Item 8.01 Other Events

On January 18, 2023, Rise Gold Corp. issued a news release announcing the intention to raise up to US$1,600,000 through the issuance of up to 4,000,000 units (each a "Unit") at a price of US$0.40 per Unit (~CDN$0.55 per Unit), with each Unit comprising one share of common stock (a "Share") and one-half of one share purchase warrant (the "Private Placement"). Each whole warrant (a "Warrant") entitles the holder to acquire one Share at an exercise price of US$0.60 for a period of two years from the date of issuance.

Rise Gold will use the proceeds from the Private Placement for the advancement of its Idaho-Maryland Mine Project and for general working capital. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to statutory hold periods in accordance with applicable United States and Canadian securities laws.

The securities offered have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold absent registration or compliance with an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
