(the "Company" or "Rise") which represent our current expectations or beliefs, including statements concerning our operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Report that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipate", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel, our ability to continue our growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.

**CURRENCY**

In this Report, unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars and references to $ are to U.S. dollars.

**PART I**

**Item 1. Business**

**DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS**

We are a mineral exploration company that was incorporated in the state of Nevada in 2007. Our primary asset is our interest in the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine property (the "I-M Mine Property"), which is a major past producing high-grade property near Grass Valley, California, United States, which we own outright through our wholly owned Nevada subsidiary, Rise Grass Valley Inc. ("Rise Grass Valley").

Our common stock is currently listed in Canada on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "RISE". We are a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario in Canada. Our common stock is also currently traded in the United States on the OTCQB Market under the symbol "RYES". We are an SEC reporting company by virtue of our class of common stock being registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

**Business Development**

Developments in our Company's business during the July 31, 2025 fiscal year and subsequent to year end, include the following:

**Update on the Legal Efforts Regarding the Vested Right to Mine at the I-M Mine Property**

On September 6, 2023, the Company submitted a petition to Nevada County, California (the "County") asserting its constitutionally protected vested right to mine at the I-M Mine Property without a use permit.

On December 13 and 14, 2023, the Board of Supervisors of the County (the "Board") held a public hearing regarding the Company's petition and the Board adopted a resolution rejecting the Company's vested rights petition to operate the I-M Mine Property.

------

On May 13, 2024, the Company submitted a Writ of Mandamus (the "Writ") to the Superior Court of California for the County of Nevada (the "Court") asking the Court to compel the Board to follow applicable law and grant Rise recognition of its vested right to operate the I-M Mine Property.

Subsequent to filing the Writ, Rise sold three non-core surface parcels to repay debt and obtain the funds necessary to litigate the writ. The County brought a motion for summary judgement in the writ proceedings, arguing that Rise had lost standing because of the sale of the parcels.

On August 8, 2025, the Court rejected the County's motion, ruling: "Rise [has] a beneficial interest in the mine property it owns that is the subject of its vested right petition: if its vested right to mine is recognized, Rise possesses all of the surface and mineral estate necessary to begin mining."

On September 12, 2025, the Court signed a stipulation from the County and Rise providing that Rise would submit its initial brief on the case on September 15, 2025, the County will submit its opposition by November 18, 2025, Rise will reply by December 5, 2025, and oral arguments will take place on January 9, 2026.

**Other Business Development**

On October 24, 2025, the Company closed a financing and raised US$7,000,000 through the issuance of up to 36,585,361 units at a price of US$0.25 per Unit, with each unit comprising one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price of US$0.45 for a period of three years from the date of issuance.

On May 22, 2025, the Company granted a total of 3,320,000 stock options to directors, officers, and consultants of the Company. The stock options are exercisable at a price of US$0.10 per share until May 22, 2030.

On May 16, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its drilling equipment for a sale price of $200,000. $100,000 was received on June 6, 2025 and subsequent payments of $50,000 payable for each of the two drilling rigs sold are to be received when each rig drills its first hole to a depth of 200m.

On May 8, 2025, the Company closed a financing and raised $3,000,000 through the issuance of up to 36,585,361 units at a price of US$0.082 per Unit (~CDN$0.11), with each unit comprising one share of common stock and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price of US$0.15 (~CDN$0.21) for a period of three years from the date of issuance.

On March 25, 2025, the Company granted a total of 1,142,410 stock options to directors and officers of the Company. The stock options are exercisable at a price of US$0.10 per share until March 25, 2030.

On November 27, 2024, the Company announced it had contracted to sell 66 acres of industrial land located adjacent to the Company's I-M Mine Property for $4.3 million. The sale transaction is subject to two sale agreements with the same, arm's length third party. The first agreement covers 16 acres of land for total consideration of $1.8 million. That contract closed on November 27, 2024 with the payment of half the sale price, minus certain deductions. The balance of the purchase price is due on November 27, 2026. The buyer will pay monthly interest at an annual rate of 5% per year on the balance of the purchase price until it is paid in full. On January 14, 2025, the Company and the Purchaser negotiated a discounted, accelerated payment with the purchaser whereby the Company received $702,000 in lieu of the second $900,000 payment due in November 2026.

------

The second sale agreement covers 50 acres of land for total sale price of $2.5 million and closed on May 27, 2025, at which point half of the sale price was due, with the other half due on May 27, 2027. Commencing on the closing date, the buyer is required to pay monthly interest at an annual rate of 5% per year on the balance of the purchase price until it is paid in full. The Company 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 approvals to perform mining operations at the I-M Mine Property. The Company retains ownership of the I-M Mine Property, which is comprised of 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.

On November 20, 2024, the Company appointed Mihai Draguleasa as the Company's Chief Financial Officer in place of Vince Boon and Catherine Cox as the Company's Corporate Secretary in place of Eileen Au. On October 30, 2024, John Proust, Murray Flanigan and Benjamin Mossman resigned as directors of the Company.

On October 21, 2024, the Company granted 1,006,750 stock options to a consultant of the Company. The stock options are exercisable at a price of $0.11 per share until October 21, 2029.

On October 10, 2024, the Company finalized a secured loan agreement with Myrmikan Gold Fund, LLC (the "Lender") for a $500,000 loan (the "Loan") which will be used for the Company's working capital. The Loan has a term of 4 years with an interest rate of 15% per annum with interest accruing and payable along with the principal upon maturity. The Company issued 2,882,514 share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.1735 with a 4 year expiry period as additional consideration for advancing the Loan. The Loan may be repaid prior to the maturity date, in whole or in part, provided that all accrued interest is paid. The Loan was secured against the assets of the Company and its subsidiary. Daniel Oliver Jr., a director of the Company (a related party) is the managing member of the Lender. Mr. Oliver disclosed his interest in the transaction and abstained from voting on the Company's resolution approving the Loan. The Company repaid the loan and accrued interest in full in May 2025.

On September 20, 2024, the Company granted 1,006,750 stock options to the Company's President and CEO. The stock options are exercisable at a price of $0.10 per share until September 20, 2029.

On September 10, 2024, the Company finalized an amended debt agreement with Eridanus Capital LLC ("Eridanus") to extend an existing loan by one year to September 4, 2025 along with a reduction in interest rate to 15% per annum for a period of 12 months (commencing September 4, 2024). The Company issued 1,700,000 share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.115 to Eridanus as consideration for the extension. The share purchase warrants have a 4 year expiry period from the date of issuance. Eridanus directed that 340,000 of the 1,700,000 share purchase warrants be issued to Daniel Oliver Jr., a member of Eridanus, and a director of the Company. The Company repaid the Eridanus loan in full in May 2025.

**Plan of Operations** 

As at July 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $2,783,348, compared to a cash balance of $243,669 as of July 31, 2024.

Our plan of operations for the next 12 months is to continue the litigation in pursuit of protecting the Company's property rights under both California state and U.S. federal laws.

------

On May 13, 2024, the Company reported that we had submitted a Writ of Mandamus to the Court asking the Court to compel the Board of Supervisors of Nevada County (the "Board of Supervisors") to follow applicable law and grant recognition of the Company's vested right to operate our I-M Mine Property. The Company's position in this matter is that the Board of Supervisors' December 2023 decision to deny the Company's vested rights petition adversely infringed on our fundamental and constitutional property rights. The Company contends that the Court is compelled to use its independent judgement and consider the administrative record de novo (i.e., "afresh" or "from the beginning") and without deference to the Board of Supervisors' arguments or conclusions.

On September 12, 2025 the Court signed a stipulation from the County and Rise providing that Rise would submit its initial brief on the case on September 15, 2025, the County will submit its opposition by November 18, 2025, Rise will reply by December 5, 2025, and oral arguments will take place on January 9, 2026.

**Project Design**

The Use Permit application proposes underground mining to recommence at an average throughput of 1,000 tons per day. The existing Brunswick Shaft, which extends to ~3400 feet depth below surface, would be used as the primary rock conveyance from the I-M Mine Property. A second service shaft would be constructed by raising from underground to provide for the conveyance of personnel, materials, and equipment. Gold processing would be done by gravity and flotation to produce gravity and flotation gold concentrates. Processing equipment and operations would be fully enclosed in attractive modern buildings and numerous mature trees located on the perimeter of the Brunswick site would be retained to provide visual shielding of aboveground project facilities and operations.

The Company would produce barren rock from underground tunnelling and sand tailings as part of the project which would be used for creation of approximately 58 acres of level and useable industrial zoned land for future economic development in the County.

A water treatment plant and pond, using conventional processes, would ensure that groundwater pumped from the mine is treated to regulatory standards before being discharged to the local waterways.

Detailed studies by professionals in the fields of civil and electrical engineering, biology, hydrology, cultural resources, traffic, air quality, human health, vibration, and sound have guided the design of the project.

Approximately 300 employees would be required if the mine reaches full production.

**Employees**

During the prior year ended July 31, 2024, from August 1, 2023 to September 23, 2023, the Company had one full-time employee, which was the former Chief Executive Officer and President, who now serves as an advisor to the Company. Our current Chief Executive Officer and President provides services pursuant to a consulting agreement, and other officers and directors provide services to us on an as-needed basis. We plan to rely on their efforts, as well as those of a number of independent consultants, to manage our operations for the foreseeable future.

------

**Government Regulations**

We plan to engage in mineral exploration and development activities and will accordingly be exposed to environmental risks associated with mineral exploration activity. We are the operator of the I-M Mine Property.

Our exploration and development activities will be subject to extensive federal, state and local laws, regulations and permits governing protection of the environment. Among other things, our operations must comply with the provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 as administered by the United States Department of Labor.

Our plan is to conduct our operations in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. We believe that our operations comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations in all material respects.

The costs associated with implementing and complying with environmental requirements can be substantial and possible future legislation and regulations could cause us to incur additional operating expenses, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in developing or conducting operations on our properties, including the I-M Mine Property, the extent of which cannot be predicted with any certainty.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

**Risks Related to Our Business** 

***Increased levels of volatility or a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.***

In recent years, global financial conditions have been characterized by increased volatility which has impacted many industries, including the mining industry. Global financial conditions are subject to sudden and rapid destabilization in response to current and future events, as governmental authorities may have limited resources to respond to such events. Global capital markets continue to experience increased volatility in response to global events such as the significant increase in the rate of inflation in recent years, and the effects of certain countermeasures taken by central banks including increased interest rates. Future economic crises may be precipitated by any number of causes, including natural disasters, epidemics (such as the COVID-19 virus pandemic), geopolitical instability and war (such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Palestine conflict), the failure of financial institutions, terrorism, material changes in the price of oil, the volatility of metal prices, and the volatility of global financial markets. Continued increased levels of volatility or a sudden or rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could negatively impact our ability to obtain equity or debt financing or to make other suitable arrangements to finance our Idaho-Maryland Mine Project which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.

***Our ability to continue to operate as a going concern depends on our ability to obtain adequate financing in the future.***

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to maintain continued support from its shareholders and creditors and to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.

------

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. However, management believes that the Company can raise sufficient working capital to meet its projected minimum financial obligations for the next fiscal year. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. We are an exploration stage company and we have incurred losses since our inception.

***We will require significant additional capital to fund our business plan.***

We will be required to expend significant funds to determine whether proven and probable mineral reserves exist at our properties, to continue exploration and, if warranted, to develop our existing properties, and to identify and acquire additional properties to diversify our property portfolio. We anticipate that we will be required to make substantial capital expenditures for the continued exploration and, if warranted, development of our I-M Mine Property. We have spent and will be required to continue to expend significant amounts of capital for drilling, geological, and geochemical analysis, assaying, permitting, and feasibility studies with regard to the results of our exploration at our I-M Mine Property. We may not benefit from some of these investments if we are unable to identify commercially exploitable mineral reserves.

In addition, the Company may incur significant legal costs going forward should it decide to litigate in pursuit of protecting its property rights under both California state and U.S. federal laws, including asserting its 5th Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution and other due process rights under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, amongst other legal remedies that are available to the Company.

Our ability to obtain necessary funding for these purposes, in turn, depends upon a number of factors, including the status of the national and worldwide economy and the price of metals. Capital markets worldwide were adversely affected by substantial losses by financial institutions, caused by investments in asset-backed securities and remnants from those losses continue to impact the ability for us to raise capital. We may not be successful in obtaining the required financing or, if we can obtain such financing, such financing may not be on terms that are favorable to us.

Our inability to access sufficient capital for our operations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or prospects. Sales of substantial amounts of securities may have a highly dilutive effect on our ownership or share structure. Sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of those shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of common stock. We have not yet commenced commercial production at any of our properties and, therefore, have not generated positive cash flows to date and have no reasonable prospects of doing so unless successful commercial production can be achieved at our I-M Mine Property. We expect to continue to incur negative investing and operating cash flows until such time as we enter into successful commercial production. This will require us to deploy our working capital to fund such negative cash flow and to seek additional sources of financing. There is no assurance that any such financing sources will be available or sufficient to meet our requirements. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise equity capital or to secure additional debt financing, or that we will not continue to incur losses.

***We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects.***

Since our inception, we have had no revenue from operations. We have no history of producing products from any of our properties. Our Idaho-Maryland Mine Project is a historic, past-producing mine which, apart from the exploration work that we have completed since 2016, has had very little recent exploration work since 1956. We would require further exploration work in order to reach the development stage. Advancing our I-M Mine Property into the development stage will require significant capital and time, and successful commercial production from the I-M Mine Property will be subject to completing feasibility studies, permitting and re-commissioning of the mine, constructing processing plants, and other related works and infrastructure. As a result, we are subject to all of the risks associated with developing and establishing new mining operations and business enterprises including:

------

* completion of feasibility studies to verify reserves and commercial viability, including the ability to find sufficient ore reserves to support a commercial mining operation;

* the timing and cost, which can be considerable, of further exploration, preparing feasibility studies, permitting and construction of infrastructure, mining and processing facilities;

* the availability and costs of drill equipment, exploration personnel, skilled labor, and mining and processing equipment, if required;

* the availability and cost of appropriate smelting and/or refining arrangements, if required;

* compliance with stringent environmental and other governmental approval and permit requirements;

* the availability of funds to finance exploration, development, and construction activities, as warranted;

* potential opposition from non-governmental organizations, local groups or local inhabitants that may delay or prevent development activities;

* potential increases in exploration, construction, and operating costs due to changes in the cost of fuel, power, materials, and supplies; and

* potential shortages of mineral processing, construction, and other facilities related supplies.

The costs, timing, and complexities of exploration, development, and construction activities may be increased by the location of our properties and demand by other mineral exploration and mining companies. It is common in exploration programs to experience unexpected problems and delays during drill programs and, if commenced, development, construction, and mine start-up. In addition, our management and workforce will need to be expanded, and sufficient support systems for our workforce will have to be established. This could result in delays in the commencement of mineral production and increased costs of production. Accordingly, our activities may not result in profitable mining operations, and we may not succeed in establishing mining operations or profitably producing metals at any of our current or future properties, including our I-M Mine Property.

***We have a history of losses and expect to continue to incur losses in the future.***

We have incurred losses since inception, have had negative cash flow from operating activities, and expect to continue to incur losses in the future. We have incurred the following losses from operations during each of the following periods:

* $3,260,358 for the year ended July 31, 2025

* $3,565,631 for the year ended July 31, 2024

* $3,660,382 for the year ended July 31, 2023

* $3,464,127 for the year ended July 31, 2022

We expect to continue to incur losses unless and until such time as one of our properties enters into commercial production and generates sufficient revenues to fund continuing operations. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from mining operations and/or dispositions of our properties, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. At this early stage of our operation, we also expect to face the risks, uncertainties, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at the start-up stage of their business development. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition.

------

***Damage to our reputation could adversely affect our company's operations and financial condition.***

Our relationship with the communities where we operate is critical to ensure the future success of our existing operations and the construction and development of our I-M Mine Property. Reputational damage can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, and could include any negative publicity, whether true or not. There is an increasing level of public concern relating to the perceived effect of mining activities on the environment and on communities impacted by such activities. Certain individuals and groups who oppose resource development can often be vocal critics of the mining industry and its practices, including the use of hazardous substances in processing activities and effects on the environment. The increased use of social media and other web-based tools used to generate, publish and discuss user-generated content and to connect with other users has made it increasingly easier for such individuals and groups to communicate and share their opinions and views regarding our company and our activities. Adverse publicity generated by such persons related to extractive industries generally, or our operations or development activities specifically, could have an adverse effect on our reputation. Reputation loss, including reputation loss by other similar mining companies, may result in decreased investor confidence, increased challenges in developing and maintaining community and stakeholder relations and an impediment to our overall ability to advance our I-M Mine Property (including our ability to obtain permits), which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and prospects. While we are committed to operating in a socially responsible manner, there is no guarantee that our efforts in this respect will mitigate this potential risk. We do not ultimately have direct control over how we are perceived by others and reputational damage could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

***We rely on information systems that may become subject to security threats.***

We have entered into agreements with third parties for hardware, software, telecommunications and other information technology ("IT") services in connection with our operations. Our operations depend, in part, on how well we and our suppliers protect networks, equipment, IT systems and software against damage from a number of threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, natural disasters, terrorism, fire, power loss, hacking, phishing schemes, computer viruses, vandalism, fraud and theft. Our operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as preemptive interventions and expenditures to mitigate the risks of failures and other IT system disruptions. Any of these and other events could result in information systems failures, delays and increases in capital expenses and which would negatively impact the Company's ability to operate. The failure of any part of our information systems could, depending on the nature and degree of any such failure, adversely impact our reputation and results of operations. Our risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cybersecurity and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect our systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a priority. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities.

------

***Increasing attention to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters may impact our business.***

Increasing attention to ESG matters, including those related to climate change and sustainability, and increasing societal, investor and legislative pressure on companies to address ESG matters may result in increased costs, increased investigations and litigation or threats thereof, negative impacts on our stock price and access to capital markets, and damage to our reputation. Increasing attention to climate change, for example, may result in additional governmental investigations and private litigation, or threats thereof, against our company. In addition, some organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters, including climate change and climate-related risks. Such ratings are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Unfavorable ESG ratings may lead to negative investor sentiment toward our company and to the diversion of investment to other industries, which could have a negative impact on our stock price and our access to and costs of capital. Additionally, evolving expectations on various ESG matters, including biodiversity, waste, and water, may increase costs, require changes in how we operate and lead to negative stakeholder sentiment.

**Risks Related to Mining and Exploration**

***The I-M Mine Property is in the exploration stage. There is no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral reserve on the I-M Mine Property or any other properties we may acquire in commercially exploitable quantities. Unless and until we do so, we cannot earn any revenues from these properties and if we do not do so we will lose all of the funds that we expend on exploration. If we do not establish the existence of any mineral reserve in a commercially exploitable quantity, the exploration component of our business could fail.***

We have not established that any of our mineral properties contain any mineral reserve according to recognized reserve guidelines, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so.

A mineral reserve is defined in subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and the Exchange Act ("Subpart 1300") as an estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of "indicated mineral resources" and "measured mineral resources" (as those terms are defined in Subpart 1300) that, in the opinion of a "qualified person" (as defined in Subpart 1300), can be the basis of an economically viable project. In general, the probability of any individual prospect having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of Subpart 1300 is small, and our mineral properties may not contain any "reserves" and any funds that we spend on exploration could be lost. Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one or more of our properties, there can be no assurance that they can be developed into producing mines and that we can extract those minerals. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk, and few mineral properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade, and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the mineral deposit to infrastructure such as processing facilities, roads, rail, power, and a point for shipping, government regulation, and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral deposit unprofitable.

------

***The nature of mineral exploration and production activities involves a high degree of risk and the possibility of uninsured losses.***

Exploration for and the production of minerals is highly speculative and involves greater risk than many other businesses. Most exploration programs do not result in mineralization that may be of sufficient quantity or quality to be profitably mined. Our operations are, and any future development or mining operations we may conduct will be, subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incidental to exploring for and development of mineral properties, such as, but not limited to:

* economically insufficient mineralized material;

* fluctuation in production costs that make mining uneconomical;

* labor disputes;

* unanticipated variations in grade and other geologic problems;

* environmental hazards;

* water conditions;

* difficult surface or underground conditions;

* industrial accidents;

* metallurgic and other processing problems;

* mechanical and equipment performance problems;

* failure of dams, stockpiles, wastewater transportation systems, or impoundments;

* unusual or unexpected rock formations; and

* personal injury, fire, flooding, cave-ins and landslides.

Any of these risks can materially and adversely affect, among other things, the development of properties, production quantities and rates, costs and expenditures, potential revenues, and production dates. If we were to determine that capitalized costs associated with any of our mineral interests are not likely to be recovered, we would incur a write-down of our investment in these interests. All of these factors may result in losses in relation to amounts spent that are not recoverable, or that result in additional expenses.

***Commodity price volatility could have dramatic effects on the results of operations and our ability to execute our business plan.***

The price of commodities varies daily. Our future revenues, if any, will likely be derived from the extraction and sale of base and precious metals. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global and regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of our business, could negatively affect our ability to secure financing or our results of operations.

***Estimates of mineralized material and resources are subject to evaluation uncertainties that could result in project failure.***

Our exploration and future mining operations, if any, are and would be faced with risks associated with being able to accurately predict the quantity and quality of mineralized material and resources/reserves within the earth using statistical sampling techniques. Estimates of any mineralized material or resource/reserve on any of our properties would be made using samples obtained from appropriately placed trenches, test pits, underground workings, and intelligently designed drilling. There is an inherent variability of assays between check and duplicate samples taken adjacent to each other and between sampling points that cannot be reasonably eliminated. Additionally, there also may be unknown geologic details that have not been identified or correctly appreciated at the current level of accumulated knowledge about our properties. This could result in uncertainties that cannot be reasonably eliminated from the process of estimating mineralized material and resources/reserves. If these estimates were to prove to be unreliable, we could implement an exploitation plan that may not lead to commercially viable operations in the future.

------

***Any material changes in mineral resource/reserve estimates and grades of mineralization will affect the economic viability of placing a property into production and a property's return on capital.***

As we have not completed feasibility studies on our I-M Mine Property and have not commenced actual production, we do not have mineral resources and any estimates may require adjustments or downward revisions. In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined, if any, may differ from that indicated by future feasibility studies and drill results. Minerals recovered in small scale tests might not be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale.

***Our exploration activities on our properties may not be commercially successful, which could lead us to abandon our plans to develop our properties and our investments in exploration.***

Our long-term success depends on our ability to identify mineral deposits on our I-M Mine Property and other properties we may acquire, if any, that we can then develop into commercially viable mining operations. Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks, and is frequently non-productive. These risks include unusual or unexpected geologic formations, and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment, or labor. The success of commodity exploration is determined in part by the following factors:

* the identification of potential mineralization;

* availability of government-granted exploration permits;

* the quality of our management and our geological and technical expertise; and

* the capital available for exploration and development work.

Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable reserves through drilling and analysis, to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal, and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors that include, without limitation, the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade, and proximity to infrastructure; commodity prices; and government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. We may invest significant capital and resources in exploration activities and may find it necessary to abandon such investments if we are unable to identify commercially exploitable mineral reserves. The decision to abandon a project may have an adverse effect on the market value of our securities and the ability to raise future financing.

------

***We are subject to significant governmental regulations that affect our operations and costs of conducting our business and may not be able to obtain all required permits and licenses to place our properties into production.***

We believe that mining operations on the I-M Mine Property are a vested use, protected under the California and federal Constitutions, and that a use permit is not required for mining operations to continue. The Company owns the I-M Mine Property, consisting of 109 acres of surface land and a 2,560 acre mineral estate, located in the County. Before the I-M Mine Property was consolidated into its current configuration in 1941, it existed as multiple historical mines and operations. The Company also has the option of repurchasing the 66 acres of land sold in November 2024 and May 2025, should the Company get all the approvals needed to perform mining operations.

For the vested right to be recognized by the County, the Company needs to demonstrate that mine operations were being conducted both before and immediately after the County first required a permit to mine in 1954. The Petition and its exhibits are replete with historical evidence that mining was conducted at the I-M Mine Property prior to, during, and after 1954, when the County first required a use permit.

Once vested, this right to mine endures unless it is abandoned, which the Company contends has not occurred. Abandonment only occurs if two conditions are met: (1) there is evidence of a property owner's actual intent to abandon the vested mining right; and (2) an overt act (or failure to act) demonstrating such intent. The California Supreme Court has held that a vested mining right is not abandoned merely because the mine has been inactive for periods of time, and the Court has found that cessation of use alone does not constitute abandonment of a mine. The evidence set out in the Petition establishes the various previous owners evidenced their intent to retain the vested right to mine by continuously recording mineral reservations, entering into leases, and making plans for resuming mining in the future, even when mining operations were suspended. There is no evidence that any owner of the I-M Mine Property intended to abandon the vested mining right or took an overt act demonstrating that intent (let alone both). We are subject to the vested rights being confirmed by the County. On September 6, 2023, the Company submitted a Petition to the County asserting its vested right to mine at the I-M Mine Property. The Board of Supervisors held a public hearing regarding the Company's Petition on December 13 and 14, 2023. The Board of Supervisors denied recognition of the Company's assertion of its vested right. There is no assurance that the Courts to which we propose to appeal this determination will recognize the Company's rights.

As previously applied by the Company, under the Use Permit process, the Company's operations, including exploration and, if warranted, development of the I-M Mine Property, require permits from governmental authorities and will be governed by laws and regulations, including:

* laws and regulations governing mineral concession acquisition, prospecting, development, mining, and production;

* laws and regulations related to exports, taxes, and fees;

* labor standards and regulations related to occupational health and mine safety; and

* environmental standards and regulations related to waste disposal, toxic substances, land use reclamation, and environmental protection.

Companies engaged in exploration activities often experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permits. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permits may result in enforcement actions, including the forfeiture of mineral claims or other mineral tenures, orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities requiring operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or costly remedial actions. We cannot predict if all permits that we may require for continued exploration, development, or construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms, if at all. Costs related to applying for and obtaining permits and licenses may be prohibitive and could delay our planned exploration and development activities. We may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of our mineral exploration or our mining activities, if any, and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of, or our failure to comply with, such laws, regulations, and permits.

------

Existing and possible future laws, regulations, and permits governing operations and activities of exploration companies, or more stringent implementation of such laws, regulations and permits, could have a material adverse impact on our business and cause increases in capital expenditures or require abandonment or delays in exploration. Our I-M Mine Property is located in California, which has numerous clearly defined regulations with respect to permitting mines, which could potentially impact the total time to market for the project.

Subsurface mining is allowed in the County M1 Zoning District, where the I-M Mine Property is located, with approval of a "Use Permit". Approval of a Use Permit for mining operations requires a public hearing before the County Planning Commission, whose decision may be appealed to the Board of Supervisors. Use Permit approvals include conditions of approval, which are designed to minimize the impact of conditional uses on neighboring properties.

On November 21, 2019, the Company submitted an application for a Use Permit to the County. On April 28, 2020, with a vote of 5-0, the Board of Supervisors approved the contract for Raney to prepare an EIR and conduct contract planning services on behalf of the County for the proposed Idaho-Maryland Mine Project. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 10 and May 11, 2023 to consider the FEIR. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission recommended to the Board of Supervisors that the FEIR not be certified and that the Use Permit be denied.

On February 20, 2024, the Company announced that the Nevada County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution in a public hearing on February 16, 2024 (the "Hearing"), denying the Company's application for a Use Permit to allow the re-opening of the Idaho Maryland Gold Mine and not certifying the Final Environmental Impact Report.

The Use Permit application proposes underground mining to recommence at the I-M Mine Property at an average throughput of 1,000 tons per day. The existing Brunswick Shaft, which extends to ~3400 feet depth below surface, would be used as the primary rock conveyance from the I-M Mine Property. A second service shaft would be constructed by raising from underground to provide for the conveyance of personnel, materials, and equipment. Processing would be done by gravity and flotation to produce gravity and flotation gold concentrates.

We propose to produce barren rock from underground tunneling and sand tailings as part of the project which would be used for creation of approximately 58 acres of level and useable industrial zoned land for future economic development in the County. A water treatment plant and pond, using conventional processes, would ensure that groundwater pumped from the mine is treated to regulatory standards before being discharged to the local waterways. There is no assurance our Use Permit application will be accepted as submitted. If substantial revisions are required, our ability to execute our business plan will be further delayed.

In 1975, the California Legislature enacted the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act ("SMARA"), which required that all surface mining operations in California have approved reclamation plans and financial assurances. SMARA was adopted to ensure that land used for mining operations in California would be reclaimed post-mining to a useable condition. Pursuant to SMARA, we would be required to obtain approval of a Reclamation Plan from and provide financial assurances to the County for any surface component of the underground mining operation before mining operations could commence. Approval of a Reclamation Plan will require a public hearing before the Planning Commission.

------

To approve a Reclamation Plan and Use Permit, the County would need to satisfy the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). CEQA requires that public agency decision makers study the environmental impacts of any discretionary action, disclose the impacts to the public, and minimize unavoidable impacts to the extent feasible. CEQA is triggered whenever a California governmental agency is asked to approve a "discretionary project". The approval of a Reclamation Plan is a "discretionary project" under CEQA. Other necessary ancillary permits like the California Department of Fish and Wildlife ("CDFW") Streambed Alteration Agreement (if applicable) also triggers CEQA compliance.

In this situation, the lead agency for the purposes of CEQA would be the County. Other public agencies in charge of administering specific legislation will also need to approve aspects of the Project, such as the CDFW (the California Endangered Species Act), the Air Pollution Control District (Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate), and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (authorized to state governments by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) and Report of Waste Discharge). However, CEQA's Guidelines provide that if more than one agency must act on a project, the agency that acts first is generally considered the lead agency under CEQA. All other agencies are considered "responsible agencies." Responsible agencies do need to consider the environmental document approved by the lead agency, but they will usually accept the lead agency's document and use it as the basis for issuing their own permits. There is no assurance that other agencies will not require additional assessments in their decision-making process. If such assessments are required, additional time and costs will delay the execution of, and may even require us to re-evaluate the feasibility of, our business plan.

***Our activities are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs of doing business and restrict our operations.***

All phases of our operations are subject to environmental regulation in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner that may require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors, and employees. These laws address emissions into the air, discharges into water, management of waste, management of hazardous substances, protection of natural resources, antiquities and endangered species, and reclamation of lands disturbed by mining operations. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and future changes in these laws and regulations, may require significant capital outlays and may cause material changes or delays in our operations and future activities. It is possible that future changes in these laws or regulations could have a significant adverse impact on our properties or some portion of our business, causing us to re-evaluate those activities at that time.

***Regulations and pending legislation governing issues involving climate change and our obligation to monitor and report on how our operations may impact climate change could result in increased operating costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.***

A number of governments or governmental bodies have introduced or are contemplating legislative and/or regulatory changes in response to concerns about the potential impact of climate change. Legislation and increased regulation regarding climate change could impose significant costs on us, on our future venture partners, if any, and on our suppliers, including costs related to increased energy requirements, capital equipment, environmental monitoring and reporting, and other costs necessary to comply with such regulations. Many governments and other stakeholders are seeking enhanced disclosure and are moving to enact climate change legislation and treaties at the international, national, state, provincial and local levels. In the United States, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has proposed climate-related disclosure rules: "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors*".* In Canada, the Canadian Securities Administrators have proposed their own climate-related disclosure rules in National Instrument 51-107 - Disclosure of Climate-related Matters. The International Sustainability Standards Board has two proposed international standards for disclosure ("General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability Related Information" and "Climate Related Disclosures") which were developed to provide a global baseline of financial reporting disclosure rules for reporting environmental, social and governance (ESG) related issues. Any adopted future climate change regulations and our obligations to report on them could also negatively impact our ability to compete with companies situated in areas not subject to such limitations. Given the emotional and political significance and uncertainty surrounding the impact of climate change and how it should be dealt with, we cannot predict how legislation and regulation will ultimately affect our financial condition, operating performance, and ability to compete. Furthermore, even without such regulation, increased awareness and any adverse publicity in the global marketplace about potential impacts on climate change by us or other companies in our industry could harm our reputation. The potential physical impacts of climate change on our operations are highly uncertain, could be particular to the geographic circumstances in areas in which we operate and may include changes in rainfall and storm patterns and intensities, water shortages, changing sea levels, and changing temperatures. Extreme weather events, such as forest fires, severe storms, floods, drought or more extreme temperatures, all of which may be more frequent and more extreme due to climate change, may affect our operations. Our operations could be adversely affected in various ways, including through damage to our facilities or from increased costs for insurance. Such extreme weather events can also lead to community evacuations, temporary labour shortages, and delays in receiving critical supplies. Water will be a key resource for our operations and inadequate water management and stewardship could have a material adverse effect on our company and our operations. While certain aspects relating to water management are within our ability to control, extreme weather events, resulting in too much or too little water, can negatively impact our water management practices. The effects of climate change may adversely impact the cost, production, and financial performance of our operations.

------

***Land reclamation requirements for our properties may be burdensome and expensive.***

Although variable depending on location and the governing authority, land reclamation requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies (as well as companies with mining operations) in order to minimize long term effects of land disturbance.

Reclamation may include requirements to:

* control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents;

* treat ground and surface water to drinking water standards; and

* reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance landforms and vegetation.

In order to carry out reclamation obligations imposed on us in connection with our potential development activities, we must allocate financial resources that might otherwise be spent on further exploration and development programs. We plan to set up a provision for our reclamation obligations on our properties, as appropriate, but this provision may not be adequate. If we are required to carry out unanticipated reclamation work, our financial position could be adversely affected.

------

***We face intense competition in the mining industry.***

The mining industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than ours, we may be unable to acquire additional properties, if any, or financing on terms we consider acceptable. We also compete with other mining companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for qualified employees, our exploration and development programs may be slowed down or suspended. We compete with other companies that produce our planned commercial products for capital. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, our exploration and development programs may be jeopardized or we may not be able to acquire, develop, or operate additional mining projects.

***A shortage of equipment and supplies could adversely affect our ability to operate our business.***

We are dependent on various supplies and equipment to carry out our mining exploration and, if warranted, development operations. Any shortage of such supplies, equipment, and parts could have a material adverse effect on our ability to carry out our operations and could therefore limit, or increase the cost of, production.

***Joint ventures and other partnerships, including offtake arrangements, may expose us to risks.***

We may enter into joint ventures, partnership arrangements, or offtake agreements, with other parties in relation to the exploration, development, and production of the properties in which we have an interest. Any failure of such other companies to meet their obligations to us or to third parties, or any disputes with respect to the parties' respective rights and obligations, could have a material adverse effect on us, the development and production at our properties, including the I-M Mine Property, and on future joint ventures, if any, or their properties, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial performance, cash flows and the price of our common stock.

***We may experience difficulty attracting and retaining qualified management to meet the needs of our anticipated growth, and the failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.***

We are dependent on a relatively small number of key employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The loss of any officer could have an adverse effect on us. We have no life insurance on any individual, and we may be unable to hire a suitable replacement for them on favorable terms, should that become necessary.

***Our results of operations could be affected by currency fluctuations.***

Our properties are currently all located in the United States and, while most costs associated with these properties are paid in U.S. dollars, a significant amount of our administrative expenses are payable in Canadian dollars. There can be significant swings in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar. There are no plans at this time to hedge against any exchange rate fluctuations in currencies.

***Title to our properties may be subject to other claims that could affect our property rights and claims.***

There are risks that title to our properties may be challenged or impugned. Our I-M Mine Property is located in California and may be subject to prior unrecorded agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

------

***We may be unable to secure surface access or purchase required surface rights.***

Although we obtain the rights to some or all of the minerals in the ground subject to the mineral tenures that we acquire, or have the right to acquire, in some cases we may not acquire any rights to, or ownership of, the surface to the areas covered by such mineral tenures. In such cases, applicable mining laws usually provide for rights of access to the surface for the purpose of carrying on mining activities; however, the enforcement of such rights through the courts can be costly and time consuming. It is necessary to negotiate surface access or to purchase the surface rights if long-term access is required. There can be no guarantee that, despite having the right at law to carry on mining activities, we will be able to negotiate satisfactory agreements with any such existing landowners/occupiers for such access or purchase of such surface rights, and therefore we may be unable to carry out planned mining activities. In addition, in circumstances where such access is denied, or no agreement can be reached, we may need to rely on the assistance of local officials or the courts in such jurisdiction the outcomes of which cannot be predicted with any certainty. Our inability to secure surface access or purchase required surface rights could materially and adversely affect our timing, cost, or overall ability to develop any mineral deposits we may locate.

***Our properties and operations may be subject to litigation or other claims.***

From time to time our properties or operations may be subject to disputes that may result in litigation or other legal claims. We may be required to take countermeasures or defend against these claims, which will divert resources and management time from operations. The costs of these claims or adverse filings may have a material effect on our business and results of operations.

***We do not currently insure against all the risks and hazards of mineral exploration, development, and mining operations.***

Exploration, development, and mining operations involve various hazards, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, metallurgical and other processing problems, unusual or unexpected rock formations, structural cave-ins or slides, flooding, fires, and periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions. These risks could result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties, facilities, or other property, personal injury, environmental damage, delays in operations, increased cost of operations, monetary losses, and possible legal liability. We may not be able to obtain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums or at all. We may elect not to insure where premium costs are disproportionate to our perception of the relevant risks. The payment of such insurance premiums and of such liabilities would reduce the funds available for exploration and production activities.

**Risks Related to Our Common Stock**

***Our share price may be volatile and as a result you could lose all or part of your investment.***

In addition to volatility associated with equity securities in general, the value of your investment could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our common stock:

* Disappointing results from our exploration efforts;

* Decline in demand for our common stock;

* Downward revisions in securities analysts' estimates or changes in general market conditions;

* Technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies;

* Investor perception of our industry or our prospects; and

* General economic trends.

------

Our share price on the CSE and the OTCQB has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. Stock markets in general have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, and the market prices of securities have been highly volatile. These fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance and may adversely affect the market price of the Shares. As a result, you may be unable to sell any Shares you acquire at a desired price.

***We have never paid dividends on our common stock.***

We have not paid dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. We intend to retain our initial earnings, if any, to finance our operations. Any future dividends on common stock will depend upon our earnings, our then-existing financial requirements, and other factors, and will be at the discretion of the Board.

***Investors' interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share of common stock if we issue additional employee/director/consultant options or if we sell additional common stock and/or warrants to finance our operations.***

In order to further expand our operations and meet our objectives, any additional growth and/or expanded exploration activity will likely need to be financed through sale of and issuance of additional common stock, including, but not limited to, raising funds to explore the I-M Mine Property. Furthermore, to finance any acquisition activity, should that activity be properly approved, and depending on the outcome of our exploration programs, we likely will also need to issue additional common stock to finance future acquisitions, growth, and/or additional exploration programs of any or all of our projects or to acquire additional properties. We will also in the future grant to some or all of our directors, officers, and key employees and/or consultants options to purchase common stock as non-cash incentives. The issuance of any equity securities could, and the issuance of any additional common stock will, cause our existing stockholders to experience dilution of their ownership interests.

If we issue additional common stock or decide to enter into joint ventures with other parties in order to raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors' interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share of common stock depending on the price at which such securities are sold.

***The issuance of additional shares of common stock may negatively impact the trading price of our securities.***

We have issued common stock in the past and will continue to issue common stock to finance our activities in the future. In addition, newly issued or outstanding options, warrants, and broker warrants to purchase common stock may be exercised, resulting in the issuance of additional common stock. Any such issuance of additional common stock would result in dilution to our stockholders, and even the perception that such an issuance may occur could have a negative impact on the trading price of the common stock.

***We are subject to the continued listing criteria of the CSE, and our failure to satisfy these criteria may result in delisting of our common stock from the CSE.***

Our common stock is currently listed for trading on the CSE. In order to maintain the listing on the CSE or any other securities exchange we may trade on, we must maintain certain financial and share distribution targets, including maintaining a minimum number of public shareholders. In addition to objective standards, these exchanges may delist the securities of any issuer if, in the exchange's opinion, our financial condition and/or operating results appear unsatisfactory; if it appears that the extent of public distribution or the aggregate market value of the security has become so reduced as to make continued listing inadvisable; if we sell or dispose of our principal operating assets or cease to be an operating company; if we fail to comply with the listing requirements; or if any other event occurs or any condition exists which, in their opinion, makes continued listing on the exchange inadvisable.

------

If the CSE or any other exchange or market were to delist the common stock, investors may face material adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, a lack of trading market for the common stock, reduced liquidity, decreased analyst coverage, and/or an inability for us to obtain additional financing to fund our operations.

Surface Land Obligations

Fee simple ownership entitles the owner to all rights of a property, which are only restricted by law or private restrictions, such as zone ordinances or covenants. Fee simple owners retain possession of their property permanently, assuming all obligations to the land are met.

The surface land is subject to a tax lien imposed by and payable to the County. The parcels comprising the surface land are currently assessed by the County at a total of approximately US$5.9 million (US$2.8 million for the 109 acres owned by the Company and US$3.1 million for the 66 acres that can be repurchased) and have a combined annual property tax of US$64,089 (US $30,397 for the 109 acres owned by the Company and US$33,692 for the 66 acres that can be repurchased) for the 2026 tax year. The total amount includes County taxes and Agency taxes. The I-M Mine Property remains in good standing with property taxes for the 2025 tax year paid in full. Property taxes for the 2026 tax year are payable on two equal instalments due on November 1, 2025 and February 1, 2026.

The Nevada Irrigation District supplies treated water to the I-M Mine Property. Water to the Brunswick land is delivered from the Loma Rica System, while water to the Idaho land is delivered from the E. George System. A nominal service fee is charged.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, the loans from Eridanus and Myrmikan were registered against the property by a Deed of Trust filed with the Nevada County Recorder. In May 2025, the loans were fully repaid and there are no further interests registered against the title of the surface rights.

Land Designation

The Brunswick land and Mill Site is located approximately 1 to 2 miles southeast of the city limits of the City of Grass Valley in the County. The Idaho land is located on Idaho-Maryland Rd adjacent to the city limits of the City of Grass Valley in the County. The I-M Mine Property in relation to city limits is shown on Figure 3. Due to its proximity, the I-M Mine Property is located within the City of Grass Valley's planning area boundary, with Brunswick and Mill Site land located in the "Long-term Annexation" and Idaho land located in the "Near-term Annexation" Sphere of Influence. Based on the City of Grass Valley 2020 General Plan, the planned land use designation for the Brunswick land remains "M-1" Manufacturing/Industrial, while the planned land use designation for the Idaho land is "BP" Business Park (CoGV-CDD, 2009).

Each of the parcels of Brunswick land and Idaho land are positioned within the County's "M1" Light Industrial Zone. Within the "M1" District, surface access to subsurface mining (e.g., vent and escape shafts) is allowed with a Use Permit (County Code § L-II 3.21.). Mineral exploration, however, is distinct from the definitions of "subsurface mining" and "surface mining." Exploration involves the search for economic minerals through the use of geological surveys, geophysical or geochemical prospecting, bore holes and trial pits, and surface or underground headings, drifts, or tunnels (NCC § L-II 3.22(B)(5).). Exploration diamond drilling on M1-Industrial Land is an allowed use and does not require a discretionary permit provided that no water is discharged offsite and disturbance per site is less than 1 acre and 1,000 yd<sup>3</sup> material (NCC, 2017).

The Idaho-Maryland Mine Project area is private land and no permits or consultations with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) are required.

------

Mineral Rights

The I-M Mine Property consists of mineral rights on 10 parcels, including 55 sub parcels, totaling 2,560 acres (1,036 hectares), of full or partial interest, as detailed in Table 2 and displayed in Figure 4. The mineral rights encompass the past producing I-M Mine Property which includes the Idaho and Brunswick underground gold mines.

The original mineral rights were granted at various times since 1851. Through various patents and agreements since the original grants, there has been a succession of ownership of the mineral rights.

The Quitclaim Deed describes the mineral rights as follows:

*The I-M Mine Property consists of all rights to minerals within, on, and under the land shown upon the Subdivision Map of BET ACRES, No. 85-7, filed in the Office of the County Records, Nevada County, California, on February 24, 1987, in Book 7 of Subdivisions, at Page 75 et seq.*

*The I-M Mine Property consists of all rights to minerals within, on, and under the land located in portions of Sections 23, 24, 25, 26, 35, and 36 in Township 16 North - Range 8 East MDM, Sections 19, 29, 30, and 31 in Township 16 North - Range 9 East MDM, and Section 6 in Township 15 North - Range 9 East MDM and all other mineral rights associated with the Idaho-Maryland Mine.*

*The mineral rights are defined as parcels and sub parcels in a Quitclaim Deed (Document #: 20170001985). All property is described in that Quitclaim Deed by Idaho Maryland Industries Inc. in favor of William Ghidotti and Marian Ghidotti, his wife as tenants in common, dated June 10, 1963. The Quitclaim deed is located at vol. 337, pp. 175-196 in the official records of the County, as recorded on June 12, 1963*.

Mineral rights pertain to all minerals, gas, oil and mineral deposits of every kind and nature beneath the surface of all such real property, together with all necessary and convenient rights to explore for, develop, produce, extract and take the same, subject to the express limitation that the fore-going exception and reservation shall not include any right of entry upon the surface of said land without the consent of the owner of such surface of said land, as excepted in the Quitclaim Deed recorded the 26<sup>th</sup> of January 2017 (Document #: 20170001985). Mineral rights are severed from surface rights at a depth of 200 ft (61 m) below surface, with all mineral rights being contiguous below 200 ft (61 m) of surface.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, the loans from Eridanus and Myrmikan were registered against the property by a Deed of Trust filed with the Nevada County Recorder. In May 2025, the loans were fully repaid and there are no other known interests registered against or obligations required of the mineral rights of the I-M Mine Property.

![form10kx004.jpg](form10kxz004.jpg)

*Property Access*

The I-M Mine Property is situated east of the City of Grass Valley and south of Nevada City, in the western part of the County. State Route 49, State Route 20, and State Route 174 (state highways) connect the Grass Valley area regionally. The Brunswick land and the adjacent Mill Site are situated on the southwestern quadrant of the intersection of the East Bennett Road and Brunswick Road, a road connecting Grass Valley with State Highway 174. Access to the Brunswick land is on East Bennet Road, approximately 2.8 miles east of Grass Valley Center. The Idaho land can be accessed by Idaho Maryland Road or Centennial Drive.

------

*Agreements*

Rise owns a 100% interest in the mineral rights at the I-M Mine Property and there are no known royalties on future gold production. The surface land at the I-M Mine Property comprises approximately 175 acres (71 hectares) (109 acres owned by the Company and 66 acres that can be repurchased by the Company). There are no other known agreements or encumbrances to which the I-M Mine Property is subject.

*Environmental Liabilities*

Environmental studies have been completed on all the surface holdings owned by Rise. The environmental studies were completed prior to Rise purchasing the Idaho land and Brunswick land.

Idaho Land

In 2016, a Draft Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) report on the Idaho Land was prepared for the City of Grass Valley by Geocon Consultants Inc. This report provided conclusions and recommendations to support redevelopment of this site for commercial and industrial use. Geocon noted the metal of greatest concern with respect to potential health risks for future site occupants is arsenic which is present in mine tailings and waste berms located on the site. Geocon noted that the presence of arsenic in mine waste on the site does not currently appear to pose a significant risk to public health or the environment in its current state and that an expedited response action does not appear warranted at this time (Geocon, 2016).

On behalf of Rise Grass Valley, NV5 prepared a Draft Final Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA) report that summarizes the findings of additional investigation and presents the results of risk assessment as required by the California EPA. The Draft Final PEA report was conditionally approved by the California EPA in a letter dated June 11, 2020. NV5 addressed the conditions of approval and issued the Final PEA report on June 12, 2020.

On behalf of Rise Grass Valley, NV5 prepared a Draft Remedial Action Plan (RAP, July 1, 2020)) to outline procedures for excavation, on-site transport and consolidation of mine waste as engineered fill in a 5.6-acre area on the eastern edge of the property. The RAP is based on the findings of the Final PEA and risk assessment (NV5, June 12, 2020). The RAP presents the findings of engineering evaluation, cost analysis and remedial action planning, and includes procedures for remedial implementation, verification sampling and analysis, and reporting. The 5.6-acre mine waste consolidation area will be subject to a land use covenant that restricts future disturbance of the consolidated mine waste. The mine waste consolidation area is to be covered with additional material from future mining operations that will be used to prepare the property for future commercial/industrial uses. The RAP was reviewed by Cal EPA, and approval of the Final RAP is currently in progress.

Brunswick & Mill Site Land

In 2007, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the Round-Hole and New Brunswick Mine Sites was prepared by Engineering/Remediation Resources Group, Inc. ("**ERRG**") for Idaho-Maryland Mining Corporation. The report concluded that there were no current recognized environmental conditions on the I-M Mine Property at the time, although there are suspect environmental concerns regarding spills of hydrocarbons from vandalism at the New Brunswick Shaft, roofing asphalt on the property, debris from illegal dumping on the property boundaries, and the potential for naturally occurring asbestos in serpentinite rocks on the property. ERRG did not complete an analysis to determine if contamination from historic mining and mineral processing was present, although ERRG has recommended further sampling and studies to determine this (ERRG, 2007).

------

In 2006 a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the Mill Site was completed by Geomatrix Consultants Inc. for Sierra Pacific Industries, Inc. Extensive reclamation and environmental work had previously taken place on the Mill Site. There is mine waste rock on the property which has elevated arsenic levels however Geomatrix concluded that this rock is not discharging elevated metals into the local watershed. Ground water samples taken on the site as part of the ESA had residual Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). The evaluation concluded that the residual VOC contamination presents no threat to human health from vapor migration to indoor air. The property has a deed restriction which restricts the use of groundwater for any domestic purpose and the construction of wells for the purpose of extracting water unless expressly permitted by the Regional Water Board (Geomatrix, 2006).

On behalf of Rise Grass Valley, NV5 prepared a Phase I/II ESA (June 16, 2020) presenting the results of additional investigation and addressing historical conditions identified in previous reports. Results indicated that the mine waste fill was generally less than five feet deep except at locations south of the New Brunswick Shaft and in the central-eastern portion of the property. Laboratory test results indicated that arsenic concentrations detected in mine waste samples were relatively low except for the mixed soil and rock fill located at a paved area in the southeastern portion of the property. This soil and rock fill was generally located beneath pavement and was typically less than five feet deep. This mine waste is believed to have originated from offsite rather than from the New Brunswick shaft.

All parcels included in the I-M Mine Property are within the "M1" Light Industrial Zoning District of the County. Mineral exploration is allowed in M1 Districts subject to zoning compliance and building permit issuance, if required. Under a Use Permit process, a Use Permit is only required for mineral exploration if one of the following conditions are triggered, as per NCC § L-II 3.22(D)(2):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Overburden or mineral deposits in excess of 1,000 cubic yards are disturbed, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The operation in any one location exceeds one acre in size, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Dewatering will occur or water will be discharged from the site as a result of the operation.

Additionally, all exploratory operations shall require a reclamation plan and secure adequate financial assurances to ensure site reclamation unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Less than 1,000 cubic yards of overburden are disturbed, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The size of the operation in any one location is one acre or less.

In those instances where a reclamation plan is not required, an erosion control plan as per NCC § L-V 13.14., approved by the County Planning Department, and a grading permit shall be required for those operations in which 50 cubic yards or more of overburden are disturbed as per NCC § L-II 3.22(D)(2) (NCC, 2017).

A building permit, issued by the County, may be required for construction or installation of drilling facilities. A building permit is a ministerial approval. Ministerial approval is a non-discretionary approval.

Surface exploration drilling will be subject to County Noise Regulations. The Noise Element of the County General Plan (2014) establishes maximum allowable exterior noise levels for various land use categories (NC-BOS, 2014).

------

*Subsurface and Surface Mining Permits*

Subsurface mining is allowed in the M1 District with approval of a Use Permit. (NCC § L-II 3.21.) Under a Use Permit process, approval of a Use Permit for mining operations requires a noticed public hearing before the Planning Commission, which decision may be appealed to the Board of Supervisors. (NCC § L-II 5.6.) Use Permit approvals include conditions of approval, which are designed to minimize the impact of conditional uses on neighboring properties.

Subsurface mining, including ancillary surface uses, would require the following permits and approvals under a Use Permit process:

**County Approvals**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Use Permit for surface and subsurface mining activities

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Reclamation Plan for surface disturbance

**History**

The I-M Mine Property located in the Grass Valley mining district of northern California was one of the most productive and best-known gold mines in the Unites States, with gold production from the I-M Mine Property dating back to 1863.

The I-M Mine Property, as it now exists, represents a consolidation of a number of important early day producing mines including Eureka, Idaho, Maryland, Brunswick, and Union Hill Mines. Based on historic production records, the I-M Mine Property produced a total of 2.4 Moz of gold at an average mill head grade of approximately 0.5 oz/ton (17.1 gpt). The I-M Mine Property was reportedly the second largest gold mine in the United States in 1941 (Clark, 2005), producing up to 129,000 oz gold per year before being forced to shut down by the U.S. government in 1942 (Shore, 1943). Due to lack of development, a decline in gold production was experienced and recovery from war-time shutdown never occurred.

*Historic Exploration & Mine Development*

The I-M Mine Property has a rich history of mining work completed between 1863 and 1956 by various operators. Extensive exploration and underground mine development were completed during that time on the I-M Mine Property. The I-M Mine Property and its comprehensive collection of original documents was rediscovered in 1990 by Consolidated Del Norte Ventures Inc., the predecessor company of Emgold Mining Corporation ("**Emgold**"), and efforts were made to reopen the historic mine.

Exploration & Mine Development 1851-1956

Exploration by historic operators from 1851 through to 1956 was mainly completed by lateral exploration (drift development) and raise or winze development. Levels were driven along the strike of the veins to determine their extent. Raises were developed upwards following the inclination of the vein and winzes were sunk down along the dip of the vein. Chip samples were assayed for mineralization of the quartz vein. In 1923, the first prospect drill was purchased. Following that, exploration holes were completed ahead of mine development to confirm vein locations and to locate vein extensions.

The I-M Mine Property encompasses a system of underground tunnels, many raises, numerous winzes, four inclined shafts, and two vertical shafts. An estimated equivalent of 72.8 miles (117 km) of underground tunnel occur at the I-M Mine Property, assuming typical drift dimensions of 7.5 ft x 8.5 ft (W x H).

Based on available historic records, 883 exploratory holes totaling approximately 234,100 ft (71,354 m) were diamond drilled at a diameter of 7/8" (EX-size). Historic drill logs were not available for review and no historic drill core was preserved from past mining operations at the I-M Mine Property.

Exploration & Mine Development 2003-2004

Emgold and its former entities leased the I-M Mine Property from 1990 to 2013. Development work during this period included completion of a preliminary investigation of the mine records, publishing various technical reports on the I-M Mine Property, leasing or purchasing adjacent properties, various permit applications and associated environmental studies, development of a ceramics technology process, and completion of an exploration program. Emgold was unsuccessful in reopening the historic mine due to inability to raise necessary funding in the midst of unfavourable market conditions.

Emgold completed an exploration program on the I-M Mine Property in 2003 and 2004. Gold exploration consisted of 31 diamond drill holes totaling 21,335 ft (6,502 m) and 7 drill holes totaling 3,537 ft (1,078 m) were completed for geotechnical and ceramics feedstock work.

------

The surface exploration drill program focused on the westernmost portion of what Emgold termed the Idaho Deformation Corridor, along the Idaho Fault Zone. Exploration drilling was mainly conducted from two sites: 1) west of the Eureka shaft and 2) west of the Idaho shaft, both targeting near surface mineralization around historic workings.

The Emgold diamond drill hole database was acquired by Rise in the purchase of the I-M Mine Property. As per the purchase agreement with the BET Group, ownership transfer of the I-M Mine Property included all historical documents to which the BET Group held rights, inclusive of Emgold data.

*Production History*

Rise has completed a compilation of the mine production data of the I-M Mine Property during historic operation from 1866 through 1955, the final year of production from the mine. Rise estimates that the I-M Mine Property produced a total of 2,414,000 oz of gold from 5,298,000 tons of mill feed and that the life of mine average mill head-grade averaged approximately 0.50 oz/ton (17.1 gpt). Total production for the I-M Mine is detailed in Table 3.

\*Details regarding data verification are presented under the heading "Data Verification" below.

In 1926, Errol MacBoyle took over management of the I-M Mine and, as President and General Manager, led the mine into its most successful period of production. A graph of production from the Idaho and Brunswick Mines from 1926 to 1955 is displayed in Figure 5. The historic mine workings of the I-M Mine are displayed in Figure 6.

Mill Head Grade

The mill head grade is the grade of the mineralized material which is fed into the processing plant to be concentrated into gold bullion. The mill head grade includes mining dilution from un-mineralized rock adjacent to the veins. The mill head grade does not account for metallurgical recovery of gold during the processing of the mineralized material.

Data Verification

Detailed production information from the internal records of the I-M Mine property is available for the period from 1926 through 1955. Whenever possible, mill reports were reconciled against financial statements and submissions by Rise to the U.S. Bureau of Mines. Where reconciliation between documents was possible, only minor variations in production reporting were noted. The entire library of documents is no longer fully complete but there is sufficient material to make an accurate estimate of historic production during this period. The following materials were used to prepare an estimate during the period from 1926-1955:

* Idaho Maryland Mines Co. Financial Statements (1926-1932, 1934-1942)

* Idaho Maryland Mines Co. Mill Reports (1933-1942, 1946-1950)

* Idaho Maryland Mines Co. Final Distributions Sheets (1944, 1945)

* Idaho Maryland Mines Co. Breakdown of Income and Expenses (1946-1949)

* Idaho Maryland Mines Co. Cost Data & Cost Sheets from (1946-1949)

* Idaho Maryland Mines Corp. Lode Mine Production Report to U.S. Bureau of Mines (1944-1945, 1947-1948, 1950, 1952, 1953, 1955)

For the period prior to 1926 there are no internal corporate records regarding historic production. The following documents were used to prepare an estimate during the period from 1866-1925:

* Lindgren, Waldemar. The Gold Quartz Veins of Nevada City and Grass Valley Districts, California (1896)

* Hamilton, Fletcher. Mines and Mineral Resources of Nevada County (1918)

* Clark, Jack. Gold in Quartz: The Legendary Idaho Maryland Mine (2005)

Detailed records of metallurgical recoveries from the I-M Mine prior to 1924 are also not available. From 1924-1930 gold recoveries ranged from 72% to 89% using a similar process to that used in the years prior to 1924. Lindgren (1896) estimated that gold mills in the Grass Valley mines averaged 75% metallurgical gold recovery but noted that the I-M Mine was unique in that it treated the tailings from its concentrates by secondary processes. Rise has assumed a metallurgical recovery of 85% for the pre-1924 processing at the I-M Mine which it believes is the best estimate possible given the information available.

**Geological Setting, Mineralization and Deposit Types**

*Geology*

The I-M Mine Property is located in the Grass Valley area of the Western Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California. This belt of rocks consists of late Paleozoic marine sedimentary and ophiolitic rocks, and early and late Mesozoic submarine volcanic-arc and basinal terranes.

------

The Jura-Triassic arc belt has yielded the majority of gold production in the Western Sierra Nevada Foothills. Gold deposits in Jura-Triassic arc belt are associated with second, third, and fourth-order faults related to the regionally significant Wolf Creek/Bear Mountain and Melones faults.

The Grass Valley area is dominated by blocks of variably metamorphosed volcanic, mafic plutonic, and minor sedimentary rocks hosted in a serpentinite matrix. The whole package of rocks exhibits a region foliation and is interpreted as a serpentinite-matrix tectonic mélange. These rocks were variably metamorphosed from lower greenschist to amphibolite facies during and after accretion to the continental margin. Two distinct gold vein groups exist within the Grass Valley district: steeply dipping E-W-trending veins in the northern and generally N-S trending veins with gentler dips averaging 35° in the southern part of the district. The most important E-W veins are associated with the I-M Mine Property. Both vein sets have extraordinary vertical and lateral persistence; individual veins extend for kilometers.

*Mineralization* 

All of the significant gold production from the I-M Mine was localized within and around the Brunswick Block, which consists of variably metamorphosed volcanic and intrusive, and minor sedimentary rocks. The Brunswick Block is surrounded to the west, north, and east by gabbro and serpentinite rocks. Overlying Tertiary volcanic rocks mask rock units along the southern boundary of the Brunswick Block. The contacts between the Brunswick Block and surrounding gabbro and serpentinite are dominated by the 6-3, the Idaho, and the Morehouse Fault domains. Mineralization is closely associated with these significant second or third order structures close to the contact between the Brunswick block and serpentinite contact. Gold in the quartz veins occurs as native gold, ranging from very fine grains to large nuggets within the quartz. Sulfide minerals, primarily pyrite with lesser galena, chalcopyrite, from 1% to 4% are commonly associated with gold mineralization. Scheelite is common in the Union Hill area near the Brunswick mine. Gangue minerals include quartz, carbonate, sericite, chlorite, mariposite, and albite. Ankerite is a common alteration mineral and may occur in the mafic and ultra-mafic rocks and the meta-volcanic rocks. The mineralized wall rock is strongly carbonate altered.

Gold mineralization on the I-M Mine Property can be divided into three significant vein systems: the Idaho, the Brunswick, and the Morehouse systems.

Idaho System

The #1 Vein, #2 Vein, and 3 Vein System comprise the Idaho Vein System.

The Eureka discovery showing outcropped at the western end of the #1 Vein system but had only minor gold concentration and could not be traced on surface east or west. High grade mineralization plunging to the southeast was intersected starting at approximately 100 ft (30 m) below surface at this showing. Follow-up exploration and mining led to the development of the prolific Eureka-Idaho ore shoot which plunges at approximately 30° to the southeast and has a pitch length of almost 1 mile (1.6 km) and a breadth of 500 ft to 1,000 ft (152 m to 305 m). The width of the vein within the ore shoot averaged approximately 3 ft (~1 m) and in places ranged up to 8 ft (~2.4 m). The average insitu grade of the #1 Vein would likely have been slightly higher than the estimated mill head grade of 1.12 oz/ton (39 gpt). The trend of the shoot is approximately parallel to an expected trend of the intersection of the Idaho and Morehouse faults suggesting the interaction of the Idaho and Morehouse faults may have played a role on the formation of the rich mineralization encountered in the Eureka-Idaho stope. Alternatively, the shape of the Brunswick Block may have influenced this trend.

The Idaho #1 Vein occurs coincident with a diabase dike hosted in ankerite, in close proximity to the serpentinite-Brunswick Block contact. Just west of the Idaho shaft, at the western end of the Idaho #1 Vein, the diabase dike bends in an arc to the south mimicking a fold around the nose of the Brunswick Block. The Eureka-Idaho ore shoot pinches out at the I1500 Level but significant gold grades coincident with a diabase dike hosted in serpentinite in close proximity to the serpentinite-Brunswick contact were exposed in workings on the I2400 Level suggesting the vein may open up again or a second vein is present. To the east, the Eureka-Idaho ore shoot pinches out near the #2 Vein. All rocks are highly altered and contain much ankerite. The cross section in Figure 7 shows the general form and relationship of the #1 Vein with the serpentinite and diabase dike.

------

**Figure 7: #1 Vein Cross Section, Section looking East (Lindgren, 1896)**

![form10kx007.jpg](form10kxz007.jpg)

The #2 Vein is a disrupted zone of quartz veins trending northeast and dipping steeply to the southeast. This vein system is hosted in the serpentinite approximately coincident with where the serpentinite-Brunswick Block contact bends abruptly to the north before turning east again. #2 Vein trends northeast into the 3 Vein System.

The 3 Vein System, like the #1 Vein system, hosts a prolific ore shoot. The 3 Vein System comprises an Idaho fault split into four main branches. Connecting diagonal structures between the four fault branches were also mineralized. As with the #1 Vein, gold mineralization is associated with a diabase dike sub parallel to the serpentine-Brunswick Block contact. The main 3 Vein was mined continuously over a vertical distance of approximately 1,500 ft (457 m) and an average horizontal strike length of approximately 700 ft (213 m). There were several important veins which splayed from the main 3 Vein, forming the larger 3 Vein System. The most important of which were named the 5 Vein, 13 Vein, and 22 Vein. Minor splays from the main 3 Vein included 19 Vein, 4 Vein, and 6 Vein. The 3 Vein ranged in dip from 45° to 70°, with an average dip of approximately 55°. An average vein width of approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) was typical but in places reached widths of over 20 ft (6 m).

In the 3 Vein System, the best mineralization was typically found in quartz veins where the Idaho structures intersected areas where diabase dikes or Brunswick Block rocks are in contact with the serpentinite unit. Veins hosted solely in serpentinite were rarely of economic importance due to the ductile nature of the serpentinite which typically does not allow wide or continuous open structures to form from faulting. The 23 Vein is an exception. Also known as the Rose Garden, it was intersected by exploration drifting 2,000 ft (610 m) east of the main 3 Vein System on I2000 Level. The mine operator was following the Idaho #5 Vein towards the 6-3 Fault and located the 23 Vein by diamond drilling. The 23 Vein dips to the northwest as opposed to the southwest and is hosted entirely in ankerite/serpentinite. It is quite narrow but was noted to contain abundant visible gold. The 23 Vein was followed along strike to the southeast directly to its intersection with the 6-3 Fault.

Brunswick System

The Brunswick vein system constitutes a distinct vein system within meta-volcanic rocks of the Brunswick Block. The veins strike northwesterly and have a southwesterly dip. These parallel, vertically dipping mineralized veins were mined above 1600L along continuous strike lengths ranging from 430 ft (131 m) to 1,000 ft (305 m) with continuous vertical heights reaching up to 1,000 ft (305 m). These veins generally range from several inches up to 8 ft (2.4 m) in width. A few veins with opposite strike and dip occur. The veins are most numerous and have the highest grades near the 6-3 Fault. The veins nearest to the fault turn to the north on the footwall side, suggesting a northward component of movement of the hanging wall. A quartz-carbonate stockwork develops near the fault. The quartz stringers dip from the veins toward the fault and many have connecting diagonals extending from an upper to a lower stringer toward the fault. The Brunswick veins generally pinch out before rarely coming in contact with the fault footwall. No significant mineralization is present in the fault. Only a few unimportant veins are known beyond its hanging wall.

------

In the area of the Brunswick veins there are layers of meta-sedimentary rocks within the meta-volcanic rocks that exhibit the regional N-W schistosity dipping very steeply to the north. Where the Brunswick veins cross these meta-sedimentary rocks vein splitting and en-echelon crossings occur forming what is known in the historical records as "Zebra Rock." The "Zebra Rock" produced "fair" to "good" grades of large tonnage and the presence of free gold was reported. A large "Zebra Rock" zone was intersected and mined along the western extents of 16 Vein from levels 1300L to 1000L. Mining in this zone occurred over strike lengths from 360 ft to 525 ft (110 m to 160 m) and reached widths of up to 110 ft (34 m) on 1100 level.

Morehouse System

The Morehouse vein system is not as well understood as the Idaho #1, #2, 3 Vein System, and Brunswick vein systems. It is defined by fault and quartz-vein and quartz stockwork intersections in workings and drill holes in only a few areas such as the Morehouse, 16 Vein, 52 Vein, and 60 Winze. There is little historic production from the Morehouse Vein system.

The Morehouse vein is associated with the serpentinite-hosted diabase dike wrapping around the western end of the Brunswick Block. Underground working show the Morehouse connects directly to the Idaho #1 Vein. The extension of the Idaho shaft in 1923 to I1500 Level intersected the Morehouse splay and the shaft station on I1500 Level is right above the #1 Vein.

The best Morehouse mineralization intersected to date, and the only significant production, occurs within the Brunswick Block at the 52 Vein and 60 Winze areas. There is very little other exploration of this vein in the Brunswick Block.

*Mineral Deposit Type*

The Idaho System deposits on the I-M Mine Property can be described as an orogenic gold deposit. Orogenic gold deposits encompass a broad range of depth of formation and different host lithologies; however, common to orogenic gold deposits is a spatial association with compressional to transpressional deformation processes at convergent plate margins in accretionary and collisional orogens. Most ores are post-orogenic with respect to tectonism of their immediate host rocks but are simultaneously syn-orogenic with respect to ongoing deep-crustal, subduction-related thermal gradient. Depth of formation of orogenic deposits are best subdivided into epizonal (<6 km / <3.7 mi), mesozonal (6-12 km / 3.7-7.5 mi), and hypozonal (>12 km / >7.5 mi).

The gold deposits on the I-M Mine Property have been classified as Mesothermal Quartz Veins (Lindgren, 1894), are also known as and are type-examples of low-sulfide Au-quartz vein deposits (Berger, 1986), and gold quartz vein deposits (Ash, 2001). These classifications are sub-groups of orogenic gold deposit type.

**Exploration**

Rise has completed an exploration drilling program on the I-M Mine Property in June of 2019. Rise has completed seventeen drill holes, B-17-01, B-18-02 thru B-18-07, Z-18-08 & Z-18-09, I-18-10-I-18-12, I-19-13, I-1913A, I-19-12A, I-19-12B, I-19-14, & I-19-14A. Total drilling completed to July 31, 2019 by Rise Gold is ~20,584 meters. Assay results for all drill holes have been released as of July 31, 2019.

Rise has prepared a drill hole database derived from information contained in the collection of historic documents and records acquired through the purchase of the I-M Mine Property. The drill hole database is divided into I-M Mine drilling completed before the mine shut down in 1956 and Emgold drilling completed in 2004.

**Sampling, Analysis and Data Verification**

*Sample Preparation and Analysis*

Rise Gold has implemented a quality control program for our drill program to ensure best practices in the sampling and analysis of the drill core. This includes the insertion of blind blanks, duplicates, and certified standards. HQ- and NQ-sized drill core is saw cut with half of the drill core sampled at intervals based on geological criteria including lithology, visual mineralization, and alteration. The remaining half of the core is stored on-site at our warehouse in Grass Valley, California. Drill core samples are transported in sealed bags to ALS Minerals analytical assay lab in Reno, Nevada.

All gold assays were obtained using a method of screen fire assaying. The historic I-M Mine project is known to contain 'coarse' gold, for which a screen fire assay is the best way to obtain a definitive result. This procedure involves screening a large, pulverized sample of up to 1 kg at 100 microns. The entire oversize (including the disposable screen) is fire assayed as this contains the 'coarse' gold and a duplicate determination is made on the 'minus' 100-micron fraction. A calculation can then be made to determine the total weight of gold in the sample. Any +100-micron material remaining on the screen is retained and analyzed in its entirety by fire assay with gravimetric finish and reported as the Au (+) fraction result. The -100-micron fraction is homogenized and two sub-samples of 50 grams are analyzed by fire assay with AAS finish. If the grade of the material exceeds 10 gpt the sample is re-assayed using a gravimetric finish. The average of the two results is taken and reported as the Au (-) fraction result. All three values are used in calculating the combined gold content of the plus and minus fractions.

------

There is no detailed information describing sample preparation, analysis and security procedures applied by mine operators prior to 2002. The historical samples were reportedly fire-assayed at former mine site laboratories. No records exist of any QA/QC program.

Emgold sample preparation, analysis and security procedures for core collected by Emgold are described in a 2009 Technical Report prepared by Robert Pease, P.G., for Emgold titled "Idaho-Maryland Mine Project, Grass Valley CA". Three-foot core samples were cut in half by a wet saw. The half core samples were put in a sample bag, tagged, and shipped to a laboratory. All samples were crushed to 80% passing -10 mesh, rotary split to a 500 g subsample which was pulverized to 95% passing -150 mesh. All samples were analyzed using screened metallics fire assay methods. The QAQC program used Standard Reference Materials, blank samples, coarse reject and pulp duplicate samples, and third-party laboratory check assays. Insertion rate of SRMs and duplicates was approximately 1 in 20 samples. Blanks were only inserted immediately following mineralized intervals. The control samples were reportedly used to successfully control the assay quality process.

*Historical Data Verification*

Although Rise has carefully digitized and checked the locations and values of drill hole results from level plans and other documents, the absence of drill hole related documentation, such as drill logs, drill hole deviation, core recovery and density measurements, assay certificates, and possible channel sample grade biases, could materially impact the accuracy and reliability of the reported results.

**Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing**

Rise has conducted mineral processing and metallurgical testing analyses on recent drill core from the I-M Mine Property for the purpose of environmental study in conjunction with permitting efforts.

A significant amount of production has occurred on the I-M Mine Property which confirms that gold can be recovered, mainly by gravity and flotation methods. Nearly all gold at the I-M Mine Property is free milling, as demonstrated by cyanide leaching of concentrates and tailings by the I-M Mine during past production.

**Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates**

No estimates of mineral resources have been prepared for the I-M Mine Property. We are not treating historical mineral resource estimates as current mineral resource estimates. In addition, there are no mineral reserves estimates for the I-M Mine Project.

For the notes referenced above, please see our audited financial statements and the notes for the years ended July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, included below under Item 8.

Our operating expenses decreased during the year ended July 31, 2025 compared to the prior year primarily as a result of decreased activities by our Company. These activities include consulting, filing and regulatory, general and administrative, professional fees, driven by the need for expenses related to Vested Rights and Use Permit application and hearings while lowering consulting costs relating to planning and researching our mineral properties, along with activities relating to raising funds in the recent private placements.

As a result of the ongoing activities, significant expenses during the year ended July 31, 2025 include:

* Decrease in mineral exploration costs to $96,520 (2024 - $808,832) related to activities surrounding the Vested Rights and Use Permit application and hearings;

* Increase in share-based payments to $697,122 (2024 - $345,507) for the grant of options pursuant to our stock option plan to incentivize management and certain consultants;

* Decrease in consulting and professional fees to $221,925 and $549,923 respectively (2024 - $310,718 and $1,000,394, respectively) as the Company incurred fewer advisory fees in 2025 compared to 2024 when the Company reviewed its litigation options relating to its Vested Rights;

* Significant non-operating items include write down of the value of the drilling equipment (loss of $411,530; 2024 - $Nil); note receivable sold at a discount to generate cash (loss of $155,727; 2024 - $Nil); accounting loss recognized with the repayment of the loans in May 2025 on the value of the warrants recorded as loan issuance costs (loss of $312,939; 2024 - $Nil).

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

As of July 31, 2025, the Company had $2,783,348 in cash, $2,980,679 in current assets, $4,442,507 in total assets, $1,050,421 in current liabilities and $1,179,422 in total liabilities, working capital surplus of $1,930,258 and an accumulated deficit of $33,494,975.

During the year ended July 31, 2025, the Company used $1,169,386 in net cash on operating activities, compared to $2,213,199 in net cash on operating activities during the prior year. The higher amount of net cash used in operating activities during the prior year was due mainly to higher professional fees and associated costs related to the Use Permit and Vested Rights petition.

During the year ended July 31, 2025, received net cash of $2,612,699 (2024 - $Nil) from investing activities of the Company (i.e. sale of parcels of land).

During the year ended July 31, 2025, the Company received cash of $2,990,936 (2024 - $1,898,596) from financing activities related to the private placements. Proceeds received from loans during the year ended July 31, 2025 were $500,000 (2024 - $Nil). The cash paid by the Company to settle the outstanding loans during the year ended July 31, 2025 was $2,394,570 (2024 - $200,000). Net cash flow received from financing activities was $1,096,366 during the year ended July 31, 2025 (2024 - $1,698,596).

The Company expects to operate at a loss for at least the next 12 months. On October 24, 2025, the Company raised $7,000,000 through issuance of securities. Based on working capital at year end, and subsequent equity financing of $7,000,000, management estimates that it does have sufficient funds to continue as a going concern. It has no agreements for additional financing and cannot provide any assurance that additional funding will be available to finance its operations on acceptable terms in order to enable it to carry out its business plan long term. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to complete further sales of its common stock or any other form of additional financing.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Shareholders and Directors of

Rise Gold Corp.

***Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rise Gold Corp. (the "Company"), as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2025, and 2024, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rise Gold Corp. as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2025, and 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

***Basis for Opinion***

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

***Critical Audit Matters***

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2013.

**RISE GOLD CORP.** <br>(An Exploration Stage Company)<br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br>FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2025<br>(Expressed in United States Dollars)

**1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS**

Rise Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "Rise") was originally incorporated as Atlantic Resources Inc. in the State of Nevada on February 9, 2007 and is in the exploration stage. On April 11, 2012, the Company merged its wholly-owned subsidiary, Patriot Minefinders Inc., a Nevada corporation, in and to the Company to effect a name change to Patriot Minefinders Inc. On January 14, 2015, the Company completed a name change to Rise Resources Inc. in the same manner. On March 29, 2017, the Company changed its name to Rise Gold Corp. These mergers were carried out solely for the purpose of effecting these changes of names.

On September 18, 2020, the Company increased its authorized capital from 40,000,000 shares to 400,000,000 shares.

On January 29, 2016, the Company completed an initial public offering in Canada and began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") on February 1, 2016.

The Company is in the early stages of exploration and as is common with any exploration company, it raises financing for its acquisition activities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a loss of $3,260,358 for the year ended July 31, 2025 and has accumulated a deficit of $33,494,975. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to maintain continued support from its shareholders and creditors and to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. Based on working capital at year end, and subsequent equity financing of $7,000,000, management estimates that it does have sufficient funds to continue operations for the ensuing 12 months from the date of these financial statements.

At July 31, 2025, the Company had working capital surplus of $1,930,258 (2024 - working capital deficit of $1,766,960).

**2. BASIS OF PREPARATION**

**Generally accepted accounting principles**

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-K and Regulation S-K.

------

**RISE GOLD CORP.**<br>(An Exploration Stage Company)<br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br>FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2025<br>(Expressed in United States Dollars)

**2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)**

**Basis of Consolidation**

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rise Grass Valley Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

*Subsidiaries*

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to use power over the investee to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which control ceases.

The accounts of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the carrying value and recoverability of mineral properties and the recognition of deferred tax assets based on the change in unrecognized deductible temporary tax differences. Actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.

**Functional and reporting currency**

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rise Grass Valley Inc. functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company are initially translated into the functional currency by applying the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the statement of financial position. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, unless the item is carried at fair value, in which case it will be translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date when the fair value was determined. Resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in income or loss.

**RISE GOLD CORP.**<br>(An Exploration Stage Company)<br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br>FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2025<br>(Expressed in United States Dollars)

**3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Derivative liability**

Derivatives are initially recognized at the fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and transaction costs are expensed. The Company's derivatives are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. As the exercise price of the Company's warrants are in Canadian Dollars, and the functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar, these warrants are considered a derivative as a variable amount of cash in the Company's functional currency will be received upon exercise.

**Receivables** **and note receivable**

The Company reviews all receivables that exceed terms and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on management's assessment of the collectability of trade and other receivables. Note receivable is valued at market rate of interest.

**Mineral property**

The costs of acquiring mineral rights are capitalized at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs. If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral property is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value. Exploration costs incurred on mineral properties are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized. Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses). When the Company receives an option payment related to a property, the proceeds of the payment are applied to reduce the carrying value of the exploration asset.

**Long-lived assets**

Long-lived assets, consisting of equipment held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

**Equipment**

Equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets' useful lives on a straight-line basis. Equipment purchased by the Company is depreciated over 15 years.

**Asset retirement obligations**

The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is amortized over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the passage of time (accretion expense) and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation (asset retirement cost).

**3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**

**Loss per share**

Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. To calculate diluted loss per share, the Company adjusts net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares such as stock options and warrants. As at July 31, 2025, 8,740,371 outstanding options and 31,679,931 outstanding warrants were excluded from the diluted calculation. In reporting periods when a loss is incurred, potential issuance of shares would be anti-dilutive and, therefore, basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

**Financial instruments**

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, note receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, credit facility, loan payable and payable to related parties. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values unless otherwise noted.

**Fair value of financial assets and liabilities**

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on U.S. GAAP guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor's carrying amount or exchange amount.

Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.

The following indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilizes to determine the fair value of financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Cash and cash equivalents is considered level 1 and classified as cash on hand and held at banks. The derivative liability is recognized at fair value using level 2 inputs as the fair value of derivatives was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing formula .

**RISE GOLD CORP.**<br>(An Exploration Stage Company)<br>NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br>FOR THE YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2025<br>(Expressed in United States Dollars)

**3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**

**Fair value of financial assets and liabilities** **(continued)**

Financial instruments, including payable to related parties and accounts payable are classified as other financial liabilities and are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Credit facility and loan payable are considered to approximate fair value as they are subject to a market rate of interest.

**Concentration of credit risk**

The financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.

**Stock-based compensation**

The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the provisions of ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation". Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or liabilities incurred, whichever is more reliably measured. Share-based compensation for all stock-based awards to employees and directors is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Black-Scholes option valuation model is used to calculate fair value.

**Receivables and note receivable**

Receivables are initially measured at its fair value or transaction price, and subsequently measured at amortized cost. Note receivables are valued at market rate of interest. For notes receivable with cash flows of principal and interest, they are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the initial amount minus principal payments, plus the amortization of any discount or premium, using the effective interest method.

**Income taxes**

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss from the current year and any adjustment to income taxes payable related to previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or subsequently enacted by the year-end date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the asset and liability method the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be recognized.

**3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**

**Recently adopted and recently issued accounting standards**

The following amendments to existing standards have been issued up to and including the date of issuance of these financial statements, however are not yet effective for the Company:

* Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

* Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Income statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense. The amendments in this update requires public business entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements. Public business entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively and may elect to apply it retrospectively. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027.

The Company is still evaluating the impact of implementing the above improvements to its consolidated financial statements.

**4. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS**

As at July 31, 2025, the balance of cash and cash equivalents is $2,783,348 (July 31, 2024: $243,669) of which $Nil (July 31, 2024: $Nil) is cash equivalents related to Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) held during the year.

**Title to mineral properties**

Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain mineral titles as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveying history characteristic of many mineral properties. As at July 31, 2025, the Company holds title to the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine Property.

As of July 31, 2025, the management does not consider that there are events or changes in circumstances to indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and has incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.

On August 30, 2016, the Company entered into an option agreement with three parties to purchase a 100% interest in and to the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine property located near Grass Valley, California, United States. Pursuant to the option agreement, in order to exercise the option, the Company was required to pay $2,000,000 by November 30, 2016. Upon execution of the option agreement, the Company paid the vendors a non-refundable cash deposit in the amount of $25,000, which would be credited against the purchase price of $2,000,000 upon exercise of the option. On November 30, 2016, the Company negotiated an extension on the closing date of the option agreement to December 26, 2016, in return for a cash payment of $25,000, which would be credited against the purchase price of $2,000,000 upon exercise of the option. On December 28, 2016, the Company negotiated a further no-cost extension of the closing date of the option agreement to April 30, 2017. On January 25, 2017, the Company exercised the option by paying $1,950,000 and acquired a 100% interest in the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine property.

In connection with the option agreement, the Company agreed to pay a cash commission of $140,000 equal to 7% of the purchase price of $2,000,000. The commission was settled on January 25, 2017 through the issuance of 92,000 units valued at $1.16 (C$2.00) per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one transferable share purchase warrant exercisable into one share of common stock at a price of $3.04 (C$4.00) for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The Company also incurred additional transaction costs of $109,053, which have been included in the carrying value of the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine.

On January 6, 2017, the Company entered into an option agreement with Sierra Pacific Industries Inc. ("Sierra") to purchase a 100% interest in and to certain surface rights located near Grass Valley, California, United States, contiguous to the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine property acquired by the Company on January 25, 2017. Pursuant to the option agreement, in order to exercise the option, the Company was required to pay $1,900,000 by March 31, 2017. Upon execution of the option agreement, the Company paid the vendors a non-refundable cash deposit in the amount of $100,000, which was credited against the purchase price of $1,900,000 upon exercise of the option. On April 3, 2017, the Company negotiated an extension of the closing date of the option agreement to June 30, 2017, in return for a cash payment of $200,000, at which time a payment of $1,600,000 was due in order to exercise the option. On June 7, 2017, the Company negotiated an extension of the closing date of the option agreement to September 30, 2017, in return for a cash payment of $300,000, at which time a payment of $1,300,000 was due in order to exercise the option.

On May 14, 2018, the Company completed the purchase of the surface rights by making final payments totalling $1,300,000.

**Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine Property, California**

The sale transaction is subject to two sale agreements with the same, arm's length third party. The first agreement covers 16 acres of land for total consideration of $1,800,000 and that contract closed on November 27, 2024 with the payment of half the sale price, minus certain deductions. The Company paid $816,941 of the proceeds towards the Eridanus loan. The other half of the purchase price ($900,000) is due on November 27, 2026. The buyer will pay monthly interest at an annual rate of 5% per year on the balance of the purchase price until it is paid in full. The $900,000 note receivable, which was secured by surface rights, had a fair value of $851,852 on November 27, 2024, calculated based on an estimated 8% market interest rate. On January 14, 2025, the Company and the buyer negotiated a discounted, accelerated payment whereby the Company received $702,000 in settlement of the second $900,000 payment due in November 2026. The carrying value of the note receivable on settlement date was $857,727, resulting in a loss on settlement of $155,727.

The second sale agreement covers 50 acres of land for total sale price of $2,500,000 and closed on May 27, 2025, at which point half of the sale price was paid, with the other half due on May 27, 2027. The buyer paid $12,500 per month until closing, with the payments applied against the purchase price. Commencing on the closing date, the buyer will pay monthly interest at an annual rate of 5% per year on the balance of the purchase price until it is paid in full. 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 approvals to perform mining operations at the I-M Mine Property.

At July 31, 2025 the following is the continuity of the $1,250,000 note receivable:

**7. EQUIPMENT (continued)**

**Assets Held for Sale**

During the year ended July 31, 2024, the Company approved a plan to sell its drilling equipment. No impairment loss was recognized on reclassification to asset held for sale as the Company estimated the fair value (estimated based on recent market prices of similar assets) less cost to sell to be higher than the carrying amount. As a result, the net carrying amount of $511,530 was reclassified. On May 16, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its drilling equipment for a sale price of $100,000 plus $100,000 in contingent payments. $100,000 was received on June 6, 2025 and subsequent payments of $50,000 payable for each of the two drilling rigs sold may be received when each rig drills its first hole to a depth of 200m, no later than four months following delivery. A loss of $411,530 on the sale of assets was recognized for the year ended July 31, 2025. The sale closed subsequent to year end and, as at July 31, 2025, the Company recorded a deposit liability of $100,000 pertaining to the first payment of $100,000 received on June 6, 2025.

**8. CONTINGENCY**

During the year ended July 31, 2014, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent ("LOI") with Wundr Software Inc. ("Wundr"). Under the terms of the LOI, the Company would acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Wundr. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Company did not complete the transactions contemplated in the LOI, which the Company announced had expired on January 10, 2014. On September 17, 2014, the Company learned that it was the subject, along with a number of additional defendants, of a notice of civil claim (the "Claim") filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia by Wundr, under which Wundr is seeking general damages from the Company as well as damages for conspiracy to cause economic harm. None of the allegations contained in the Claim have been proven in court. Management has determined that the probability of the Claim resulting in an unfavourable outcome and financial loss to the Company is unlikely.

In September 2024, the Company received a notice from the Community Environmental Advocates Foundation of intent to file a citizen suit against the Company for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act. The Company was not served with a summons and complaint filed in the citizen suit, and the Company was dismissed. The citizen suit proceeds, however, against Rise Grass Valley Inc, the subsidiary of the Company. Litigation is ongoing. Rise Grass Valley denies all allegations made in the citizen suit. Management has determined that no estimate of a loss event can be determined at this time in connection with the notice.

On September 3, 2019, the Company completed a debt financing with Eridanus Capital LLC ("Eridanus") for $1,000,000. The Eridanus loan has a term of 4 years and an annual interest rate of 10% for the first two years increasing to 20% in year 3 and to 25% in year 4. Interest will accrue and be paid along with the principal upon the maturity date. Eridanus received 1,150,000 bonus share purchase warrants as additional consideration for advancing the Eridanus loan. The fair value of these warrants was calculated to be $444,942 which was netted against the loan payable balance along with $15,000 paid to the lender for a total of $459,942 in issuance costs. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.80 (C$1.00) for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The Eridanus loan may be repaid prior to the maturity date, in whole or in part, provided that all accrued interest is paid. In addition, if total interest payments are less than $200,000, the difference will be paid to the Lender as prepayment compensation. The Eridanus loan is secured against the assets of the Company and its subsidiary.

In February 2023, the Company renegotiated its debt agreement with Eridanus whereby the Company agreed to pay $250,000 applied against unpaid and accrued interest and issue 575,000 share purchase warrants to Eridanus. The maturity date of the Eridanus loan has been extended by one year to September 4, 2024 and the interest rate has been reduced to 15% compounding monthly for a period of 12 months after which it reverts to 25% per annum, compounding monthly. The renegotiation of the debt was accounted for as a non - substantial debt modification.

Accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded and a new effective interest rate of 32.67% was established based on the carrying value of the debt and the revised cash flow. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share at an exercise price of $0.60 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants was calculated to be $154,218 which was netted against the loan payable balance.

In September 2024, the Company amended its debt agreement with Eridanus to extend an existing loan by one year to September 4, 2025, along with a reduction in interest rate to 15% per annum for a period of 12 months commencing September 4, 2024. Given that the renegotiation of the debt resulted in a change of the present value of the cash flow of less than 10%, the transaction has been recorded as a non-substantial debt modification for accounting purposes. The Company issued 1,700,000 share purchase warrants at an exercise price of US$0.115 to Eridanus as consideration for the extension. The share purchase warrants have a 4 year expiry period from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants was calculated to be $154,351 which was netted against the loan payable balance.

On October 10, 2024, the Company finalized a secured loan agreement with Myrmikan Gold Fund, LLC ("Myrmikan") for a $500,000 loan which will be used for the Company's working capital. The Myrmikan loan has a term of 4 years with an interest rate of 15% per annum with interest accruing and payable along with the principal upon maturity. The Company issued 2,882,514 share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.1735 with a 4 year expiry period as additional consideration for advancing the Myrmikan loan. The fair value of these warrants was calculated to be $334,423 which was netted against the loan payable balance. The Myrmikan loan may be repaid prior to the maturity date, in whole or in part, provided that all accrued interest is paid. The Myrmikan loan will be secured against the assets of the Company and its subsidiary.

**11. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY**

The exercise price of certain of the Company's share purchase warrants is fixed in Canadian dollars and the functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. These warrants are considered to be a derivative as a variable amount of cash in the Company's functional currency that will be received on exercise of the warrants. Accordingly, the share purchase warrants issued as part of past financings, are classified, and accounted for as warrant derivative. Share purchase warrants with a compensatory nature are not included in this calculation.

The following table shows a continuity of the Company's fair value of warrant derivative:

During the year ended July 31, 2025, the Company recorded no gain or loss on the fair value adjustment of the derivative liability (July 31, 2024 - gain of $140,015). During the year ended July 31, 2025, the 2,291,322 warrants expired unexercised.

**12. CREDIT FACILITY**

On February 6, 2024, the Company entered into a credit facility arrangement with an arm's length lender that also provides services to the Company. Pursuant to the arrangement, each month, the lender will defer and add to the loan principal an amount equal to half of the fees billed by the lender up to $1,000,000. Amounts loaned will bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum compounded annually and will be due four years from the date of the arrangement. The Company may repay any amounts owing under the credit facility at any time without penalty. In connection with the credit facility, the Company has issued 1,000,000 non-transferable share purchase warrants to the lender, with each warrant exercisable into one share of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.16 per share for a period of four years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants was calculated to be $127,336. In addition, for each $100,000 loaned under the arrangement, the Company has agreed to issue to the lender 200,000 additional non-transferable warrants ("Additional Warrants"). Each Additional Warrant will be exercisable into one share of common stock of the Company at any time within a four-year period from the date of issuance at an exercise price equal to the market price of the shares of the Company on grant.

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.**

None.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures** 

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") defines the term "disclosure controls and procedures" to mean controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of July 31, 2025 because of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that existed as of that date, as more fully described below.

**Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

We carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated 2013 Framework. Management concluded that our company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 31, 2025 because a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date as a result of a lack of segregation of incompatible duties due to insufficient personnel. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

------

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to a provision under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which grants a permanent exemption for non-accelerated filers from complying with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There were no changes in our company's internal control over financial reporting during the period ended July 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

**Item 9B. Other Information.** 

None.

Further, no such legal proceedings are believed to be contemplated by governmental authorities against any director or executive officer.

**Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports**

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires a company's directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of any class of a company's equity securities which are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership on Form 3, reports of changes in ownership on Form 4, and annual reports on Form 5 concerning their ownership of and transactions concerning our common stock and other equity securities.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by the company, or written representations from the reporting persons as of the date of this Report, management believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to directors, officers and 10% stockholders with respect to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 have been fulfilled, except that (a) Myrmikan Gold Fund, LLC filed one late report relating to one transaction, (b) Benjamin Mossman filed two late reports relating to four transactions, (c) Joseph Mullin filed one late report relating to one transaction, (d) Clynton Nauman filed one late report relating to one transaction, (e) Lawrence Lepard filed one late report relating to one transaction, (f) Thomas Vehrs filed one late report relating to one transaction, (g) Daniel Oliver filed one late report relating to one transaction, and (h) Mihai Draguleasa filed a late Form 3 (no transactions) and three late Form 4s (three transactions) and did not file a Form 5 annual report to report those three transactions, because he had not yet obtained EDGAR filer codes.

**Audit Committee Financial Expert**

Daniel Oliver Jr. is an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of Item 401(h)(1) of Regulation S-K. In general, an "audit committee financial expert" is an individual member of the audit committee who (a) understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, (b) is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, reserves and accruals, (c) has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by our company's financial statements, (d) understands internal controls over financial reporting, and (e) understands audit committee functions. We have determined that Mr. Oliver is an independent director as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2).

**Nomination of Directors**

The Company does not have a formal process or committee for proposing new nominees for election to the Board or for stockholders to make such nominations, and there has been no change in that regard since our last annual report on Form 10-K. Management is in contact with individuals involved in the mineral exploration sector, and in the event that we require any new directors, such individuals will be brought to the attention of the Board. Management will conduct reference and background checks on suitable candidates. New nominees generally must have a track record in business management, areas of strategic interest to our company, the ability to devote the time required to carry out the obligations and responsibilities of a director and a willingness to serve in that capacity.

**Code of Ethics**

During our fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted a written Code of Ethics within the meaning of Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. The Code of Ethics obligates our directors, officers and employees to disclose potential conflicts of interest and prohibits those persons from engaging in such transactions without the Board's consent.

The Board is also required to comply with the conflict of interest provisions of relevant corporate and securities laws and regulations in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or officer has a material interest.

**Insider Trading Policies and Procedures**

The Company's Code of Ethics (a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 13.1) contains provisions requiring the Company's executive officers to comply with certain insider trading requirements. The Company also follows certain practices that management believes are designed to promote compliance by its directors, officers and employees with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, including the listing standards of the CSE, but the Company has not formally adopted written insider trading policies and procedures. Management believes that the approach the Company has taken to date has been sufficient because the Company has a small number of directors, officers and employees who have been advised upon joining the Company about applicable insider trading prohibitions and are also notified of any mandated blackout periods The management and the Board of Directors are considering adopting formal insider trading policies and procedures.

Since September 23, 2023, Joseph Mullin has been providing services to the Company pursuant to a consulting agreement (the "Consulting Agreement"). Pursuant to the "Consulting Agreement" with an effective date as of September 23, 2023 (the "Effective Date") made among the Corporation, Mount Arvon Partners LLC (the "Consultant") and Joseph E. Mullin III, the owner of the Consultant, the Corporation engaged the Consultant to provide consulting services to the Corporation, including providing the services of Mr. Mullin on a 50% time commitment basis as the Corporation's Chief Executive Officer and President and, upon being elected or appointed as such, Director, of the Corporation. The term of the Consulting Agreement is on a month-to-month basis unless extended at any time by mutual agreement of the parties.

The Consulting Agreement provides that the Consultant shall be paid a monthly consulting fee of $11,000 and may also be paid discretionary bonuses in cash and/or stock if approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors. The Corporation will reimburse the Consultant for reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred by the Consultant in the performance of services under the Consulting Agreement, provided that any such expenses totalling more than $4,500 in any calendar month must be preapproved by the Board of Directors. In addition, the Consulting Agreement provides that the Consultant will be granted stock options and/or restricted stock units ("RSUs") in accordance with the Corporation's stock option plan, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors and in accordance with the policies of the stock exchange on which the Corporation's shares are traded (the "Exchange"), and that all incentive awards granted to the Consultant will immediately become fully vested and exercisable on a change of control of the Corporation, subject to Exchange policies. The amount of the options and/or RSUs to be granted shall be targeted at 4% of the Corporation's shares on a fully diluted basis, with 1% vesting on the Effective Date and an additional 0.5% vesting at the beginning of each of the first six calendar quarters following the Effective Date to the extent the Agreement remains in force. To the extent that the Corporation is not able to issue the full targeted amount of options and/or RSUs on the Effective Date, the Corporation has agreed to provide the Consultant with a "make whole" bonus to cover the value of the shortfall up to a maximum of $1 million.

The Consultant may terminate the Consulting Agreement at any time upon 30 days' written notice to the Corporation. If the effective date of such a termination is at least 12 months after the Effective Date, the Consultant will be entitled to receive additional compensation. Additional compensation ("Additional Compensation"), which is based on market capitalization benchmarks determined at the date of termination, is as follows: Three months' compensation if the Corporation's market capitalization exceeds $5 million, plus an additional six months' compensation if the Corporation's market capitalization exceeds $10 million, plus an additional six months' compensation if the Corporation's market capitalization exceeds $20 million, plus an additional eighteen months' compensation if the Corporation's market capitalization exceeds $30 million. The Corporation may terminate the Consulting Agreement at any time without cause immediately after delivery of written notice to the Consultant, provided that the Corporation pays the Consultant three months' compensation plus any Additional Compensation as described above. In the event of such a termination, the Consultant will also be entitled to exercise any vested stock options by the earlier of (i) the expiry date of the stock options, or (ii) 90 days from the termination date of the Consulting Agreement, unless another date is mutually agreed upon.

Subject only to any contrary agreement being established between the Corporation and the Consultant, if there is a change of control of the Corporation, the Consultant may receive, at the Consultant's option, upon the final court order and in advance of closing in a plan of arrangement, or after shareholder and court approval and within a three-month period of the change of control, the following additional compensation: Three months' compensation, plus an additional three months' compensation if the change of control occurs when the Corporation's market capitalization exceeds $5 million, plus an additional six months' compensation if the change of control occurs when the Corporation's market capitalization exceeds $10 million, plus an additional six months' compensation if the change of control occurs when the Corporation's market capitalization exceeds $20 million, plus an additional eighteen months' compensation if the change of control occurs when the Corporation's market capitalization exceeds $30 million.

**Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.**

**Certain Relationships and Related Transactions**

On April 17, 2018, we entered into a consulting agreement with J. Proust & Associates Inc. ("JPA"), a management services company owned by one of our directors, John Proust. JPA agreed to provide the Company with such business advisory, finance, accounting and corporate administrative services as may be requested by the Company, including a Chief Financial Officer, a Controller and Corporate Secretary, plus use of a fully furnished office, for a monthly fee of C$7,100, or C$85,200 on an annualized basis. The agreement provides that the Company may grant stock options to JPA or its employees, as determined by the Board of Directors from time to time. The agreement had a one-year term that commenced on April 17, 2018. On December 13, 2018, the parties amended the agreement to increase the compensation to C$15,000 per month, or C$180,000 on an annualized basis, and to revise the term of the agreement, with a new one-year term commencing on January 1, 2019 that continues thereafter on a month-to-month basis, unless the agreement is terminated by the parties in accordance with its terms. During the year ended July 31, 2025, the Company paid $64,539 to JPA under this agreement. The agreement ended on January 31, 2025.

Daniel Oliver Jr. is the manager of Myrmikan Capital, LLC, which, in turn, is the manager of Eridanus Capital, LLC ("Eridanus"). Eridanus provided a secured loan to our wholly owned subsidiary, Rise Grass Valley in 2019. Mr. Oliver currently has a 20% membership interest in Eridanus. Mr. Oliver was appointed to our Board of Directors on July 10, 2023.

------

Rise Grass Valley and Eridanus entered into a loan agreement dated for reference August 30, 2019 (the "Loan Agreement") pursuant to which Eridanus provided a $1,000,000 secured loan (the "Loan") to Rise Grass Valley. As partial consideration for entering into the Loan Agreement, we issued 1,150,000 share purchase warrants to Eridanus. Each warrant entitled Eridanus to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of CAD$1.00 per share for a period of 3 years from the date of issuance of the warrants, which expiry date has been extended to September 9, 2024. Eridanus subsequently transferred its warrants to its members. As a result, Mr. Oliver acquired 374,000 of those warrants. The Loan Agreement provided for an initial term of two years, with interest payable at 10% per annum compounded monthly, and an option to extend the term for an additional two years with interest payable at 20% per annum compounded monthly for the third year and at 25% per annum compounded monthly for the fourth year. Rise Grass Valley exercised the option to extend the term of the loan. Pursuant to an agreement dated January 27, 2023, Eridanus agreed to extend the maturity date of the Loan by one year to September 4, 2024 and to reduce the interest rate from 25% to 15% per annum compounded monthly for a period of 12 months from February 17, 2023. After February 17, 2024, the rate of interest reverted to 25% per annum compounded monthly. We issued an aggregate of 575,000 share purchase warrants to the members of Eridanus in proportion to their respective interests. As a member of Eridanus, Mr. Oliver acquired 115,000 of those warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of our common stock at an exercise price of US$0.60 until February 17, 2025. In May 2025, we repaid the outstanding balance of the loan. See note 10(a) of the July 31, 2025 audited financial statement for more details.

As at July 31, 2025, $Nil was owed to Eridanus under the Loan Agreement.

On October 10, 2024, Rise Grass Valley finalized a secured loan agreement with Myrmikan Gold Fund, LLC ("Myrmikan") for a $500,000 loan which will be used for the Company's working capital. The Myrmikan loan has a term of 4 years with an interest rate of 15% per annum with interest accruing and payable along with the principal upon maturity. The Company issued 2,882,514 share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.1735 with a 4 year expiry period as additional consideration for advancing the Myrmikan loan. The Myrmikan loan may be repaid prior to the maturity date, in whole or in part, provided that all accrued interest is paid. The Myrmikan loan will be secured against the assets of the Company and its subsidiary. In May 2025, we repaid the outstanding balance of the loan. See note 10(b) of the July 31, 2025 audited financial statement for more details.

As at July 31, 2025, $Nil was owed to Myrmikan under the Loan Agreement.

**Director Independence**

Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we currently use the definition in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) for determining director independence, which provides that an "independent director" is a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

* the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;

* the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

* a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;

------

* the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient's consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);

* the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

* the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the Company's outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company's outside auditor, and who worked on the company's audit.

We have determined that, Lawrence Lepard, Clynton Nauman, Daniel Oliver, and Thomas Vehrs meet this definition of independence.
