Rise Gold Corp. reported the Nevada County Planning Department announced that the Planning Commission hearing for the Idaho-Maryland Mine Project (the "IMM Project") will take place on May 10th and will continue on May 11th as needed. The Planning Commission hearing is one of two major milestones remaining towards approval of the Company's Use Permit application to reopen the historic past-producing Idaho-Maryland gold mine.
As discussed in the Company's December 16th, 2022 news release, Nevada County released a favorable Final Environmental Impact Report (the "FEIR") for the Idaho-Maryland Mine Project.
A general outline of the remaining milestones in the Use Permit application to reopen the historic past-producing Idaho-Maryland gold mine are as follows:
1) The Nevada County Planning Commission holds a public hearing to consider the FEIR and make a recommendation on project approval to the Nevada County Board of Supervisors.
2) The Board of Supervisors holds a public hearing to consider and make a final decision on the IMM Project. A majority vote of the five supervisors is required to approve the project.
