Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 24, 2023) - Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY) ("Riverside" or the "Company"), Riverside is pleased to announce that it has acquired part of the Mount Grace Carbonatite known to host Rare Earth Elements ("REEs"). The Company continues to expand its presence in British Columbia adding this a prospective REE project to its critical metals' portfolio. The Company has staked 2538 ha. (25 km²) of terrain that hosts carbonatites mapped by the British Columbia Geologic Survey and confirmed by subsequent explorers. The Project has been named "Revel" and is located 20 km from the community of Seymour Arm within a highly prospective carbonatite belt north of Revelstoke, BC. The Project is 100% owned by Riverside with no underlying royalties or encumbrances.

Rare Earth Elements, or REEs, have become important metals worldwide as countries race to usher in a green economy, with less reliance on fossil fuels and more reliance on electrical grids and EV's. Most countries have begun protecting these elements and listing them as strategic or critical, acknowledging the importance of these metals to future economic growth and even sovereignty. Canada and particularly BC have geological environments that host several different types of rare earth element deposits. REE carbonatites are discrete layers of either of material being depositing on the surface during volcanic activity or intrusive layers of magma injected between layers of existing rock. At Revel the property has high values of niobium and light rare earth elements similar to those found and mined in the USA at Mountain Pass. Revel geology with carbonatite has both intrusive and volcanic styles of REE with the Company's mapping and on-going sampling shown below and on the website site.

John-Mark Staude, President and CEO, commented on the recent acquisition: "we are excited to have acquired Revel, a quality REE project with no underlying royalties or encumbrances in a geologically prospective area within a stable political jurisdiction. The new Project compliments Riverside's growing portfolio in British Columbia and positions the company well in this rapidly evolving space.
