# Riverside Resources and Questcorp Chip-Channel Sample High Grade Gold-Silver 30m @ 20 g/t Gold and 226 g/t Silver and Announce Drill Results from Union Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/riverside-resources-and-questcorp-chip-channel-sample-high-grade-gold-silver-30m--1d77a117-80c2-4821-8491-0cb2dc770e39 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/RRI/news/8188170151187126/riverside-resources-and-questcorp-chip-channel-sample-high-grade-gold-silver-30m Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-01-22T08:05:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Riverside Resources Inc. - Ticker: RRI - Exchange: TSX - Region: Sonora, Mexico - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver, Zinc, Lead - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-26 06:46:45 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Riverside Resources and Questcorp reported high-grade 30m chip-channel sampling at the Union Mine \(20 g/t Au, 226 g/t Ag\) and completed Phase 1 drilling. The program successfully identified both Carbonate Replacement Deposit \(CRD\) style mineralization and a new sediment-hosted gold \(SHGD\) target at Luis Hill. Reasoning: The release reports high-grade surface sampling and significant new drill results that identify two distinct mineralization styles \(CRD and SHGD\), expanding the project's potential. - Positive factor: High-grade chip-channel sampling \(20 g/t Au\) - Positive factor: Discovery of new sediment-hosted gold \(SHGD\) style at Luis Hill - Positive factor: Multi-element signatures \(Zn, Ag, Au, Pb\) consistent with CRD targets - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed \(standards, blanks, duplicates\) - Negative factor: True widths not known due to folding/faulting - Negative factor: Channel sampling does not represent true width Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Identification of new SHGD-style mineralization at Luis Hill represents a new discovery/extension of the project's potential. Evidence · text > This represents a new finding for this part of Sonora and is significant for both the property and the region **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release details the use of standards, blanks, and duplicates, and mentions a certified laboratory process. Evidence · text > Standards were inserted every 20 samples and blanks every 100 samples. The laboratory also duplicated every 20 samples **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The high-grade channel sample is explicitly noted as not representing true width. Evidence · text > Channel sampling along the mine adit entrance access wall and does not represent true width ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
