Shareholder update. In a letter to shareholders, Comstock provided additional details regarding how the company expects to finance its growth initiatives across its business segments. Comstock intends to minimize the issuance of equity by using alternative sources of funding at the subsidiary level. Additionally, Comstock expects to commence sales of its real estate holdings in Silver Springs, Nevada and its interest in the Sierra Springs Opportunity Fund in the coming months. Proceeds from the asset sales will fund, among other things, advancing mine development plans for the company’s Dayton-Spring Valley resource areas.

Comstock Metals. Comstock intends to secure debt and equity capital at the subsidiary level to fund the construction of Comstock Metals’ first two industry-scale facilities. Discussions are ongoing with multiple counterparties interested in participating in primarily debt financing with agreements expected in the third quarter of 2024. Comstock Metals recently commissioned its first demonstration-scale photovoltaic recycling facility in Silver Springs, Nevada, secured revenue generating contracts, and began receiving end-of-life solar panels.

Amending agreements with RenFuel. Comstock Inc. is amending agreements with RenFuel K2B AB pertaining to the development of RenFuel’s planned biorefinery project at a pulp and paper mill in Sweden. RenFuel is liquidating a subsidiary originally formed to administer its previously planned Swedish biorefinery as part of a joint venture with Preem. While not having any impact on Comstock other than Comstock declining its option to enter the joint venture, the amendments are expected to broaden the scope of Comstock’s partnership with RenFuel in Europe.

A powerful combination. Comstock utilizes RenFuel’s patented catalytic esterification technology to refine its proprietary Bioleum derivatives into hydro-deoxygenated bioleum oil (HBO). Advanced biofuel refineries use HBO for blending with, diversifying, and extending conventional hydro-processed fat, oil, and grease feedstocks to produce sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel fuel. Comstock holds the exclusive license to RenFuel’s refining technologies in North America, Central America, and South America.

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Rating changed to a Market Perform. We have lowered our investment rating to Market Perform from Outperform pending significant improvement in the company’s liquidity position and a visible path toward net income and cash flow growth from operations. Outside of its mining assets, the company operates much as a start-up within its Fuels and Metals businesses. We think those segments may require significant capital investment and we would like to see a clearer funding path. Additionally, we would like more details such as the components that drive the economics of the business models for each segment (i.e. terms of licensing agreements, royalties, and fees for engineering services).

First quarter 2024 achievements. Comstock achieved significant milestones during the first quarter, including securing all required operating permits and the commencement of production at its photovoltaic recycling facility in Nevada. Comstock Fuels commenced sample production of commercially available hydro-deoxygenated bioleum oil (HBO) and executed agreements for up to a $3 million investment in RenFuel K2B AB. Lastly, Comstock Mining updated its internal Dayton-Spring Valley economic assessment and expects to complete a mine plan by year-end 2024.

First quarter 2024 perception report. RB Milestone, Comstock’s investor relations firm, released its first quarter 2024 stakeholder perception report which provides insight into Comstock’s operational milestones and strengths and weaknesses as perceived by stakeholders. The accompanying presentation highlighted the achievement of significant company milestones, notably in its Metals and Fuels segments. An underreported point made during the presentation is that Comstock has approximately $225 million of net operating loss tax carry-forward that may be used to offset gains from sales of non-core assets and future profits.

Growing customer commitments. During the first quarter, Comstock Metals received all permits for its solar panel recycling facility and began commissioning the plant. Comstock Metals has received over 60 tons of end-of-life solar panels for which it has received cash and expects to begin recognizing revenue in the second quarter as the panels are processed. Supplier commitments have exceeded expectations and Comstock is preparing permits for its first industry-scale facility.

Receipt of Final Permit. Comstock Metals received conditional approval from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection for the processing of waste solar panels and photovoltaics in its new materials recovery facility in Silver Springs, Nevada. With the receipt of all required permits, Comstock Metals may now complete the installation of the process equipment, and test, commission, and start up the material recovery facility. The facility includes proprietary technologies for efficiently crushing, conditioning, extracting, and recycling metal concentrates from photovoltaics.

Supplier Commitments. Comstock Metals is receiving waste panels for processing and has commenced commissioning activities. Comstock Metals continues to secure supplier commitments and is experiencing greater than initially expected inquiries from many different sources of waste panels. Decommissioning end-of-life solar panels is accelerating in the southwest region of the United States where solar panels were adopted early. Because Comstock Metals will receive an upfront disposal fee for handling the end-of-life solar panels, Comstock Metals could begin generating cash flow with revenue recognized once the waste is processed and recycled.

Comstock Inc. (LODE) – Innovating Leading Technologies for a Low Carbon Future

Market leading yields coupled with low carbon intensities. Comstock recently achieved two significant milestones within its cellulosic fuels business. These include biofuel production yields of more than 100 gallons per dry tonne of woody biomass on a gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) basis and market-leading low carbon intensity (CI) scores of 16 or below for cellulosic ethanol and 15 for the company’s proprietary hydro-deoxygenated Bioleum oil (HBO). The CI score is measured in grams of carbon dioxide equivalent per megajoule of energy.

Differentiation provides a key competitive advantage. HBO is a proprietary drop-in bio-intermediate used in the production of sustainable aviation and renewable diesel fuels. It increases the diversity of hydro-processed, fat-based feedstock and significantly reduces carbon intensity scores from what is currently commercially achievable. For example, the carbon intensity of fossil fuels is industry-benchmarked between 80 and 95. Moreover, yields of over 100 GGE exceed the U.S. Department of Energy’s production goals of less than 75 GGE per tonne. While the higher yields are a key selling point in that they surpass existing cellulosic-derived biofuel production yields, leading biofuel refiners have indicated that lower CI scores are what significantly reduce the carbon footprint of their overall portfolios.
