Riverstone Announces Independent Technical Report on the Karma Gold Project
Riverstone Announces Independent Technical Report on the Karma Gold Project

Riverstone Resources Inc. (TSXV:RVS) is pleased to announce that an independent, NI 43-101 compliant technical report prepared by Wardrop Engineering for the Karma Project in Burkina Faso, West Africa has been received and filed on SEDAR.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Initial NI 43-101 compliant gold resource estimate on the Karma Project of 820,500 ounces in the indicated category and 320,300 ounces in the inferred category. (See Table 1)
• Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike at all four of the deposits that comprise the Karma Project.
• Four gold deposits discovered to date, with numerous gold occurrences and artisanal workings not yet drill tested.
• The resource is shallow with 95% above 100 metres in depth.
• Wardrop recommends a $1.375 million two-phase work program on the Karma project comprising metallurgical test work on the Kao deposits and additional drilling on the Kao, Goulagou 1 and Goulagou 2 deposits.

Please find the table with the results under the following link: http://www.irw-press.com/dokumente/Riverstone060709Table1.pdf

The Karma Project consists of four separate deposits – Kao, Rambo, GG1 and GG2. The GG1 and GG2 deposits are 8 kilometres west of Rambo, and Kao is 7 kilometres south of Rambo, allowing the company to envision the establishment of a central processing facility (see Figure 1 attached). In addition, there are numerous other gold occurrences and artisanal workings in the immediate vicinity of each of the deposits which require evaluation. The Kao deposit, in particular, has demonstrable potential to significantly increase in size based on RAB drilling results and adjacent gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies

The Company is currently planning a work program for the balance of 2009 comprising both RAB and RC drilling with the objective of expanding the current resource.

Riverstone Resources Inc. is active in gold exploration in Burkina Faso, West Africa, where the Company holds an extensive portfolio of high-quality exploration permits covering 2,610 square kilometres.
