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.

UPLODE 2024. Comstock Inc. recently hosted its UPLODE24 investor webinar which provided an opportunity to hear directly from business leaders associated with Comstock’s business units, along with Quantum Generative Materials (GenMat). More broadly, the event underscored Comstock Inc.’s unique approach to drive innovation to improve business outcomes and accelerate the commercialization of decarbonization technologies.

Key catalysts in 2024. Investors can look forward to an eventful year in 2024 as Comstock Metals commissions its material recovery facility and begins generating cash flow, along with expanding its supplier commitments. We expect Comstock Fuels will move closer to commercialization as it executes commercial agreements for joint development projects and expands, integrates, and commissions a continuous bio-intermediate production system to produce cellulosic ethanol and hydro-deoxygenated bioleum oil. Additionally, external venture capital funding for Quantum Generative Materials could put a spotlight on the value of Comstock’s investment. Lastly, disposition of Comstock’s remaining Green Li-ion preferred shares and properties in Silver Springs, Nevada could provide proceeds of up to $60 million that could significantly enhance the company’s financial flexibility.

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.

Supply contracts secured. Comstock Metals has secured enough end-of-life solar panel supplier commitments to begin commissioning its first demonstration photovoltaic (PV) recycling facility upon receipt of required permits. Comstock Metals is negotiating agreements with major customers for industry-scale supply agreements. Comstock’s technology and renewable solutions provide a better alternative to land fill disposition of these materials. Comstock’s solution ensures safe deconstruction, decontamination, separation, and productive reuse of metals contained in end-of-life photovoltaic materials.

Demonstration PV recycling system. Comstock Metals is readying a demonstration facility that commercializes technologies for efficiently crushing, conditioning, extracting, and recycling metal and mineral concentrates from photovoltaics and other electronic devices. Comstock Metals previously received a storage permit and expects to receive the remaining air quality and solid waste permits shortly and expects to begin receiving, commissioning, and then processing the end-of-life panels in early 2024. Because Comstock Metals will likely receive a tipping 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.

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.
