UNITED STATES - PRIVATE MINERAL RIGHTS

• USA stopped issuing patents in 1994
• Most significant historic mining properties re-developed after gold price removed from fix in 1970’s
• Strong Rule of Law and property rights

NEVADA COUNTY IS LEAD AGENCY FOR FUTURE PERMITTING

• No permits required for exploration drilling from surface
• Underground exploration and mining is an allowed use in Zoning regulations subject to a Use Permit
• Nevada County is lead agency for future mine permitting, NOT California State
• No permitting through US BLM or US Forest Service

I-M was NOT “Mined Out”

CSE: RISE OTC: RYES

I-M Mine was forced to shut down

• Forced closure in 1942 by US Government during WWII
• I-M was the second largest lode gold mine in the entire USA in 1940
• I-M completed a major capital expansion to double production just before shutdown

Forced shutdown devastated the I-M and American gold mining

• I-M lost access to its highest grade reserves in the Idaho Mine due to lack of maintenance
• CEO had a stroke during the war and was incapacitated
• Fixed gold price at $35 and high cost inflation after WWII. Gold prices at historic lows until 1971

I-M under option for last three decades

• Emgold and predecessors controlled the I-M from ~1985-2013
• Emgold didn’t drill a single hole beneath the mine workings during this time
• Emgold’s largest shareholder (20%), RAB Capital, imploded after 2008 financial crisis

• Brilliant mine engineer Errol MacBoyle takes control of a consolidated Idaho-Maryland Mine as

Presidentand General Manager.

• The Idaho Mine is considered mined out but MacBoyle recognizes the huge opportunity of the

property.

• MacBoyle discovers the #3 vein in 1929 which is the catalyst for the huge growth in gold production
• ver the coming years.
• Gold discovered on property in 1861.
• 935,000 oz gold produced from #1 Vein at an average head grade of 1.12oz/ton (39gpt).*
• In 1934 the US government raises prices of gold from$20/oz to $35/oz.
• MacBoyle acquires Brunswick Mine and makes numerous new discoveries.
• From 1936-1941 the mineproduced from95,000-129,000 oz of gold per year.*
• Idaho-Maryland Mine is now the 2nd largest gold producer in theUnited States.

• Errol MacBoyle suffers a paralytic stroke in 1943 which leaves him invalid and leads to his death in 1949.
• Most of the Idaho Minebecomes inaccessibledue to lack of maintenance.
• Idaho workforce and staff disbanded. Infighting between board of directors.
• In December 1941 the USA joins WorldWar II.
• In 1942 Macboyle completed an expansion to the New Brunswick shaft headframe, hoist, and crusher

to expandproduction to 2,000 tons/day and to deepen theshaft to a depth of 5,000ft.

• In 1942 the US government orders all gold mines in the USA, including Idaho-Maryland, to shut down.
• In 1944 the mine is restarted at limited capacity and withoutits Leader.
• The company has lost its crews and capital and resorts to using lease miners to mine any easily

assessable mineralization.

• Massive inflation after the war and the fixed price of gold at $35/oz leads to almost all gold mines

becoming unprofitable.

• Dr. Carlton Hulin – Professor UC Berkeley - 1951

“The Idaho No. 1 vein, which contained the great bonanza ore body mined in early days, has been extensively developed above the 2000 level. Below the 2000 level this vein has been barely touched down to the 2400 level on the west and down to the 2700 level on the east. Thus this great vein, great in terms of its past production amounting to tens of millions of dollars in gold, remains completely virgin and unexploredbelow the 2000 level through a length which at the 2400 level elevation amounts to 1675 ft (510 m).”

Post-War 52 Vein Discovery

N E W D I S C O V E R I E S I N T H E F I N A L Y E A R S O F T H E I - M M I N E

GRASS VALLEY, May 20 (Exclusive) – White quartz glistening with free gold is being mined from the ore body discovered about three weeks ago on the 2700-foot level of the Idaho mine. Albert Crase, president and general manager of Idaho-Maryland Mines Corp., reported leasers have taken out $50,000 in specimen

• re from one of the six parallel veins found in the zone, piling the high-grade in powder boxes as it is mined. Prospects are said

excellent for production of some of the richest ore ever found in the Grass Valley area. In Virgin Area The discovery was made in a zone between the 2300-foot workings of the Idaho and 3200-foot Brunswick mine level, in a virgin area

• pened by the wide raise or inside shaft completed about a year ago. A crosscut from the deep Brunswick level is being driven into

the Idaho to contact the downward extension of the ore body and explore extensions of numerous intervening ledges. Crase expressed the belief that gold production from the new area will equal that of the 1928 discovery which made Idaho- Maryland Mines the second largest American gold producer. Specimen ore is showing in the new winze going down through the ore body from Idaho workings to the Brunswick 3200-foot level, and sufficient tonnage has already been blocked out to assure a long period of steady production.
