Riverside Resources Inc. announced that BHP and Riverside have agreed on moving forward with a third year of generative funding for copper exploration in Sonora, Mexico. Riverside and BHP have established a strong working relationship and foundation for ongoing generative work with a growing pipeline of copper prospects within the Laramide Copper Belt. This month the BHP Exploration Funding Agreement ("EFA" or "Alliance") commences its third year with a budget of USD 1,300,000 for additional generative exploration. Generative budgets have increased from USD 600,000 in year one, to USD 1.3 million in the second year and now a third year. This funding is part of a larger overall funding package relating to the portfolio of copper assets that the BHP-Riverside Program has generated by completing extensive exploration work over five district areas. The generative program aims to secure and consolidate additional prospective ground in high potential copper districts in Sonora. The Sonora Region is a prolific area for porphyry copper deposits and includes some of the world's larger copper mines such as the Cananea mining district and La Caridad mine complex. These types of giant porphyry mineral systems are found in specific geological environments for which Sonora has shown significant endowment and the potential for new exploration discoveries. The Company has successfully identified conductors with geophysical programs, developed gravity cover thickness models and initiated the drill permitting process in preparation for more advanced exploration work expected during H2 2021. Additional updates on specific projects of interest will be released in the coming weeks.
