Rise Gold Corp. reported that the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California has granted summary judgment in favor of Community Environmental Advocates in Case 2:24-cv-03643, in litigation over alleged unpermitted pollutant discharges from historic Idaho-Maryland mine shafts under the Clean Water Act.
The company’s subsidiary Rise Grass Valley is the defendant and continues to dispute that mine water below 200 feet is causing any violations, citing its sampling, geological conditions, and the presence of other pollutants that it says could not originate from the mine. Management and legal counsel are reviewing the ruling.
Rise notes that it acquired the Idaho-Maryland property in 2017, later submitted a dewatering and reopening permit application with an NPDES permit and water treatment plant in 2019, and that Nevada County denied the project’s environmental review and conditional use permit in 2024.
Rise Gold Corp. reports that the Superior Court of California for the County of Nevada has denied its Writ of Mandamus seeking recognition of a vested right to operate the Idaho-Maryland Mine without a permit. The Court found a constitutional right to mine vested in 1954 but concluded that any vested mining right was abandoned by no later than 1963.
The Company disagrees with the Court’s analysis, citing historical evidence it believes shows an intent to preserve mining rights, and plans to appeal. Rise states that if its Writ ultimately fails on appeal, it expects its mineral estate to lose all value and indicates it could then pursue a takings action seeking just compensation, which it conservatively estimates at at least $400 million.
Rise Gold Corp. entered a strategic development partnership with Morgan Hughes Energy to advance the Idaho-Maryland Mine as a U.S.-based gold and critical-minerals project. Morgan Hughes will help with development planning, capital formation and positioning the project within domestic industrial and critical-minerals initiatives.
As part of an 18‑month agreement, Rise Gold will issue 18 million warrants to Morgan Hughes at a strike price of USD $0.40, expiring December 31, 2029, vesting in stages upon specific project milestones. Morgan Hughes may also receive a USD $1.5 million milestone payment if material development participation or capital commitments are secured within 36 months, while a fallback reimbursement of USD $250,000 or 1,800,000 short‑term warrants applies if milestones are not met. The filing also notes a pending Writ of Mandamus related to operating rights for the Idaho-Maryland Mine, with oral arguments scheduled for March 6, 2026.
Rise Gold Corp. reported a schedule change in its ongoing legal proceedings related to its Writ of Mandamus involving Nevada County. The company had previously expected oral arguments to be heard on January 9, 2026, based on an agreed schedule among Rise Gold, Nevada County, and the Superior Court of California for the County of Nevada.
On January 8, 2026, the Court, on its own initiative, postponed these oral arguments to March 6, 2026. Rise Gold provided additional information in a press release dated January 9, 2026, which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
