Research News and Market Data on LODE

VIRGINIA CITY, NEVADA, March 25, 2025 – Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock,” “our” and the “Company”), today announced the timely completion of two successful settlements of prior outstanding strategic commitments. These commitments originated from prior acquisitions of foundational assets and intellectual property that have been instrumental in advancing Comstock’s renewable fuels and metals businesses. Comstock has eliminated regular cash payments and reinforced its financial position to support the Company’s long-term commercialization strategy.

“Both of these equity-based settlements were with the original founders and resulted in material, restructured savings, enhanced liquidity and increased financial flexibility,” said Corrado De Gasperis, Comstock’s Executive Chairman and CEO. “We are grateful to the founders, their innovations, partnering, flexibility, and confidence in our equity and its value.”

The settlements align with Comstock’s ongoing efforts to simplify and strengthen its balance sheet, enhance liquidity, and position its differentiated technology and businesses for rapid, scalable, and long-term growth. With the metals segment achieving full operational status and remarkable, real-time revenue growth and the fuels segment securing multiple commercial, operational and jurisdictional support agreements, and direct strategic investments, both businesses remain focused on driving continued revenue generation and expanding their globally relevant network of supply chain partners.

Release – Comstock Fuels Completes Financing with Marathon Petroleum

Posted on by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Research News and Market Data on LODE

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA – FEBRUARY 28, 2025 – Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) today announced a new investment and strategic collaboration with Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: MPC) to advance its lignocellulosic biomass refining solutions to commercial maturity. Comstock Fuels Corporation (“Comstock Fuels”), a subsidiary of Comstock Inc., has entered into a series of definitive agreements with subsidiaries of Marathon Petroleum Corporation (“Marathon”), involving the purchase of $14,000,000 in Comstock Fuels equity (“Investment”).

The Investment includes $1,000,000 in cash and $13,000,000 in payment-in-kind assets (“Payment-In-Kind Assets”) by Marathon, comprised of equipment, related intellectual properties, and other materials located at a Marathon renewable fuel demonstration facility in Madison, Wisconsin (“Madison Facility”). Comstock Fuels will use the Madison Facility to increase Comstock Fuels’ current pilot production capabilities in Wausau, Wisconsin.

Comstock Fuels’ advanced lignocellulosic biomass refining solutions are designed to align with oil producers by converting massive supplies of historically inaccessible biomass feedstock into “drop-in” hydrocarbon fuels for use in existing petroleum-based infrastructure.

Most current forms of renewable fuel draw from the same pool of conventional feedstocks, including corn, soy and various vegetable oils in the U.S., and the entire universe of those feedstocks only represents a tiny fraction of the domestic fuel demand. In contrast, the U.S. Department of Energy has previously estimated that America can produce upwards of one billion tons per year of biomass for conversion into fuel. That’s enough untapped feedstock to produce more than 3 billion barrels of fuel per year with Comstock Fuels’ refining solutions.

“We’re excited to collaborate with Marathon’s team as we work to integrate the Madison Facility and advance our unique renewable fuels technology to commercial maturity,” said Kevin Kreisler, Comstock Fuels’ chief technology officer.

The transaction documents included Comstock Fuels’ board observation rights for Marathon and reiterated the parties’ commitment to finalize an offtake agreement, joint development agreement, and warrant agreement on or before May 31, 2025.

Additional information on the transaction documents is available online in Comstock’s February 28, 2025, Current Report on Form 8-K.

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.

Release – Comstock Inc Announces Reverse Stock Split

Posted on by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Research News and Market Data on LODE

VIRGINIA CITY, Nevada, February 14, 2025 — Comstock Inc. (“Comstock”) (NYSE American: LODE), a leading innovator of renewable energy-enabling technologies that contribute to energy abundance by efficiently extracting and converting under-utilized natural resources today announced a reverse split of its common stock, $0.000666 par value (“Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-10 (the “Reverse Split”), effective February 24, 2025, and that the Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on February 25, 2025, resulting in approximately 23,767,578 shares outstanding.

Under Nevada law, because the Reverse Split was approved by the shareholders of the Company on February 14, 2025, and in accordance with NRS Section 78.2055, the Company may effect the Reverse Split without correspondingly decreasing the number of authorized shares. As described herein, the Company has complied with these requirements. Comstock’s authorized number of shares of Common Stock remains unchanged at 245,000,000. The Common Stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the trading symbol “LODE” but will trade under the new CUSIP number 205750409.

“The growth opportunities for both Fuels and Metals have developed well beyond our original expectations, and we have attracted some of the most sophisticated partners, for feedstocks, technologies, operations, governments, and refining and offtake, with many now evaluating direct investments, and in multiple cases exploring deeper and more meaningful integrations with our system” stated Corrado De Gasperis, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “With this extraordinarily strong supporting vote, our existing shareholders have overwhelmingly supported our plans for effectively and responsibly capitalizing on our immediate opportunities and sharing in the potential for creating two unprecedented companies that turn the image of an oil well that never stops producing and a silver mine that never stops producing, into our new reality. It is just getting started.”

The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued shares of the Company’s common stock from approximately 237,675,779 shares to approximately 23,767,578 shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of the Comstock’s common stock issuable under its equity compensation plans and upon exercise or conversion of outstanding warrants, as well as the applicable exercise prices. Stockholders whose shares are held in brokerage accounts should direct any questions concerning the reverse stock split to their broker.

The Company’s transfer agent, EQ Equiniti, will provide instructions to stockholders regarding the process for exchanging certificated shares. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split as any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. All stockholders of record may direct questions to the Company’s transfer agent, EQ Equiniti toll-free at 1-866-877-6270.

The Company will file the final tabulation of the special meeting proposal on Form 8-K on February 18, 2025.

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.

Release – Comstock Fuels and Gresham’s Eastern Execute Definitive Agreement

Posted on by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Research News and Market Data on LODE

Finalizes Commercial Licensing Agreement in Pakistan for SAF and Other Renewable Fuels

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA – FEBRUARY 13, 2025 – Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) today announced the execution of a definitive master license agreement between Comstock Fuels Corporation (“Comstock Fuels”) and Gresham’s Eastern (Pvt) Ltd (“Gresham’s”), a leading sustainable energy engineering, equipment and construction company based in Pakistan, under which Comstock Fuels granted Gresham’s a license to develop and manage facilities based on Comstock Fuels’ advanced lignocellulosic biomass refining processes in Pakistan.

Gresham’s plans to initially develop a commercial demonstration facility in Lahore, Pakistan, capable of initially processing 75,000 metric tons of biomass annually, marking Comstock Fuels’ fifth licensed refinery project under contract. The Lahore facility will be designed to generate the prerequisite operational and economic data for scaling up to a 1,000,000 metric tons per year (“MTPY”) commercial facility, aligning with the rapidly growing global market demand for increased production of sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”). Gresham’s ultimately plans to develop several similar facilities to use abundant, locally available agricultural and forestry residuals, as well as sustainably grown energy crops with the potential to unlock billions of dollars in exports while positioning Gresham’s as a leading contributor toward Pakistan’s commitment to producing 60% renewable energy by 2030.

Mian Suhail Husain, CEO of Gresham’s, commented, “We are focused on deploying truly scalable and sustainable energy solutions in Pakistan. We are on the doorstep of a globally significant opportunity where our combined competencies can generate significant economic growth for our nation and communities alike.” 

Pakistan’s abundant biomass resources provide an ideal foundation for developing a robust renewable fuel production ecosystem that prioritizes fulfilling regional demand while targeting export markets across the Middle East and North Africa (“MENA”). Pakistan produces about 100 million metric tons of agricultural residue biomass per year, or enough to produce about 14 billion gallons of renewable fuels per year at Comstock Fuels’ proven yields of up to 140 gallons per dry metric ton on a gasoline gallon equivalent basis (“GGE”), depending on the feedstock, site conditions, and other process parameters.

“Gresham’s is well positioned to make a transformative contribution to Pakistan’s economic development and sustainable energy objectives,” stated David Winsness, President of Comstock Fuels. “This partnership showcases the quality and speed of global adoption of our industry-leading solution, and we’re excited to get started in Lahore and well beyond.”

Under the agreement, Gresham’s will lead the development, financing, construction, and management of facilities based on Comstock Fuels’ proprietary Bioleum refining technologies. Each Bioleum Refinery will operate under a site-specific license agreement to ensure compliance with Comstock Fuels’ performance and quality standards. Comstock Fuels will contribute site specific technology rights in exchange for a 20% equity stake in each Bioleum Refinery, a 6% royalty fee on each refinery’s product revenues, and a 6% engineering fee equal to total capital and construction costs. The agreement additionally granted Gresham’s the exclusive right to market projects based on Comstock Fuels’ technologies in Pakistan, subject to satisfaction of a series of commercialization milestones, including financing, construction, and commissioning of Gresham’s planned Lahore facility and multiple subsequent commercial facilities.

About Gresham’s Eastern (Pvt) Ltd.

For the better part of six decades, Gresham’s name has been synonymous with Quality and Innovation. Today, Pakistan-based Gresham’s is a premier project developer, engineering, equipment fabricator and construction company focused on deploying technology-leading, sustainable energy solutions and initiatives across Pakistan.

The Oklahoma Development Finance Authority (“ODFA”) sponsored this bond allocation to support the State’s essential infrastructure projects with Comstock’s first Oklahoma commercial biorefining facility.

“This allocation is a foundational component of our overall capital and financing plans for Comstock Fuels, including funding each of our planned Bioleum™ Refineries in the U.S. with dedicated project financing,” said Chad Michael Black, Director of Business Development at Comstock Fuels. “Oklahoma has taken a leadership role in accelerating advanced domestic energy solutions and the support from the State Treasurer’s Office and the ODFA underscores our strong alignment with Oklahoma for developing, deploying and operating diverse, scalable and essential energy infrastructure for our communities.”

“We are rapidly achieving the critical prerequisites for securing the project financing needed to build our first commercial demonstration facility, with over $150 million of that objective supported by Oklahoma’s tax-efficient, municipal revenue bond allocation, $3 million in direct Oklahoma-based grants, and a growing group of strategic investors,” stated Corrado De Gasperis, Executive Chairman of Comstock and Comstock Fuels. “We’re also close to selecting an investment banking partner to facilitate the bond placement and underwriting. We’re thrilled to receive such strong support from Oklahoma as we integrate feedstock, site infrastructure, and offtake into a whole new standard for domestic energy production.”

Private activity bonds under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) are described generally as any bond: (1) of which more than 10% of the proceeds is to be used in a trade or business of any person or persons other than a governmental unit or which is to be directly or indirectly repaid, or secured by revenues from a private trade or business; and (2) in which an amount exceeding the lesser of 5% or $5 million of the proceeds is to be used for loans to any person or persons other than a governmental unit.

The Federal Tax Reform Act of 1986 established limits on the volume of private activity bonds that may be issued in a state during any calendar year. To ensure compliance with federal law, the Oklahoma legislature passed the Oklahoma Private Activity Bond Allocation Act.

Most private activity bonds must be sold on a taxable basis. However, the Code grants exceptions when certain bonds can be sold on a tax-exempt basis (“Qualified Private Activity Bonds”). Such bonds, with certain exceptions, are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Code also imposes a limitation on the amount of Qualified Private Activity Bonds which may be issued by a state in any calendar year.

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.
