At the Rule Symposium in Boca Raton, Florida, John-Mark Staude, President and CEO of Riverside Resources, Inc (TSXV: RRI | OTCQB: RVSDF | FSE: 5YY), provided updates on the company’s projects and shared his perspective on ESG reporting in the mining sector.

Riverside recently expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of the Maria Luisa Copper Property, adjacent to its Ariel Property in Mexico. This strategic move consolidates an additional 30% of the area and secures a direct drill target for the Ariel project. The newly acquired property presents an undrilled, high-quality target just 18 km east of Mexico’s second-largest copper mine, the La Caridad Copper Mining Complex, operated by Grupo Mexico Mining for four decades.

Staude expressed enthusiasm about the Cecilia Project in Sonora, which Riverside has optioned to Fortuna Mining. The project is progressing towards a drilling phase, targeting depths significantly beyond Riverside’s usual scope.

Highlighting Riverside’s agile approach to exploration, Staude said: “We want to make discovery as soon as possible, so if we kill this one, that’s okay. We have other targets, other properties. That’s the special thing about Riverside, most juniors can’t do that. They can’t take the risk.”

Addressing concerns about Mexico’s changing political landscape, Staude emphasized Riverside’s robust position: “For Riverside, we have titled projects, permitted projects…I wouldn’t say we’re completely shielded but we’re protected from whatever policies [will change].”
