expectations will prove to be correct. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to certain factors including,

without limitation, obtaining all necessary approvals, expenditure and financing requirements, title matters, operating hazards, metal prices, political and

economic factors, competitive factors, general economic conditions, relationships with vendors and strategic partners, governmental regulation and

supervision, seasonality, technological change, industry practices, and one-time events that may cause actual results, performance or developments to differ

materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and

The Company cautions that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Rise Gold Corp. has not established

mineral reserves supported by a NI43-101 compliant technical report and feasibility study. The Company cautions readers that production may not be

economically feasible. Rise Gold Corp. has not verified the historical mineral resources estimated for the Idaho-Maryland property. Rise is not treating these

historical mineral estimates as current mineral resources and the historical mineral resources should not be relied on.

Mr. Benjamin Mossman P.Eng, CEO of Rise Gold Corp. is the qualified person who reviewed and approved the contents of this presentation.

▪ I-M Mine was the #2 producing gold mine in the entire USA in 1941

▪ It was producing up to 129,000 oz of gold per year before forced WWII shutdown.

▪ In 1942 the I-M completed a major expansion to double production from 1000 tpd to 2000 tpd

▪ I-M has produced 2,414,000 oz gold at an average head grade of 17 gpt gold

▪ Three esteemed geologists independently studied the underground mine while it was in

operation and recommended the exploration target

▪ This target has never been tested….

1942 - I-M WAS FORCED TO SHUTDOWN

PRIVATELY OWNED LAND AND MINERAL RIGHTS▪ One of the most stable and safest jurisdictions in the world and strong Rule of Law.

MAJOR HIGH GRADE PAST PRODUCING GOLD MINE▪ I-M Mine was one of the most prolific historic gold producers in the entire United States

▪ Exceptionally high grade with average historic mill head grade of 17 gpt gold

INITIAL DRILL PROGRAM TARGETING A DRAMATIC DISCOVERY▪ Drilling directly under historic mined areas with exceptional gold grades

▪ Numerous historic drill holes, mapping, and historic resources in target area

▪ Convergence of three major mineralized faults. Focus of historic operators….Never tested…

▪ Phase 1 drill program targets only a fraction of exploration area

REMARKABLE GROWTH OPPORTUNITY▪ Large scale exploration targets at I-M Mine below mine workings

▪ The I-M Mine is the heart of the Grass Valley district and the key to consolidation of the entire area which

was producing 271,000 oz gold per year in 1941 before forced government shutdown

H.F. Lynn, Mine Superintendent - 1936

▪ “It will be necessary to increase the milling capacity to 1330 tons per day. At this rate of production and exhaustion , a depth well

above that which profitable veins are known to exist in this district will provide for successful operations for forty years, under

current conditions.”

Dr. Cyrus Tolman, Professor Stanford University - 1936

▪ “Your attention is especially directed to stereogram No. 3 which pictures the great “ore funnel” formed by the intersection of the

Idaho-Brunswick vein system with the Morehouse System. I recommended sinking the vertical Brunswick shaft to the 4,000 foot

level.”

Dr. Alan Bateman , Professor Yale University - 1948

▪ “The Morehouse, Idaho, and 6-3 faults converge downward. As their intersections approach each other, a much fissured and

crackled zone should be expected along the locus of the entrance of mineralizing solutions. This zone should be thoroughly

explored and justifies the deepening of the Brunswick vertical shaft.”

Dr. Carlton Hulin – Professor UC Berkeley - 1951

▪ “Numerous exploration possibilities exist within both the Idaho-Maryland and Brunswick properties any one of which could give

rise to the discovery of important new occurrences of ore. The exploration possibilities are so numerous that they can only be

touched upon briefly.“

▪ “The type of mineralization represented in this area is one which could extend to vastly greater depth than has yet been reached.

It is thus evident that beneath the present deepest mine workings there exists a vast unexplored area within which important but

unknown ore bodies may well exist.”

Historic Mineral Resource Emgold Mining Corporation (AMEC 2002)

Historic Mineral Resource for Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine reported by Emgold Mining Corporation on November 1st 2002 in a report titled “Idaho-

Maryland Mine Technical Report" authored by AMEC E&C Services, S.J. Juras, P.Geo and S.K.. Morris, P.Geo. Mineral Resource is stated at a 3 gpt

gold cut-off grade. AMEC used mineral resource categories which are consistent with current NI 43-101 disclosure requirements.

Historic Mineral Resource (AMEC 2002)

Rise Gold Corp. has not done sufficient work to classify the historical mineral resources estimated for the Idaho-Maryland Property as a current

mineral resource. Rise is not treating these historical mineral estimates as a current estimate for mineral resources.

The Company cautions that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Rise Resources Inc.

has not established mineral reserves supported by a NI 43-101 compliant technical report and feasibility study. The Company cautions readers

that production may not be economically feasible.
