| Size: | 1640 Ha (16 km sq) |
| Status: | Permitted for drilling and Riverside has conducted field work with partners as well as self funded putting project in position to be partnered for exploration and rapid drilling |
The Ariel Project is strategically located 18 km ESE of the world-class La Caridad Cu-Mo porphyry mine operation (~10 Mt of Cu metal reserves), and 24 km SE of the Los Alisos Cu porphyry prospect. To the best of RRI’s knowledge, the area has not been drill tested previously and represents a high quality copper district target.
The Ariel property was staked by Riverside in late 2015 working with partner Antofagasta Mining and developed out of a strong reconnaissance regional prospecting program in the area. Access to the Property is good with 30 km on dirt roads from paved highways where power grid and other infrastructure are in place servicing the nearby La Caridad mine and mill complex which is the 2nd largest copper producer in Mexico with production by Grupo Mexico Mining.
