Riverside Resources Inc. has successfully consolidated the Famosa Area within the Union Project district in Mexico===Sonora, Mexico, by completing the final payment of US$125,000 and transferring mineral titles from Pacific Comox S.A. de C.V. to its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary, Riverside Resources===RRM Exploración S.A.P.I. de C.V. The total acquisition cost was US$175,000, with no net smelter royalty attached. This transaction grants Riverside Resources clear ownership of the La Famosa and Dana 7 concessions, which are crucial for the southern part of the Union Project. The Famosa Area is known for carbonate replacement deposit (CRD)-style mineralization and structurally controlled gold mineralization. This consolidation strengthens Riverside Resources' district-scale land position, enhances exploration potential, and provides greater flexibility for future exploration programs, which are partly funded by partner Questcorp under an existing option agreement.
