Court delays Rise Gold's Idaho-Maryland Mine writ hearing to March 6, 2026
Rise Gold Corp.
- Oral arguments on Rise's writ to compel Nevada County to recognize vested mine rights delayed from Jan 9 to Mar 6, 2026, on court's own initiative.
- Writ filed May 2024 after county rejected vested rights petition in Dec 2023, claiming mining ceased by 1956.
- County argued cessation of use equals abandonment; Rise cites California Supreme Court Hanson Bros. case requiring clear intent to abandon.
- CEO David Watkinson expressed frustration, noting case has broad implications for property rights in California.
- I-M Mine produced 2.4M oz gold historically; operation dependent on writ outcome.
