La Union Project is located in westerns Sonora approximately 30 km south of Caborca part of the orogenic gold trend and is within close proximity of major mines such as: Noche Buena, La Herradura and Cerro Colorado. La Union has only seen small-scale production dating back to the 1950s by Peñoles and local families. The Project has since been left unexplored until 2012, when Paget and Millrock started exploration work. High-grade rock chip samples taken by Paget and Millrock triggered Riverside’s attention to the project and in 2019, Riverside purchased the project as part of a five Mexico project portfolio acquisition.
Riverside has since worked on expanding its current footprint at the La Union Project evaluating the existing system of mineralization and its potential and has received over $500,000 in funding from Hochschild Mining in 2022 for work and payments. October 2021 highlighted the high-grade gold mineralization (up to 59.8 g/t), Ag (833 g/t), Pb (5.8%), Zn (4.2%) in samples helping the Company better characterize the size of the system.
