Comstock Amends Agreement With Mackay Precious Metals Inc.
VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) ('Comstock' and the 'Company') today announced it has amended the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the 'MIPA') to sell 100% of the northernmost patented and unpatented mining claims, mineral exploration rights and town lots (the 'Northern Targets') owned by Comstock's wholly-owned subsidiary Comstock Northern Exploration, LLC, plus all of the 25% issued and outstanding membership interest that Comstock owns in Pelen LLC ('Pelen') to Mackay Precious Metals Inc. ('Mackay') for an increased aggregate purchase price of $2.95 million (the 'Purchase Price') and a 1.5% NSR production royalty from the sales of all valuable minerals and products extracted from these properties. The Amendment increases the purchase price to $2.95 million in cash from the previous $2.75 million in both cash and stock, effectively increasing the cash component of the transaction by $1.2 million. The Company has previously received $1.0 million in cash for this transaction. The remaining $1.95 million is due through a series of payments in June, July and ending on or before August 30, 2025. The Amendment also includes a provision that Mackay will transfer approximately 300 acres of patented and unpatented mining properties in Lyon County, that are adjacent to and expand the footprint of Comstock's Dayton Consolidated and Spring Valley mineral claims and lands, for no additional consideration. On June 30, 2023, Comstock executed a Mineral Exploration and Mining Lease Agreement ('Mackay Lease') with Mackay. The Mackay Lease was terminated on December 18, 2024, in favor of the MIPA. Since June 30, 2023, Comstock has recognized revenue of $3.77 million in initial and ongoing lease payments and reimbursed expenses and will receive the final $0.25 million in cash from these revenues this week. The $3.77 million in total lease revenue is in addition to the $2.95 million sale price. The Northern Targets encompass both the Gold Hill and Occidental Lode claim groups in Storey County, Nevada. Pelen owns certain claims adjacent to and/or relevant to these northern claim groups. 'Our Northern Targets were never an effective part of our district-wide development plans, as we have prioritized the exploration and development of the central and southern part of the district. Realizing over $6.7 million in consideration from the previous lease and subsequent sale, plus an additional 300 acres in Lyon County, plus the retention of royalties in perpetuity, is extremely positive for Comstock,' said Corrado De Gasperis, Comstock's executive chairman and chief executive officer. 'The transaction is especially timely, as we activate bigger plans for advancing our S-K 1300 compliant Dayton and permitted Lucerne resources, and more aggressively expand our gold and silver resource potential and the plans for post productive uses of these industrial properties.' Comstock is committed to become a major U.S. silver producer from both the millions of ounces of resources already quantified in our technical reports and our ever-growing solar recycling silver resources.

(NYSE: LODE) innovates and commercializes technologies that are deployable across entire industries to contribute to energy abundance by efficiently extracting and converting under-utilized natural resources, such as waste and other forms of woody biomass into renewable fuels, and end-of-life electronics into recovered electrification metals.
