Expands Exclusive License Rights to Asia and Africa

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA – FEBRUARY 20, 2025 – Comstock Inc. (NYSE American: LODE) today announced that its subsidiary, Comstock Fuels Corporation (“Comstock Fuels”), executed an amendment to its exclusive license agreement with RenFuel K2B AB (“RenFuel”) for use of RenFuel’s patented catalytic esterification process to refine Comstock Fuels’ proprietary BioleumTM biointermediates.

The amendment expanded the territory from North America, Central America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and Vietnam to include all of Asia and Africa to facilitate ongoing project development by licensees of Comstock Fuels’ broader lignocellulosic biomass refining process.

Johan Löchen, RenFuel’s chief executive officer, stated, “Comstock and its licensees are making great and rapid progress developing sites for construction of demonstration and commercial scale facilities based on Comstock’s Bioleum refining process, including RenFuel’s patent catalytic esterification process. Our partnership with Comstock has been productive in many ways and we are pleased with the rapid progress and the mutual benefits of expanding the scope of our collaboration and our license.”

David Winsness, Comstock Fuels’ president, added, “Our patented and patent-pending technologies integrate proven systems from multiple industries in new ways to create a new class of petroleum refinery – a Bioleum Refinery, to refine abundant woody biomass into renewable fuels at market-leading yields and profitability. The RenFuel process is a key enabling step in that integration and we continue to be excited to work with the RenFuel team on our combined commercialization efforts.”

About Comstock Fuels Corporation

Comstock Fuels Corporation (“Comstock Fuels”) delivers advanced lignocellulosic biomass refining solutions that set industry benchmarks for production of cellulosic ethanol, gasoline, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”), and other renewable Bioleum™ fuels, with extremely low carbon intensity scores of 15 and market-leading yields of up to 140 gallons per dry metric ton of feedstock (on a gasoline gallon equivalent basis, or “GGE”), depending on feedstock, site conditions, and other process parameters. Comstock Fuels additionally holds the exclusive rights to intellectual properties developed by Hexas Biomass Inc. (“Hexas”) for production of purpose grown energy crops in liquid fuels applications with proven yields exceeding 25 to 30 dry metric tons per acre per year. The combination of Comstock Fuels’ high yield Bioleum refining platform and Hexas’ high yield energy crops allows for the production of enough feedstock to produce upwards of 100 barrels of fuel per acre per year, effectively transforming marginal agricultural lands with regenerative practices into perpetual “drop-in sedimentary oilfields” with the potential to dramatically boost regional energy security and rural economies.

Comstock Fuels plans to contribute to domestic energy dominance by directly building, owning, and operating a network of Bioleum Refineries in the U.S. to produce about 200 million barrels of renewable fuel per year by 2035, starting with its planned first 400,000 barrel per year commercial demonstration facility in Oklahoma. Comstock Fuels also licenses its advanced feedstock and refining solutions to third parties for additional production in the U.S. and global markets, including several recently announced and other pending projects.

Tuesday, February 18, 2025

Comstock (NYSE: LODE) innovates technologies that contribute to global decarbonization and circularity by efficiently converting under-utilized natural resources into renewable fuels and electrification products that contribute to balancing global uses and emissions of carbon. The Company intends to achieve exponential growth and extraordinary financial, natural, and social gains by building, owning, and operating a fleet of advanced carbon neutral extraction and refining facilities, by selling an array of complimentary process solutions and related services, and by licensing selected technologies to qualified strategic partners.

Reverse split. Following shareholder approval on February 14, Comstock Inc. announced a reverse split of its common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10, resulting in ~23,767,578 shares outstanding. The reverse split, effective on February 24, will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the company except to the extent that it results in a shareowner owning a fractional share. Fractional shares resulting from the reverse split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Comstock’s authorized number of shares of common stock remains 245,000,000. LODE shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on February 25.

Greater financial flexibility. The reverse split will increase the number of shares available for issuance should the company need to raise additional capital. We think the company is making significant progress toward commercializing its Comstock Metals and Comstock Fuels businesses. Key elements are coming together for Comstock Fuels to secure project financing to build its first commercial demonstration facility. Comstock Metals currently operates a commercial demonstration facility in Silver Springs, Nevada, and is working toward an industry-scale expansion that will position the company to serve the rapidly expanding solar industry in the western United States.

Pending transaction with SBC Commerce. Comstock recently executed an indicative term sheet for $325 million, or $315 million net of transaction fees, in funding through SBC Commerce LLC (SBCC), a U.S. based private equity group. The transaction is contingent on final due diligence and applicable regulatory approvals and is expected to close in tranches over the next several months. When the transaction was announced, it contemplated SBCC taking equity ownership positions in each business unit commensurate with the amount of its investment. Increasingly, it appears that a portion of the transactions could include debt which could have implications for our valuation which is currently based on the terms summarized in the original release. 

Third quarter 2024 achievements. Comstock achieved significant milestones during the third quarter, including executing an exclusive license and cooperative research and development agreement with the Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, executing an international license agreement for three industry scale fuel hubs, recording first revenues from the sale of recycled aluminum and announcing new contracts with new customers for the decommissioning and disposal of solar panels.

Laying the groundwork for a successful moonshot. Comstock IP Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary, executed an Exclusive License Agreement (ELA) and Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, the managing and operating contractor of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The agreements provide access to technologies developed by NREL and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to convert lignocellulosic biomass into aromatic sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The goal is to produce the world’s first 100% renewable SAF at costs approaching parity with fossil fuels by integrating Comstock and NREL technologies.

Cooperative Research and Development Agreement. Terms include a three-year scope of work to jointly develop an integrated process based on Comstock and NREL processes and technologies to refine woody biomass into aromatic SAF and other renewable fuels. Comstock will fund the research and contribute staff, equipment, and use of its pilot facility in Wisconsin. The CRADA is expected to result in the construction of a pre-commercial pilot system to affirm requirements needed to scale-up and incorporate the resulting process into Comstock’s planned 50,000 metric ton per year commercial demonstration facility.

Deinstallation services. In direct response to customer needs, Comstock Metals now provides and manages deinstallation services for customers. Comstock Metals receives a tipping fee for the receipt and storage of end-of-life solar panels and now may receive additional fees for decommissioning and transporting the panels in addition to revenue earned from the recovery of high value minerals and metals from the recycled panels. The company has completed several deinstallations with several others being negotiated or under bid.

Well positioned to grow the customer base. We think the expansion of the company’s product suite to include decommissioning services better positions the company to more rapidly win new business from a broader range of customers. Comstock Metals coordinates and enables the decommissioning of the end-of-life panels from their customer facilities and coordinates the transportation of these panels to Comstock’s facility in Silver Springs where the materials will be processed and recycled. Comstock is engaged with various, nationally recognized commercial customers to decommission, transport, and process end-of-life solar panels installed at their facilities.

Proposed transaction with SBC Commerce. Comstock executed an indicative term sheet for $325 million, or $315 million net of transaction fees, in funding through SBC Commerce LLC (SBCC), a U.S. based private equity group. The transaction is contingent on final due diligence and applicable regulatory approvals and is expected to close in tranches over the next two to three months. At this point, we assume the transaction will close successfully within the contemplated time frame.

Infusion of growth capital to accelerate commercialization. The transaction provides a clear valuation marker for each of the company’s fuels, metals, and mining businesses and secures growth capital to accelerate commercialization efforts. SBCC will acquire Comstock’s industrial and commercial real estate and water rights in Nevada for $50 million, or $47 million net of transaction expenses.
