Riverstone Increases Strike Length of the Goulagou I Deposit to 1.5 Kilometres
Riverstone Increases Strike Length of the Goulagou I Deposit to 1.5 Kilometres
September 1, 2010 Symbols: TSXV – RVS; Frankfurt – 3RV
Riverstone Resources Inc. (TSX-V: RVS) is pleased to report more positive results from the drill program at its Goulagou I gold deposit in Burkina Faso, West Africa (See Map on Website). The goal of the drill program is to upgrade and expand the current resource at the two Goulagou deposits, as well as the other two deposits that comprise the Company’s Karma gold project.
The gold mineralization at Goulagou I has now been traced over a minimum strike length of 1.5 kilometres. The eastern half of the mineralization appears to be confined to a single zone but the westernmost 800 metres of the zone is comprised of multiple parallel zones of gold mineralization with a width of approximately 200 metres. The Goulagou I zone is still open to the west.
“We continue to be pleased with the results from our drilling on Goulagou I”, commented M.D. McInnis, President and CEO of Riverstone. “The western portion with its multiple zones is particularly interesting from a potential mining perspective as the dilution could be minimized”.
Significant mineralized intercepts are reported in the following table. For results of holes previously released this year see News Releases dated May 25, June 29, July 7, and July 20, 2010.

The Goulagou deposits are part of the Company’s Karma project which, in addition to the Goulagou deposits, comprises the Rambo, Kao and the promising new Nami site. The Goulagou property is subject to an Option to Purchase agreement with Golden Star Resources Ltd. Since March 2010, the Company has drilled over 15,000 metres of RC drilling and over 2,000 metres of diamond drilling, in addition to over 7,000 metres of RAB drilling at Nami. Additional drill sample results are expected to be released over the next few weeks.
Riverstone maintains a quality control program involving the use of repeat assays, inserted blanks and the use of certified standards from an accredited Canadian laboratory. All rock samples were assayed using standard fire assay with atomic absorption techniques, with samples grading over two grams gold per tonne re-assayed with a gravimetric finish, at the independent Abilab Burkina SARL laboratories in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, which is part of the ALS Chemex group.
Riverstone Resources Inc. is active in gold exploration in Burkina Faso, West Africa, where the company holds an extensive portfolio of six high quality exploration permits covering 2,300 square kilometres.
