RISE GOLD ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF SECOND SALE OF INDUSTRIAL LAND AND PAYING OFF THE SECURED DEBT

Rise Gold Corp. has closed the second sale agreement of land for a sale price of $2.5-million.

On Nov. 27, 2024, Rise announced the sale of 66 acres of industrial land located adjacent to the company's Idaho-Maryland (I-M) mine property for $4.3-million to an arm's-length third party in two transactions. The first of these transactions covered 16 acres of land for total consideration of $1.8-million, including $900,000 at closing, minus certain transaction fees and an additional $900,000 due on Nov. 27, 2026. Rise negotiated a discounted, accelerated payment with the purchaser, whereby the company received $702,000 on Jan. 15, 2025, in lieu of the payment due in 2026.

The second sale agreement covered 50 acres of land for a total sale price of $2.5-million and this transaction closed on May 27, 2025, with half of the sale price paid on closing and the other half due on May 27, 2027. Commencing on the closing date, the buyer will pay monthly interest at an annual rate of 5 per cent per year on the balance of the purchase price until it is paid in full. A portion of the proceeds totalling $680,000 was allocated to pay off the remaining balance of the company's secured debt, and the balance of the funds is available to the company to support operations and its legal claims against Nevada County.

Rise and the purchaser have also executed an option agreement, whereby the company may repurchase the 66 acres of land being sold for the sale price plus the cost of any capital improvements plus an increase of five percent per year on the condition that Rise acquires final government approval to perform mining operations at the I-M mine property.

The company retains ownership of the I-M mine property, which comprises 53 acres of land surrounding the New Brunswick shaft, as well as its nearby 56-acre Centennial property, and it retains all of its 2,585 acres of mineral rights.

As previously disclosed in its news release dated May 13, 2024, the company has submitted a writ of mandamus to the Superior Court of California for the County of Nevada asking the court to compel the board of supervisors of the county to follow applicable law and grant Rise recognition of its constitutionally protected, grandfathered vested right to operate the mine.

Rise's litigation attorneys at Cooper & Kirk have advised the company that should the writ be unsuccessful, Rise's mineral estate will lose all value, which will allow Rise to bring a takings action in federal court against the county under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The remedy for an unconstitutional taking is the payment of just compensation, which is the fair market value of the property taken. Based on comparable mines and historic yields at the I-M mine, management believes the fair market value of Rise's mineral estate is at least $400-million.
