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.

On October 1, 2024, the Company contracted to sell 66 acres of surface rights located adjacent to the Company's Idaho-Maryland Mine Property.

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.
