Phase I Drilling at Douay. Maple Gold Mines commenced a Phase I diamond drilling program at the Douay Gold project that is expected to last three to four months. The company’s drilling program will entail a minimum of 10,000 meters of diamond drilling, with ~70% dedicated to de-risking and expanding the Douay mineral resource and 30% for testing new regional geological and geophysical targets. At the Douay gold project, the goal is to expand and upgrade the current three-million-ounce gold resource to five million ounces. The first phase will target shallow portions of the Douay system at a vertical depth of less than 500 meters, while the second phase will test vertical depths greater than 500 meters.
Drilling at Joutel is planned in 2H 2025. An additional 3,000 meters of diamond drilling is planned at Joutel in the second half of 2025 to extend the known high-grade gold mineralization along the past-producing Eagle-Telbel mine trend.

Executive Order. Monday, President Trump signed an Executive Order for the temporary withdrawal of all areas on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) from offshore wind leasing as well as a review of the federal government’s leasing and permitting practices for wind projects. This withdrawal temporarily prevents consideration of any area in the OCS for any new or renewed wind energy leasing for the purposes of generation of electricity or any other such use derived from the use of wind.
Impact on GLDD. Notably, nothing in the withdrawal affects rights under existing leases in the withdrawn areas. However, the President has directed the Secretary of the Interior to comprehensively review the ecological, economic, and environmental necessity of terminating or amending any existing wind energy leases. Great Lakes’ two existing projects, Empire Wind and Sunrise Wind, have already undergone extensive governmental review and, presumably, should go forward.

Paving the way for an off-take agreement. Century Lithium recently executed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) to formalize a multi-year off-take agreement with Orica Specialty Chemicals to purchase sodium hydroxide from Century Lithium’s wholly owned Angel Island project.

Initial term of five years. The contemplated off-take agreement will have an initial term of five years and a right of first offer for an additional five years. It would account for a large portion of the surplus sodium hydroxide produced during the early years of the Angel Island project’s operation. A definitive agreement will contain pricing terms.

GeoVax Labs, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel therapies and vaccines for solid tumor cancers and many of the world’s most threatening infectious diseases. The company’s lead program in oncology is a novel oncolytic solid tumor gene-directed therapy, Gedeptin®, presently in a multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial for advanced head and neck cancers. GeoVax’s lead infectious disease candidate is GEO-CM04S1, a next-generation COVID-19 vaccine targeting high-risk immunocompromised patient populations. Currently in three Phase 2 clinical trials, GEO-CM04S1 is being evaluated as a primary vaccine for immunocompromised patients such as those suffering from hematologic cancers and other patient populations for whom the current authorized COVID-19 vaccines are insufficient, and as a booster vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In addition, GEO-CM04S1 is in a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the vaccine as a more robust, durable COVID-19 booster among healthy patients who previously received the mRNA vaccines. GeoVax has a leadership team who have driven significant value creation across multiple life science companies over the past several decades.

GeoVax Starts The Year By Announcing Phase 2 Trial For Gedeptin. GeoVax has announced that a Phase 2 trial for Gedeptin, its gene therapy for delivering cytotoxic cancer drugs, is planned to start in 1H25. As we expected, the trial will test Gedeptin with a checkpoint inhibitor in patients with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).
Gedeptin Delivers A Gene To Activate The Cancer Drug In The Tumor. Gedeptin is based on the Gene-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy (GDEPT) technology platform. It uses an adenovirus vector to deliver the E. coli PNP gene to cancer cells. Once inside the cells, the gene produces an enzyme that converts an inactive prodrug (fludarabine) into an active cytotoxic drug. This increases the drug’s potency inside the cancer cells while avoiding healthy tissue. Gedeptin has completed Phase 1/2 trials in advanced head and neck cancer and has been granted Orphan Drug Designation for oral and pharyngeal cancers.

Commercial expansion. On January 15th, the company announced that it will begin supplying its products to real estate developer Jeremiah Baron Companies. The developer has mixed-use residential and commercial projects underway in Florida. The partnership is expected to encompass approximately 1,000 units, which we believe equates to roughly 30,000 receptacles.
Seeding for the future. The company will initially supply receptacles to the developer, followed by plug-in products in the later stages of development, such as chandeliers, ceiling fans, and others. Importantly, the company’s fixtures, which plug into the receptacles, sell at higher prices. As such, we expect initial revenue impacts from the partnership to be modest, followed by a more meaningful impact when the units are ready for the installation of plug-in products. We anticipate that the development of the mixed-use project will extend into 2026.

New Business Wins. NN reported full-year 2024 new business wins of $73 million, exceeding the high end of the Company’s guidance. This is the second consecutive year of record annualized new business wins, up from the previous record of $63 million in 2023. The new wins were in key focus areas such as vehicle control, energy efficiency, electrical grid components, and medical components.
Driving to the Five-Year Goal. With another record year of new business wins, NN remains on track to meet its five-year goal of $325 million in new business wins, which will, in turn, be a key driver in the Company’s organic growth to $600 million in sales. Notably, we expect management to also seek inorganic growth opportunities, especially in the medical and electrical segments, to drive the five-year revenue goal even higher.

Recent weak stock performance. The SGA shares are down roughly 24% over the past six months and nearly 50% over the past year to near current levels. The performance is in line with its peer group, which is down approximately 45% over the past year. We believe that investors have thrown the baby out with the bath water, given that SGA has virtually no debt, unlike its highly debt levered peers, and has better revenue and cash flow growth potential.
Increased stake. Given the recent stock performance, Gate City Capital Management, LLC, a micro-cap focused investment firm, announced on January 8 that it nearly doubled its position during December 2024. Gate City Capital Management, LLC now owns 863,845 shares or approximately 13.8% of the total outstanding shares.

Special meeting of stockholders. Comstock will host a virtual special meeting of stockholders on February 14 at 9:00 a.m. PT. Stockholders of record, as of January 2, are asked to vote to authorize a reverse stock split of the company’s issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio ranging from one-for-five to one-for-twenty, with the timing and ratio to be determined by the Board. There will be no reduction or change to Comstock’s 245,000,000 authorized share count. The primary goal of the reverse split is to increase the number of shares available for issuance should the company need to raise additional capital.
Convertible promissory note financing. Comstock recently executed a 6.0% convertible promissory note agreement with a principal amount of $10,638,298 to Kips Bay Select, LP. The note is due on April 10, 2026. On the initial closing date, Kips Bay will fund $5,000,000 which will result in an aggregate principal amount of $5,319,149, including the original issue discount. Following and contingent on the reverse split, Comstock could receive additional funding of $5,000,000 in a second tranche, likely next month, on the same terms. Kips Bay could also receive restricted shares equal to 2% of the principal amount of the convertible note and registered shares equal to 3% of the principal amount.
