Riverside Resources Inc. Closes Oversubscribed $720,000 Charity Flow Through Private Placement for Ontario Exploration Including Drilling at the Oakes Project

Vancouver, February 16, 2022 - Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY) ("Riverside" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce it has closed its previously announced charity flow through private placement on February 15, 2022. The Company issued 3,430,833 common shares (each, a "Share") issued on a flow-through basis under the Income Tax Act (Canada) at a price of $0.21 per Share to raise aggregate proceeds of C$720,475 (the "Offering") with the Company paying no brokerage or finder fees. There is no warrant associated with this financing and the Company has no warrants outstanding.

The Company will use the funds towards a focused H1 2022 drill program at the 100% owned Oakes Gold Project in Ontario, Canada, and to follow up on trenching and IP work completed in 2021 as well as other work in Ontario. The mineralized zone at Oakes shows high grade gold and is similar to the mineralization style at the Hard Rock deposit 25km to the southwest (see press release date December 11, 2019). Riverside has progressed its projects in the Geraldton Gold Belt and now these funds can immediately be put into mineral exploration work with a focused Ontario work program.

The Offering is subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The securities being offered have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons without United States federal and state registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The Shares are subject to a four month hold period expiring on June 16, 2022.
