Rating Lowered to Market Perform. While we had upgraded Comstock Inc. to Outperform on November 4, we have concluded our rating upgrade may have been too early, despite the share price appreciating ~33% from the date of our upgrade. It appears the company’s near-term capital needs remain significant, and we will reassess the value of the company’s businesses, once Comstock’s commercial scale recycling facility is operational and plans for the company’s mining assets are more fully realized. Moreover, we have been frustrated by the company’s promises to monetize non-core assets, including properties in Silver Springs, Nevada, without following through on its commitment. At this stage, we consider Comstock’s investment in Bioleum Corporation as a call option on its growth and success, which is subject to significant risk factors.

At the market offering. Comstock Inc. recently executed an At-the-Market Offering Agreement with Titan Partners Group LLC to offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time totaling up to $100.0 million. Titan Partners will be compensated at a commission rate equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share. Net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures associated with commercializing subsequent industry scale and storage facilities for Comstock Metals, in addition to acquisitions, and technical, operational and human resource development expenses for supporting growth. Beyond acting as a headwind for capital appreciation, the ATM equity issuance could promote shareholder dilution.
