On May 15, 2018 Rise Gold Corp. (the “Company”) completed the purchase of 82 acres of fee-simple land (the “Mill Site Property”) adjacent to the historic New Brunswick mine shaft by making a final payment of US$400,000. The total of the payments made to acquire the undivided 100% interest in the Mill Site Property was US$1,900,000. Rise Gold has invested a total of US$3,900,000 for the purchase of private land in Nevada County, California and now owns 175 acres of industrial zoned fee-simple land in Nevada County, California along with 2,800 acres of private mineral rights which encompasses the Idaho-Maryland Gold Project.
The Company has purchased the Mill Site Property to support the exploration and future development of the Idaho-Maryland Gold Project. The Mill Site Property is located adjacent to the New Brunswick mine shaft. Prior to 1991, the Mill Site Property hosted a major commercial lumber mill and 55,000 ft2 of industrial buildings. All buildings have subsequently been removed. The Property has a leveled area of approximately 40 acres and a large water-recycle pond which was constructed in 1988. The pond has a surface area of approximately 3.7 acres and a design capacity of approximately 40 acre-feet. Records indicate that the pond is lined with a 2 ft layer of clay and was designed by a registered civil engineer.
