Item 8.01 Other Events
Rise Gold Corp. announced that Nevada County has received an initial batch of return cards from hundreds of Nevada County residents indicating support for the Idaho-Maryland Mine Project, citing the project's employment and economic benefits. The Nevada County Board of Supervisors received 527 return cards representing 621 local individuals or businesses in support of reopening the Idaho-Maryland Mine.
The public comment period is currently underway for the Draft Environmental Impact Report (the "DEIR") for the Idaho-Maryland Mine Project. The report's release on January 4th represented a major milestone toward the approval of the Company's Use Permit application to reopen the historic past-producing Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine.
Nevada County officials announced an extension of the public comment period for an additional 30 days to accommodate residents affected by a damaging winter storm that began on December 27 and was eventually deemed a California State Emergency. The public comment period will now end on April 4th. The storm resulted in fallen trees and loss of power to approximately 33,000 Nevada County area homes. Electricity was fully restored on January 11th. The comment period extension is to help ensure greater public participation in the DEIR review process. The county plans to process comments during the public comment period, which may mitigate the impact on the timeline for completion of the Use Permit process.
