Rise Gold extended by two years the expiry of 6,308,310 warrants issued in its 2019-2020 financings (priced at CAD/USD $1.00) after none were exercised, and added an accelerated-expiry provision - housekeeping that also signals the stock has stayed below the warrants' strike price.
Metallurgical testwork on Idaho-Maryland ore achieved 98.7% gold recovery into concentrate averaging 117 gpt gold - a strong result that de-risks the eventual processing plan for the project, after several years without a story-bearing update.

Drilling into the Idaho Vein hit exceptionally high grades - 90.4 gpt gold over 4.27m, including a 458 gpt (13.4 oz/ton) sub-interval - among the best results yet at Idaho-Maryland, alongside further intercepts in the 52 Vein and a shallow near-surface zone.
