RISE GOLD CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 2025
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
(Unaudited)
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Rise Gold Corp. (the "Company") was originally incorporated as Atlantic Resources Inc. in the State of Nevada on February 9, 2007 and is in the exploration stage. On April 11, 2012, the Company merged its wholly-owned subsidiary, Patriot Minefinders Inc., a Nevada corporation, in and to the Company to effect a name change to Patriot Minefinders Inc. On January 14, 2015, the Company completed a name change to Rise Resources Inc. in the same manner. On March 29, 2017, the Company changed its name to Rise Gold Corp. These mergers were carried out solely for the purpose of effecting these changes of names.
On September 18, 2020, the Company increased its authorized capital from 40,000,000 shares to 400,000,000 shares.
On January 29, 2016, the Company completed an initial public offering in Canada and began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") on February 1, 2016.
The Company is in the early stages of exploration and as is common with any exploration company, it raises financing for its acquisition activities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which presumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a loss of $ 2,070,760 for the period the nine months ended April 30, 2025 and has accumulated a deficit of $ 32,305,377 . The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to maintain continued support from its shareholders and creditors and to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms advantageous to the Company. These events and conditions cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
At April 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital surplus of $ 576,123 (July 31, 2024 - deficit of $ 1,766,960 ).
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("US GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-K. Results are not necessarily indicative of results which may be achieved in the future. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management's Discussion and Analysis, for the year ended July 31, 2024. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These financial statements follow the same accounting policies in the annual financial statements. The operating results for the nine months ended April 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended July 31, 2025.

(Unaudited)
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)
Basis of Consolidation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rise Grass Valley Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to use power over the investee to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which control ceases.
The accounts of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of estimates include the carrying value and recoverability of mineral properties and the recognition of deferred tax assets based on the change in unrecognized deductible temporary tax differences. Actual results could differ from those estimates and would impact future results of operations and cash flows.
3. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
As at April 30, 2025, the balance of cash and cash equivalents is $ 2,327,424 (July 31, 2024: $ 243,669 ).

Title to mineral properties
Title to mineral properties involves certain inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain mineral titles. Additionally, the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveying history characteristic of many mineral properties also exist. As at April 30, 2025 the Company holds title to the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine Property.
As of April 30, 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.
Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine Property, California
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 was credited against the purchase price of $ 2,000,000 upon exercise of the option. On November 30, 2016, the Company negotiated an extension of the closing date of the option agreement to December 26, 2016, in return for a cash payment of $ 25,000 , which was also 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 the net amount owing of $ 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 per cent 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 C$ 2.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one transferable share purchase warrant exercisable into one share of common stock at a price of C$ 4.00 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. On January 24, 2019, these warrants expired unexercised. The Company also incurred additional transaction costs of $ 109,053 , which have been included in the carrying value of the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine.

Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine Property, California (continued)
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 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 the final payment of $ 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.
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 pays 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 has a fair value of $ 851,852 on November 27, 2024, calculated based on an 8 % interest rate. On January 14, 2025, the Company and the buyer negotiated a discounted, accelerated payment whereby the Company received $ 702,000 in lieu of the second $ 900,000 payment due in November 2026. 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.

6. EQUIPMENT (continued)
Assets Held for Sale
During the year ended July 31, 2024, the Company approved a plan to sell its drilling equipment. The Company intends to sell the equipment within the next twelve months. As a result, the net carrying amount of $ 511,530 has been reclassified to Assets Held for Sale during the year ended July 31, 2024. The Company performed an assessment of the recoverability of the carrying amount at April 30, 2025 and determined that the drilling equipment should be written down to $ 200,000 , based on the subsequent transacted sale price. An impairment loss of $ 311,530 was recognized on the Consolidated Interim Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss for the period ended April 30, 2025. On May 16, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its drilling equipment for a sale price of $ 200,000 . $ 100,000 was received on June 6, 2025 and subsequent payments of $ 50,000 payable for each of the two drilling rigs sold are to be received when each rig drills its first hole to a depth of 200m, no later than four months following delivery.
7. CONTINGENCY
During the year ended July 31, 2014, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent ("LOI") with Wundr Software Inc. ("Wundr"). Under the terms of the LOI, the Company would acquire 100 % of the issued and outstanding common shares of Wundr. The Company did not complete the transactions contemplated in the LOI, which the Company announced had expired on January 10, 2014.
On September 17, 2014, the Company learned that it was the subject, along with a number of additional defendants, of a notice of civil claim (the "Claim") filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia by Wundr, under which Wundr is seeking general damages from the Company as well as damages for conspiracy to cause economic harm. None of the allegations contained in the Claim have been proven in court. Management has assessed that the probability of the Claim resulting in an unfavourable outcome and financial loss to the Company is unlikely.
In September 2024, the Company received a notice from the Community Environmental Advocates Foundation of intent to file a citizen suit against the Company for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act. The Company has not yet been served with a summons and complaint filed in the citizen suit, but the Company's attorneys have engaged the Community Environmental Advocates Foundation's attorneys in an attempt to informally resolve the allegations without litigation. The Company denies all allegations contained in the notice. Management has determined that no estimate of a loss event can be determined at this time in connection with the notice.

a) Eridanus Loan
On September 3, 2019, the Company completed a debt financing with Eridanus Capital LLC ("Eridanus") for $ 1,000,000 . The Eridanus loan has a term of 4 years and an annual interest rate of 10 % for the first two years increasing to 20 % in year 3 and to 25 % in year 4. Interest will accrue and be paid along with the principal upon the maturity date. Eridanus received 1,150,000 bonus share purchase warrants as additional consideration for advancing the Eridanus loan. The fair value of these warrants was calculated to be $ 444,942 which was netted against the loan payable balance along with $ 15,000 paid to the lender for a total of $ 459,942 in issuance costs. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.80 (C$ 1.00 ) for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The Eridanus loan may be repaid prior to the maturity date, in whole or in part, provided that all accrued interest is paid. In addition, if total interest payments are less than $ 200,000 , the difference will be paid to the Lender as prepayment compensation. The Eridanus loan is secured against the assets of the Company and its subsidiary.
In February 2023, the Company renegotiated its debt agreement with Eridanus whereby the Company agreed to pay $ 250,000 applied against unpaid and accrued interest and issue 575,000 share purchase warrants to Eridanus. The maturity date of the Eridanus loan has been extended by one year to September 4, 2024 and the interest rate has been reduced to 15 % compounding monthly for a period of 12 months after which it reverts to 25 % per annum, compounding monthly. The renegotiation of the debt was accounted for as a non - substantial debt modification.

9. LOANS PAYABLE (continued)
a) Eridanus Loan (continued)
Accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded and a new effective interest rate of 32.67 % was established based on the carrying value of the debt and the revised cash flow. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share at an exercise price of $ 0.60 for a period of two years from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants was calculated to be $ 154,218 which was netted against the loan payable balance.

Given that the renegotiation of the debt resulted in a change of the present value of the cash flow of less than 10 %, the transaction has been recorded as a non-substantial debt modification for accounting purposes. The Company issued 1,700,000 share purchase warrants at an exercise price of US$ 0.115 to Eridanus as consideration for the extension. The share purchase warrants have a 4 year expiry period from the date of issuance. The fair value of these warrants was calculated to be $ 154,351 which was netted against the loan payable balance.

The Myrmikan loan has a term of 4 years with an interest rate of 15 % per annum with interest accruing and payable along with the principal upon maturity. The Company issued 2,882,514 share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $ 0.1735 with a 4 year expiry period as additional consideration for advancing the Myrmikan loan. The fair value of these warrants was calculated to be $ 334,423 which was netted against the loan payable balance. The Myrmikan loan may be repaid prior to the maturity date, in whole or in part, provided that all accrued interest is paid. The Myrmikan loan will be secured against the assets of the Company and its subsidiary.

10. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The exercise price of the Company's share purchase warrants is fixed in Canadian dollars and the functional currency of the Company is the USD. These warrants are considered to be a derivative as a variable amount of cash in the Company's functional currency will be received on exercise of the warrants. Accordingly, the share purchase warrants issued as part of past financings, are classified and accounted for as a derivative liability.

11. CREDIT FACILITY
On February 6, 2024, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility arrangement with an arm's length lender that also provides services to the Company. Pursuant to the arrangement, each month, the lender will defer and add to the loan principal an amount equal to half of the fees billed by the lender up to $ 1,000,000 . Amounts loaned will bear interest at a rate of 12 % per annum compounded annually and will be due four years from the date of the arrangement. The Company may repay any amounts owing under the credit facility at any time without penalty. In connection with the credit facility, the Company has issued 1,000,000 non-transferable share purchase warrants to the lender, with each warrant exercisable into one share of common stock of the Company at a price of $ 0.16 per share for a period of four years from the date of issuance.
