Item 8.01 Other Events

Rise Gold Corp. reported the County of Nevada released a favorable independent report, "Economic Impact of the Proposed Idaho-Maryland Mine Project" on November 15^th, 2022,  an economic study with Robert D. Niehaus, Inc. (RDN) on the proposed Idaho-Maryland Mine Project. The report estimates the economic and fiscal impacts on local businesses, residential property values, utility providers, public services, and tax revenues and informs the decision-making process regarding the project's significant economic benefits for the community.

An outline of remaining key milestones in the Use Permit Application process is as follows:

• Nevada County will publish a Final Environmental Impact Report (the "Final EIR") which will include responses to public comments;
• The Nevada County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider the Final EIR and make a recommendation on project approval to the Nevada County Board of Supervisors;
• The Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing to consider and make a final decision on the IMM Project. A majority vote of the five supervisors is required to approve the project.

The timeline to complete the Use Permit Application process largely depends on the Nevada County government and the completion of the Final EIR. The Company estimates that the Final EIR will be published before the end of 2022 and public hearings and an approval decision on the Use Permit in the first quarter of 2022.
