Riverside's cash position has increased to well over $3.5M and the revised deal fits Riverside's business approach of partnering on properties while maintaining a royalty and major equity position in its partner companies. Riverside and its shareholders have solid upside exposure on future project or partner success with limited downside risk."

Riverside and Croesus have agreed to a minimum value for Riverside's common shares in Croesus once a public listing is achieved, and Croesus shall issue additional share payments to Riverside to compensate for any shortfall.

For a period of 30 months from the Amendment date, if Croesus sells, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of the Project to a third party for valuable consideration (a "Property Sale"), Croesus shall pay to Riverside a percentage of the proceeds.
