among other factors, closing the transaction, adverse weather conditions and military hostilities in the Middle East, each of which impacted performance during the first quarter. As a result, the Company believes the financial results that will be reported in the forthcoming Form 10-Q will not be representative of the Company’s normalized operating performance.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 9, 2026) – West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQX: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) (“West Point Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce drill results from the high-grade zone at Northeast (NE) Tyro, part of the recently completed drill program at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The two holes reported herein, GC26-134 and GC26-137, further confirm and validate the high-grade discoveries made via reverse circulation drilling (“RC”) at the NE Tyro Zone in drill core. The highlight intervals of 9.06 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 19.7 metres (“m”) and 3.2 g/t Au over 35.7m are in line with or exceed many prior results and continue to showcase the robust widths and high-grade tenor of the system at NE Tyro.

The 2025/2026 drilling campaign, comprising RC (18,683.3m) and core (2,395.7m), has now been completed, with a total of 21,079 m drilled. Approximately 7,025m of assays are pending and will be released over the next couple of months. With this year’s drilling now complete, the team will focus on integrating the results into the Company’s maiden mineral resource estimate (“MRE”), expected to be released later in 2026.

Highlights:

• Hole GC26-134 returned 19.7m of 9.06 g/t Au from 95.8 to 115.5m, about 20m above GC25-059 (15.3m of 7.02 g/t Au).
• Hole GC26-137 returned 35.7m of 3.2 g/t Au from 53.2 to 88.9m, including 10.2m of 10.23 g/t Au, about 20m above GC25-047 (38.1m of 4.86 g/t Au including 10.7m at 8.64 g/t Au).
• The two core holes were drilled across the high-grade zone previously defined by reverse-circulation drilling to provide improved confidence and context for the geologic, geometric, and gold-grade models.

“These results continue to highlight the high-grade nature of NE Tyro and the potential of this zone. Importantly, these core holes correlate well with proximal RC holes, providing confidence that the practices used for our RC drilling are producing representative results. With the 21,079m completed in the most recent drill campaign, we are now focused on analyzing the results for both our upcoming maiden resource estimate at Tyro Main and NE Tyro and the planning for our next drill program,” stated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO.

Summary
Both Holes GC26-134 and GC26-137 targeted areas proximal to defined high-grade gold mineralization from previous drilling (Figures 3 and 4). Aside from Hole GC24-034 (Figures 2 and 4), all holes in this area have been RC. To ensure that best practices are being followed and that the RC drilling is producing consistent results, it was deemed important to cross-reference higher-grade portions with core where detailed documentation of recovery, RQD, vein styles, textures, and density occurred. In summary, these two holes support the emerging geologic and grade models generated to date and improve the definition of the high-grade gold mineralization in the NE Tyro zone at the Company’s Gold Chain project in Arizona. The two holes comprising this release represent 298.4m of the now completed 21,079m drill program.

Both holes share several similarities in sectional view (Figures 3 and 4). The NE Tyro vein is a robust, fairly uniform structure that dips to the SE at 70^o to 75^o, and ranges in width from 15 to 25 metres. The width of the mineralized package varies relative to the development of quartz veinlets and stockwork in the hanging wall (“HW”) and ‘outboard’ from the principal quartz vein/breccia at the footwall (“FW”). Precambrian granite, along with lenses or ‘xenoliths’ of gneiss, schist, and amphibolite, is the host rock. Perhaps most importantly, several intercepts are hosted by or adjacent to fine-grained (aphanitic) felsic dike (Miocene), likely rhyolite, forming quartz-calcite-cemented breccia and stockwork. This spatial coincidence may reflect a preference for the gold-bearing fluids to follow the dikes (more brittle) and/or the contact with the hosting Precambrian (likely broken and faulted). The modeling of these features in the upcoming weeks will provide greater insight into deeper targets.

As shown in Figures 2 through 5, both Holes GC26-134 and GC26-137 traverse the vein at about the same elevation (760 – 790m ASL) or about 100m below the surface. Quartz >> calcite veinlets in propylitized (chlorite + quartz + pyrite) Precambrian rocks define the distal zone of veining and increase with depth from a few percent to 25% with occasional gold values. The main mineralized zone commences with moderate to strong quartz-calcite veinlets, stockwork and breccia giving way to a multi-stage breccia zone up to the FW contact (Figures 5 and 6). Evidence of faulting (Miocene) and shearing in the Precambrian rocks suggest a pre-Tertiary origin for the controlling structures.

Figure 3. Geologic section drawn along GC26-134 showing vein and spatial relation to GC21-013, GC25-087, GC25-059, GC25-086, GC26-161 and GC26-168 and the surface.

Veins and breccia composing the NE Tyro vein are multi-stage and comprised of quartz-chalcedony-calcite (bladed)-adularia with only trace amounts of pyrite (Figures 5 and 6). Surface-related oxidation is minimal and only seen along post-mineral fractures. However, local intervals or breccia fragments of weakly iron-stained bladed calcite and quartz along with fine, quartz-hematite veinlets suggest an event of hydrothermal oxidation. Bladed calcite or “lattice texture” has developed in several stages and ranges from delicate bands within crustiform/coliform-banded chalcedony to coarse, angular fragments in late-stage breccia. Native gold (Figure 7) has been observed within minute dendritic growths of a black opaque, perhaps electrum or a sulfosalt. The documentation of these features may prove to be important as the Company evaluates events related to gold deposition at greater depths.

Breccia textures are prevalent in these holes and were developed during multiple events. Aside from fault breccia observed at the vein’s FW contact, the vein package consists of broad intervals of weak (further into the HW) to strong stockwork/breccia composed of fine- (chalcedony) to medium- (sucrosic) to coarsely-crystalline (comb) quartz veins and veinlets with subordinate amounts of calcite dominantly in a bladed habit and native gold (see Figure 7); adularia (?) likely occurs in select bands or vein fragments revealing a tan to light pink coloration. Some breccia masses are ‘jigsaw’ in character, suggesting little or no fragment transport. Other breccias are fine-grained, heterolithic, and reveal fluidal or ‘streaming’ textures suggesting considerable transport (and energy). The dominance of breccias at the FW portion of the vein complex suggests both recurrent movement and explosive events likely related to deeper fluid boiling and potential gold deposition.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 9, 2026) – Riverside Resources Inc.  (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY) (“Riverside” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that the Second Phase drill program has commenced at the Union Project in northwest Sonora, Mexico. This work is being carried out by the Company operating in partnership with Questcorp Mining Inc. (CSE: QQQ), which is earning into the project through an option agreement from Riverside (press release, May 6, 2025).

Program Highlights

• Fully Funded Program Underway: A ~1,500-metre diamond drill program across 8 to 10 holes, each averaging 180 metres in depth, is fully funded and requires no near-term dilutive financing.
• Expanding Phase 1 Discoveries: Drilling is designed to expand zones of mineralization, including those intercepted during the Phase 1 program with results announced in January 2026, and to test new areas developed during the winter 2026 field program.
• District-Scale Target Testing: The program tests new targets and explores areas surrounding multiple historical mine workings across the 25 km² La Union project area.
• Two Mineralization Styles: Holes will test both the sediment-hosted gold mineralization identified in Phase 1 and carbonate-hosted replacement deposit (CRD) gold-silver-zinc mineralization, where gold is associated with mantos, chimneys, and structural zones.
• Structurally Targeted Drilling: Angled holes are oriented to intersect stratigraphic and structural targets at high angles, as is typical in CRD systems. Structural features interpreted as potential mineralizing conduits are a key focus of the program for high grade gold and zinc.
• Advanced Target De-Risking: Final drill positioning integrates property-wide structural mapping, 248 line-km of drone aeromagnetic coverage, and a recently completed property-wide induced polarization (IP) survey.
• Geological Analog: La Union’s CRD and sediment-hosted gold systems share geological characteristics with significant deposits in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States.
• Continuous News Flow: Exploration is coordinated with partner Questcorp Mining Inc. (CSE: QQQ), supporting milestone-driven news flow through summer 2026.

The exploration work over the past four months by Riverside has improved the understanding of the structural geology and stratigraphy of the project. The Union district lies along the flanks of this range with host stratigraphy that has now been studied for target layers that can host large bulk tonnage gold potential as found in Paleozoic sedimentary host units in Nevada and similarly in Sonora, Mexico. The improved mapping and detailed sampling underground delivered a better understanding of the chimney and manto aspects which include the structural feeder zones and post mineral faults. The exploration target focus is for a large potential gold discovery that expands from previous smaller scale mine operations on the property. Phase 2 drilling is intended to test the new concepts and expand beyond these past mining sites.

“We are exceptionally well-positioned to move ahead with this second phase of drilling, deploying 1 to 2 high-impact holes per target area to evaluate the deep root potentials of these sediment-hosted and CRD targets well beyond legacy past-mining boundaries,” said John-Mark Staude, CEO of Riverside Resources. “Advanced structural synthesis led by Riverside’s Alejandro Gracida has successfully pinned down the primary northwest-trending fault structures, which are interpreted to act as the primary structural plumbing and corridors for wide zones of high-grade feeder gold mineralization. The comprehensive IP Survey completed last week feeds directly into our real-time targeting models, and the program is advancing with rapid operational efficiency.”

“Today marks a transformative milestone for Questcorp as we transition from a successful target generation phase into aggressive discovery drilling,” said Saf Dhillon, President & CEO of Questcorp Mining. “Over the past several months, our integrated technical teams alongside our partners at Riverside have unlocked the true scale of the La Union district. Every layer of new data, from structural mapping to our newly completed IP geophysics, points toward a vast, interconnected mineralized system that remains largely untouched at depth.”

The drill program covers more than five target areas. It begins with follow-up at the Union Mine, where prior drilling resolved key stratigraphic and orientation questions, allowing this round to step out into ground adjacent to past mining. Underground work identified large-scale alteration and indications of a mineralized system, making this one of several priority areas. The high-grade gold-silver chip channel samples taken underground at the Union Mine will now be followed up with drilling.

The second phase of drilling will follow up on Phase 1 results and on the broader targets developed through the spring 2026 field exploration program. Phase 2 will consist of one to three holes per area, primarily for orientation and to expand on the Phase 1 drilling. Follow-up drilling beyond Phase 2 is planned and can be expanded based on results and on the geophysics completed over the past several months. The detailed stratigraphy, lithology, and structural framework developed by the Riverside geological team specifically targets high-grade, favorable horizons for sediment-hosted gold mineralization and CRD. The five target areas outside of the Union Mine are as follows:

• Union Main Mine – Jales Area – The program will use targeted drill holes to test limestone and other carbonate stratigraphic hosts within the Clemente Formation, with the potential to reach the underlying Caborca Formation. These units are considered the primary hosts for replacement-style mineralization and have gold, silver and zinc in oxide mineralization in the mine and could be potentially extensive.
• North Union Mine – Negra Area – The initial focus of the program will be on testing structural interpretations of NW fault feeder zones. The new Negra zone has provided gold mineralization in samples and now can be a new drill area which has never been tested.
• Luis Hill- Alej Hill Area – The upper part of the Clemente Formation revealed sediment hosted gold in Phase 1 drilling allowing the follow up work to potentially expand upon that. The geology team has carefully mapped the stratigraphy and structure geology northward for over 2 kilometers and this target could have vast potential. Careful structural mapping has found some critical cross feeder structures which the team will now target during this phase.
• Cobre Mine Area – The Clemente Formation is the primary host unit, and structural features combined with areas of past mining provide multiple target zones that can now be followed up after Phase 1 drilling. The careful 1:1000 mapping by Gracida across the NW features, along with detailed alteration mapping, gives Questcorp the best chances for success from their investment through Riverside in this work.
• Jabali Area – The primary targets are NW-striking structural veins, with 200 m of strike length identified to date and a surface width of 30 m across a series of low-sulfidation epithermal quartz veins. High-grade assays of over 5 g/t Au have been returned from this area. Drilling at Jabali during this phase will focus on two holes: one testing the vein target and one testing the source target. Detailed maps and cross-sections for each target have been prepared ahead of drilling to best define the conceptual targets.

General Overview of La Union Project

The Project is summarized in a recently published NI 43-101 Technical Report and, more briefly, on the Riverside website. Riverside initially acquired the Project and subsequently consolidated additional inlier mineral claims to build a strong land position. The company then advanced the Project through surface access agreements and drill permitting, making it a turnkey exploration opportunity for the Optionee.

The Project was originally identified through Riverside’s exploration work in the western Sonora Gold Belt, conducted in collaboration with AngloGold Ashanti Limited, Centerra Gold Inc., and Hochschild Mining Plc. Earlier PhD research by Riverside founder John-Mark Staude also contributed to recognizing the district’s potential. Initial work by members of the Riverside team, drawing on more than two decades of geological compilation and analysis, further confirmed the region as highly prospective.

At the Project, historical mining by Peñoles targeted chimney and manto-style replacement bodies within the upper oxide zones. As a result, the underlying sulfide zones represent immediate drill targets for further exploration.

The Project features favorable limestone host rocks, an extensive alteration footprint, and multiple small-scale historical workings, with mineralization styles similar to those at the Hermosa Project in southern Arizona. At Hermosa, South32 is advancing mine development after acquiring the project from Arizona Mining for over $400 million, and Hermosa is now considered one of Arizona’s most promising upcoming mining operations.

At La Union, immediate drill targets offer the potential for significant-scale discoveries. The Project is well positioned for near-term exploration results, with targets that include both oxide and deeper sulfide mineralization.

Qualified Person & QA/QC

The scientific and technical data contained in this news release pertaining to the Project was reviewed and approved by Freeman Smith, P.Geo, a non-independent qualified person to Riverside Resources Inc., who is responsible for ensuring that the 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.

Rock samples from previous exploration programs discussed above at the Project were taken to the SGS Laboratory in Hermosillo, Mexico for fire assaying for gold and ICP-ES for the multi-element package. The rejects remained with Riverside offices in Hermosillo. The ICP/ES analysis using 4-acid digestion methods has been used consistently for the program. A QA/QC program is continued as part of the sampling procedures for the exploration program. Standards were randomly inserted into the sample stream prior to being sent to the laboratory. Blanks and duplicates are run systematically with the QA-QC procedure in the sample stream.
