Riverstone Resources Inc. announced results from the first twenty three Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drill holes completed on the Company’s Karma gold project in Burkina Faso, West Africa. The holes were drilled in the immediate area of the GG1 deposit, one of four deposits that comprise the Karma project, to test several gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies with the objective of locating new mineralized areas. Eleven of the twenty-three holes returned anomalous values in gold ranging from 269 ppb to 1.44 g/t over widths ranging from 3.0 metres to 51.0 metres. A number of the anomalous holes require additional offset drilling to determine if there is any continuity of the mineralization. However, six of the holes have established a new 700 metre long zone that is still open to the west. The six holes were drilled to test a gold-in-soil anomaly that is parallel to and south of the known GG1 mineralization and could represent a new area of mineralization. The ongoing drill program at Karma comprises up to 6,000 metres of drilling, divided roughly equally between reverse circulation drilling (RC) and rotary air blast drilling (RAB). The planned RAB drilling has been completed; 60 RAB holes totaling 2,857 metres were drilled in the area of the Goulagou (GG1 & GG2) deposits and 15 holes totaling 751 metres were drilled near the Rambo deposit. RC drilling has commenced on the Kao Permit.

Riverstone Resources Inc. announced that it has commenced a drill program on its Karma project in Burkina Faso, West Africa. The program will comprise approximately 6,000 metres of drilling, divided roughly equally between reverse circulation ('RC') and rotary air blast ('RAB') drilling. The Karma project has four separate gold deposits supporting a NI 43-101 resource estimate of 820,500 ounces of gold in the indicated category and 320,300 ounces in the inferred category. The objectives of the up-coming program are to test for extensions beyond the known mineralized zones and to collect samples for metallurgical testwork purposes. It is expected that the program will take approximately seven weeks to complete.
