Item 8.01. Other Events.
On October 22, 2012, September 2013 was set as the new trial date for the litigation between Coeur Rochester, Inc., a subsidiary of Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation, and Rye Patch Gold Corp. and Rye Patch Gold US, Inc., relating to certain disputed unpatented federal mining claims. The new trial date was set following the October 12, 2012 order (the “Order”) of the Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada vacating the original November 2012 trial date.
The Order was granted on Coeur Rochester's motion. Rye Patch had the opportunity to oppose Coeur Rochester's motion and argue to maintain the November 2012 trial date, but elected not to. Coeur Rochester's motion cited several important pending pre-trial issues yet to be resolved, including competing motions for partial summary judgment and the pending appellate proceedings relating to the District Court's appointment of the Special Master to assist in pre-trial matters. Coeur Rochester's motion also cited the substantial amount of discovery yet to be completed, which includes discovery to which Coeur Rochester is entitled from Rye Patch Gold Corp., the publicly-traded parent company of Rye Patch Gold US, Inc., and discovery related to defenses and claims raised by Rye Patch after the previous written discovery deadline.
