Comstock Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results and Corporate Updates

Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) ("Comstock," "our," and the "Company"), today announced its second quarter 2025 results, business updates and an updated 2025 business outlook.

Recent Corporate Liquidity and Capital Resources Events

  • Closed the initial $20 Million of Series A Investment and completed the separation of Fuels into Bioleum Corporation;
  • Raised $30 million in gross proceeds to fully fund and accelerate the commercialization of its R2v3/RIOS Responsible Recycling certified zero-landfill industry-scale solar panel recycling facilities, each capable of recycling over 3.3 million panels per year, and to eliminate debts and advance additional site selections and other key development initiatives;
  • Paid down outstanding promissory notes by issuing 2,900,000 common shares to an existing, leading shareholder that positions the elimination of $8,390,000 of debt obligations;
  • Entered a final payoff agreement with Kips Bay in full satisfaction of the Company's convertible note obligation;
  • Eliminated all liabilities associated with the previous acquisitions of AST (Fuels); Northern Comstock (Mining); Haywood mineral properties and quarry (Mining) and LINICO (Metals);
  • Proforma combined cash balance exceeded $45 million between Comstock and Bioleum's recent capital raises; and
  • Common shares outstanding on August 13, 2025, and August 14, 2025, was 35,930,913 and 49,264,247, respectively.

"The past five months have clarified the technological capabilities and leadership teams of two extraordinary companies, a Nevada-based renewable metals company and an Oklahoma-based renewable oil and gas company, that, remarkably, are now rapidly moving to deploy urban silver mines and sustainable oil fields and biorefineries that do not ever deplete or stop producing. In both instances now, multiple, sophisticated, strategic and financial investors have all made material investments in us," stated Corrado De Gasperis, Executive Chairman and CEO of Comstock Inc. "Everything is accelerating to industry-scale production."

Selected Segment Highlights for Comstock Metals

"Solar panel recycling is a win-win-win – good for consumers, the economy, and our planet," said Evelyn Butler, Vice President of Technical Services at the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). "We congratulate Comstock Metals on this achievement – one of our Preferred Recycling Partners – and we look forward to continuing this partnership for the benefit of the entire solar energy industry." Comstock Metals is the only certified R2v3/RIOS Responsible Recycling Standard by State Electronic Records Institute (SERI).

Comstock Metals

  • Recorded billings of $2.31 million ($1.1 million was deferred) in first half of 2025, versus nil in the first half of 2024;
  • Certified to the R2v3/RIOS Responsible Recycling Standard by SERI, authenticating the first zero-waste recycling process that safely repurposes all the recycled solar panel materials into new commercial applications.
  • Entered into a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with RWE Clean Energy ("RWE"), serving as a preferred, strategic partner for the end-of-life recycling, disposal, and decommissioning services for RWE's solar installations;
  • Received well over 4 million pounds of end-of-life solar materials from RWE in the first half of 2025;
  • Commenced operating three shifts and expanded the dedicated team to 20 full time employees;
  • Received an additional county permit for expanded storage in the immediate proximity of the processing facilities;
  • Secured additional intake (tipping) revenue arrangements across the U.S., including industry leading customers; and
  • Finalized industry-scale equipment design and ordered the purchase of all equipment for delivery in Q4 2025.

"Comstock Metals has continued growing stronger than ever. Comstock Metals became the first company in North America to earn the stringent R2v3 and RIOS certifications for zero-waste solar panel recycling," said Comstock Metals President, Dr. Fortunato Villamagna. "This groundbreaking certification validates that our recycling facility and processes meet the highest global standards for safety, environmental stewardship, and total waste elimination. In fact, under the R2v3/RIOS standard (including the specialized Appendix G), we demonstrated a 100% landfill-free recycling process. Every component of an end-of-life solar panel (glass, aluminum, semiconductor fines, and other metals) is fully reclaimed and repurposed into new raw materials. The capital we just raised allowed us to order and place deposits down on the equipment today. We wasted no time."

Selected Segment Highlights for Comstock Mining

  • Closed on the sale and monetization of the northern district claims for approximately $3 million in proceeds;
  • Increased both Comstock economic mineralized material estimates based on significantly higher gold and silver prices;
  • Developed actionable plans for expanding and upgrading the Dayton resource into proven and probable reserves; and
  • Assessed productive post-mining land uses and identified prerequisites for post-mining development.

"The rapidly rising industrial silver demand and ongoing geopolitical concerns, compounded by decades of questionable monetary policy, created an unprecedented runup in gold and a possibly greater set up for silver prices over the next several years. Our historic, world-class Nevada mining assets are well positioned for expansion and monetization with sophisticated strategic and financial partners," said Comstock's Chief Financial Officer and Comstock Mining President, Mr. Judd Merrill.

Selected Highlights for Bioleum Corporation ("Bioleum")

  • Closed on a strategic Series A investment from subsidiaries of Marathon Petroleum Corp. ("MPC") and completed an initial $20 Series A preferred equity financing;
  • Secured the first site and advanced site-specific engineering for the first planned Oklahoma-based Bioleum refinery;
  • Qualified for the second $1 million of the $3 million in incentive awards from Oklahoma's Quick Action Closing Fund;
  • Secured a $152 million allocation of Qualified Private Activity Bonds from Oklahoma's State Treasurer's Office;
  • Acquired and restarted Madison, Wisconsin pilot facility, and commenced integration of the Madison team;
  • Hired exceptional, biofuel industry veterans to expand and accelerate development;
  • Advanced a Series A preferred equity financing offering with an expanding group of strategic investors; and
  • Advanced research and development with NREL combined applications of Bioleum's and NREL's breakthrough process for producing sustainable aviation fuel ("SAF") from lignin that is functionally identical to petroleum jet fuel.

"We have developed an unprecedented, versatile, and exceptionally high-yield, ultra-low-carbon biofuel platform that integrates waste streams and purpose-grown crops to produce up to 200 million barrels — about 8 billion gallons — of sustainable fuel annually by 2035," said Kevin Kreisler, newly appointed CEO of Bioleum Corporation. "Our proven commercial process converts wasted and unused woody biomass byproducts into renewable fuels and, when combined with dedicated energy crops, creates an efficient, scalable network of ‘endless oil wells' hidden in plain sight."

Bioleum Separation Completed: A Bold New Chapter

"We have officially separated and contributed the assets that formerly comprised Comstock's fuels segment into Bioleum, a newly formed company dedicated to accelerating and maximizing the production and use of lignocellulosic biomass derived fuels – or Bioleum™ –and attracting the necessary capitalization to do so, stated Mr. De Gasperis. "We expect that before the end of this year, Bioleum will also be fully deconsolidated from Comstock's consolidated financial statements and will have stand-alone, audited Bioleum Corporation financial statements. Bioleum's formation marks the next chapter in this rapid evolution – one where our renewable fuels platform can accelerate under its own banner with singular focus and clarity with the ultimate objective of also becoming a publicly traded company."

Comstock now owns $65 million face value convertible preferred stock in Bioleum, convertible into 32.5 million common shares, positioning an exceptional value potential for Comstock's shareholders and preserving Comstock's ability to accelerate the growth and delivery of that value directly to Comstock's shareholders, ultimately through a public offering.

Outlook: Commercialization and Monetization

Corporate

The growth opportunities for both Comstock Metals and Bioleum have developed well beyond our original plans, and we have attracted some of the most sophisticated partners for investment, feedstock, technology, operations, and offtake, with many now evaluating or having already direct investments and that are exploring deeper integrations and strategic transactions.

The Company's Corporate objectives for the rest of 2025 include:

  • Monetize our legacy real estate and non-strategic investments for over $50 million;
  • Support the next phases of Metals growth; and
  • Finalize, communicate and implement plans to unlock maximum value from the separation of Bioleum.

This ultimately results in two high-growth companies: a renewable metals and mining company headquartered in Nevada, and a renewable fuels company headquartered in Oklahoma and with major operations already functioning in Wisconsin.

Comstock Metals

Comstock Metals has now been operating its first commercial demonstration facility for over 18 months and in November of 2024, submitted permits for the first industry-scale photovoltaic recycling facility. The industry-scale facilities are anticipated to ultimately operate at least 100,000 tons of annual capacity. Site selection activities are ongoing for the next two industry-scale facilities and associated storage sites. The Company plans to ultimately build up to 7 industry-scale U.S. based recycling facilities.

The Company's Metals objectives for the rest of 2025 include:

  • Expand local county storage capacity adjacent to our first industry-scale facility;
  • Complete permitting for our first industry-scale facility in Silver Springs, NV;
  • Procure, deploy, and assemble plant and equipment for our first industry-scale facility in Silver Springs, NV;
  • Secure additional Master Service Agreements (MSA) with national and regional customers;
  • Complete site selection and preliminary development for two additional solar panel recycling locations;
  • Expand the system globally with international strategic and capital partners; and
  • Advance and expand R&D efforts to recover more and higher-purity materials from recycled streams for offtake.

The capital expenditures for the first 100,000 tons of annual capacity for the first industry scale facility are expected to be approximately $12.0 million which includes expanded storage. In 2025, approximately $10.0 million of capital expenditures is required with additional up to $2.0 million, spent in early 2026. Billable revenues are expected to be eight times greater in 2025, as compared to 2024, or over $3.5 million, with proportionate future increases in 2026, as we scale up our first industry-scale facility. The Company has already ordered the equipment associated with the capital expenditures.

For the remainder of 2025, we plan on accelerating and increasing our lead in metals as our solar panel recycling systems rapidly expands market share nationally and we have now already placed our orders for the first industry-scale facility in Silver Springs, NV," concluded Mr. De Gasperis. "We are moving fast to deploy in the fourth quarter of 2025 and commission the facility in the first quarter of 2026, so that we can be operating and processing panels profitably in the second quarter of 2026."

Comstock Mining

Comstock Mining has amassed the single largest known repository of historical and current geological data within the Comstock mineral district, including extensive geophysical surveys, geological mapping, and drilling data, including the Dayton resource.

The Company's Mining objectives for 2025 include:

  • Receive cash proceeds of over $2.0 million from prior mineral leases and asset sales from the northern claims;
  • Commercialize agreements that either monetize or enable resource expansion of the central claims with others; and
  • Complete the preliminary mine plans that enable the economic development of the southern district claims.

The Company's 2025 efforts will apply economic analysis to Comstock's existing gold and silver resources progressing toward preliminary economic feasibility for the southern part of the district and the ultimate development of full mine and reclamation plans and the development of post productive land and community development plans.

Bioleum

Bioleum's biorefining technologies are commercially ready for deployment and offer growth-enabling performance. Bioleum is actively engaged in the planning and deployment of its first commercial demonstration facility and pursuing joint development and licensing agreements representing future revenue sources from technical and engineering services, royalties, and equity participation. These efforts include securing associated supply chain participants (including feedstock, site selection, engineering, construction and procurement, and offtake), performing preliminary and final engineering, and facilitating commissioning, construction, and operations, including with globally and locally recognized current and developing renewable fuels producers that, in certain cases, also represent a source of strategic capital for funding the projects.

Bioleum's objectives for the rest of 2025 include:

  • Complete separation of Bioleum as a separate, stand-alone, well-capitalized, renewable fuels focused on advancing delivery of hundreds of millions of barrels by 2035 and a public offering;
  • Complete Bioleum's ongoing Series A preferred equity financing;
  • Execute definitive lease, EPC, feedstock, and offtake agreements, complete all engineering, and continue to advance Bioleum's first commercial biorefinery site in Oklahoma;
  • Acquire and develop initial commercial scale purpose grown energy crop farm to provide additional feedstock for our first commercial biorefinery;
  • Secure sufficient project-level financing for first Oklahoma-based commercial biorefinery project;
  • Execute additional revenue generating licenses and other commercial agreements;
  • Expand Wisconsin pilot production capabilities to up to two barrels per week of intermediates and fuels; and
  • Advance our innovation and development efforts toward even higher yields, lower costs and lower capital.

Bioleum's commercialization plans are squarely focused on operationalizing its newly integrated pilot facilities in Wisconsin and commercializing its first fully integrated demonstration scale facility in Oklahoma. Bioleum also offers integrations of its solutions into existing agriculture, forestry, pulp and paper, ethanol, and petroleum infrastructure to generate additional technical services, engineering and royalty revenues. The plans also include integrating Bioleum's high yield Bioleum refining platform with Hexas' high yield energy crops to provide enough feedstock to produce upwards of 100 barrels of fuel per acre per year, effectively transforming agricultural lands into perpetual "drop-in sedimentary oilfields" with the potential to dramatically boost domestic and global energy independence.

Allied Critical Metals Expands Santa Helena Breccia in Borralha with Long Tungsten Intercepts and Confirms High-Grade Trend

Allied Critical Metals Expands Santa Helena Breccia in Borralha with Long Tungsten Intercepts and Confirms High-Grade Trend

Highlights:

  • The latest drill results build on Bo_RC_14/25 drill hole (previously released as 12.0 metres @ 4.27% WO₃ from 252.0 metres, incl. 6.0 metres @ 8.39% WO₃ from 252.0 metres) and collectively suggests a larger and higher-grade Breccia complex than previously modeled.
  • Bo_RC_17/25 results included 100.0 metres @ 0.21% WO₃ from 52.0 metres, including
    • 32.0 metres @ 0.33% WO₃ (MF 10.6 m%) from 92.0 metres, including
    • 14.0 metres @ 0.52% WO₃ (MF 5.2 m%) from 106.0 metres, including
    • 6.0 metres @ 0.74% WO₃ (MF 4.4 m%) from 110.0 metres
      South infill drill hole confirms bulk-mineable medium-grade core with well-defined high-grade corridors.
  • Bo_RC_15/25 results included 2.0 metres @ 0.97% WO₃ from 164.0 metres
    South-west deep step-out drill hole with a high-grade intersection consistent with previously reported Bo_RC_14/25 drill hole.
  • Bo_RC_22/25 results included 64.0 metres @ 0.12% WO₃ from 284.0 metres, including
    • 16.0 metres @ 0.21% WO₃ from 316.0 metres
      New northern deep lode opens a new northern vector for resource growth.

Allied Critical Metals Inc. (CSE: ACM,OTC:ACMIF) (OTCQB: ACMIF) (FSE: 0VJ0) ("Allied" or the "Company"), which is focused on its 100% owned past producing Borralha and Vila Verde tungsten projects in northern Portugal, is pleased to announce additional significant assay results from its ongoing 4,200 metres reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at its Borralha Tungsten Project. The latest results from drill holes Bo_RC_1525, Bo_RC_1725, and Bo_RC_2225 extend mineralization both west and north of the previously announced Bo_RC_1425 high-grade intercept, reinforcing that the Santa Helena Breccia within the Borralha Project is emerging as a larger and higher-grade orebody than previously modeled. The Company will commence an additional fully funded 1,528 metre drilling in the fourth quarter of 2025 to build off the drilling success in July.

The results are especially timely as tungsten price has now reached a new high of U.S.$550/MTU, which is an increase of more than 40% over the past four months as demand for the critical mineral increases in the face of further supply chain restrictions from non-Western countries [Source: FastMarkets].

Roy Bonnell, CEO & Director of Allied, commented: "These thick, continuous intervals in the central-south and the new northern deep lode materially expand the working envelope at the Santa Helena Breccia in Borralha. Together with the previously reported ultra-high-grade intercept in Bo_RC_14/25, we see clear evidence of a system that is both bigger and better than we initially assumed. This is exactly the kind of data we want feeding into the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Moreover, the results demonstrate the potential of Borralha as a key strategic, safe, and secure source of tungsten for Portugal, the EU and NATO."

João Barros, President & COO of Allied, stated: "Tungsten is recognized by the European Union as both a critical and strategic raw material under the CRMA. With Europe producing less than 3% of its annual needs and facing increasing Chinese export restrictions, the Borralha Project represents a vital opportunity to strengthen secure, Western-aligned supply chains. Our work directly supports the EU target of sourcing at least 10% of its critical raw materials domestically by 2030, while reinforcing Portugal's role as a key contributor to Europe's strategic independence. "

General (Ret.) James A. "Spider" Marks, Director of the Company's U.S. subsidiary, stated: "Expanding the mineral resource at the Borralha Project is an essential next step in path to fulfilling the immense need in Portugal, the EU, NATO and the United States for tungsten powders, concentrates and other byproducts. The U.S. and NATO defense military complexes are dependent on tungsten. Without domestic supply of tungsten, the Borralha Project becomes a very important piece to the critical mineral supply chains for the United States and NATO."

These latest drilling results are highly significant because they combine both scale and grade. The long intercepts at 0.21-0.33% WO₃ in Bo_RC_17/25 are particularly meaningful in wolframite systems. In addition, the drilling program is clearly growing the footprint of the Breccia complex. The Bo_RC_22/25 delineates a northern deep lode, while Bo_RC_15/25 ties the west-deep high-grade corridor back to the main body-both lines of evidence supporting a larger Santa Helena Breccia, the principal mineralized body at Borralha Project.

Geologic Interpretation

The geologic interpretation indicates that the Santa Helena Breccia is expanding: the combination of broad medium-grade intervals and discrete high-grade intercepts points to a larger, better-connected breccia body than previously modeled. Priority vectors for follow-up include the west-dip high-grade trend (Bo_RC_14/25 and Bo_RC_15/25) and the northern wider deep lode (Bo_RC_22/25), which will guide near-term drilling and feed the Q4 2025 MRE and subsequent PEA workstreams.

Next steps

Ongoing drilling continues to target west-deep and northern extensions while tightening spacing across the MRE backbone. Additional assays from completed holes will be released as received and validated. The program remains aligned with the timeline toward an updated MRE (Q4 2025) and PEA thereafter.

Technical Information and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)

Drilling was completed using reverse-circulation (RC). All sample bags were pre-labelled with a unique internal sequence number used consistently for the assay sample and corresponding reject. Sampling was conducted on 2.0 m intervals for analytics. For each 2.0 m interval, two 1.0 m reject samples were also collected as representative splits. Splitting was performed at the rig via a rotary splitter integral to the RC cyclone.

Sampling followed pre-prepared sample lists that recorded downhole metreage, sequence, and the placement of Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) and field duplicates. CRMs were inserted at a rate of 1 in 20 samples (5%) and field duplicates at 1 in 20 samples (5%), arranged so that every 10th sample alternated between a CRM and a duplicate.

Analytical and reject samples were boxed at the drill site and transported by company personnel to the project core/logging facility. Analytical samples were stored on labelled pallets pending direct shipment to ALS's preparation laboratory in Seville, Spain. Pulps and rejects were subsequently stored securely in the project logging room.

At ALS Seville, samples were crushed to 70% passing 2 mm, riffle-split to ~250 g, and pulverized using hardened steel to 85% passing 75 μm. Pulps were shipped to ALS Loughrea (Ireland) for analysis. The primary analytical method was ME-MS81 (lithium borate fusion with ICP-MS finish). Base metals were also reported using ME-4ACD81 (four-acid digestion with ICP-MS finish). Over-limit tungsten results were re-assayed using W-XRF15b (lithium borate fusion with XRF). Analytical results were delivered directly by ALS to the Company via secure electronic transfer.

To the best of the Company's knowledge, no drilling, sampling, recovery, or other factors have been identified that would materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referenced herein.

Where reported, metal factor (m·%WO₃) is the product of interval length and grade and is provided as supplemental context only. Primary disclosure remains the reported grade and interval length (and true width where known).

Mr. Arezes is not independent of Allied Critical Metals Inc. as he is an officer of the Company.

Understanding Tungsten

To understand tungsten, it is critical to understand the difference between wolframite tungsten mineralization and scheelite tungsten mineralization. Scheelite often reports higher grades (0.3%-1.0% WO₃) but is more costly and complex to process, requiring flotation methods with higher capital and operating expenditures and lower recoveries.i In contrast, wolframite, which is the focus of Allied, can be processed more efficiently using gravity and magnetic separation, resulting in lower costs and higher recoveries, making lower grades (~0.15%-0.25% WO₃) economically viable in wolframite deposits. For example, a wolframite deposit with 0.4% WO₃ over 3 metres can be more profitable than a scheelite deposit with 0.7% WO₃ over the same interval due to lower processing costs and higher recovery rates.ii

In Western exploration drilling, tungsten grades typically range from 0.3% to 1.0% WO₃.iii The cut-off grade for economic viability is generally around 0.1% WO₃, with highly efficient operations able to mine at grades as low as 0.08% WO₃. Skarn deposits, a common deposit type, typically range from 0.34% to 1.4% WO₃, with intercepts of 0.4% WO₃ over 1-5 metres considered very good and 0.7% WO₃ over 1-3 metres considered very high-grade.iv Intercept lengths can range from 0.6 metres to over 100 metres, with longer intercepts at strong grades generally preferred for economic mining.

Published exploration results in Western jurisdictions demonstrate the standards for wolframite, with reported intercepts such as ~9-15 m @ 0.6-0.8% WO₃, ~18 m @ 1.0% WO₃, and typical intervals of 1-5 m @ 0.25-0.5% WO₃. A result like 0.5% WO₃ over 3 metres is generally considered strong within Western tungsten exploration benchmarks, especially for wolframite tungsten mineralization.v

It is also important to recognize that China, Russia, and North Korea control approximately 87% of the world's tungsten supply, using cheap labor and minimal environmental standards in authoritarian regimes. vi As a result, production costs and grades in these countries are not comparable to Western projects, which operate under higher labor, ESG, and energy cost structures. Evaluating projects outside these regions provides a realistic benchmark for what grades and intercepts are economically viable while supporting secure, NATO-aligned supply chains.

For Allied, this context is significant. Wolframite tungsten grades, ranging from 0.2% to 1.0% WO₃ are strong global wolframite benchmark values. The Company's focus on wolframite ensures lower processing costs and higher recoveries, supporting project economics even at lower grades. Allied's operations in secure jurisdictions align with Western critical mineral needs, avoiding geopolitical risks associated with China and Russia while positioning the Company to benefit from growing tungsten demand across defense, aerospace, and electrification sectors. Allied's strong grades, low-cost processing advantages, and secure location position it as a strategic and responsible tungsten exploration company, well placed to support robust project economics in a rising-demand market. vii

*The results and intercepts referenced are drawn from publicly available disclosures of third-party mineral projects and are presented for industry benchmarking and comparison purposes only. Allied has no interests in those projects or entities.

RUA GOLD Reports High-Grade Intercepts at Auld Creek, Including 17m @ 9.8g/t AuEq and 8m @ 8.9g/t AuEq, Extending Strike of Current Resource

RUA GOLD Reports High-Grade Intercepts at Auld Creek, Including 17m @ 9.8g/t AuEq and 8m @ 8.9g/t AuEq, Extending Strike of Current Resource

Highlights:

  • Auld Creek hosts an inferred resource contained within two mineralized shoots, Bonanza and Fraternal, which outcrop at surface. Recent drilling has increased the vertical extent of the resource from 160m to 300m and increased the strike length from 350m to 620m. The resource remains open in all directions, with every drill hole intersecting the structure.
  • Highlighted assay results show:
    • ACDDH037: 8m @ 8.9g/t AuEq1 (6.2g/t Au & 0.6% Sb) from 158m depth
      • Including 5m @ 11.1 g/t AuEq1 (7.0g/t Au & 1.0% Sb)

    • ACDDH039: 17m @ 9.8 AuEq1 (3.6g/t Au & 1.5% Sb) from 155m depth
      • Including 10m @ 15.3 g/t AuEq1 (5.0g/t Au & 2.4% Sb)

  • Two rigs are currently drilling at Auld Creek, testing the Bonanza shoot in the north and the Fraternal shoot in the south. Surface soil geochemistry has confirmed the system can be traced over a 2.5km strike length.

  • The drilling program at the first Cumberland target, Gallant, has concluded after sixteen drill holes. Initial results were encouraging, identifying three correlated mineralized quartz veins; however, these have not demonstrated continuity on a larger scale due to structural complexity.

  • Regional Program: VRIFY AI modelling has guided target generation for regional exploration work >30km south of Reefton at Bell Hill (refer to Figure 6). Initial surface rock-chip sampling of outcropping quartz veins returned grades of 14.2 g/t and 14.3g/t Au. September 8, 2025

Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA,OTC:NZAUF) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) ("Rua Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing drilling campaign at the Reefton Project, located on the South Island of New Zealand. The Company reports additional high-grade gold-antimony intersections, identified 270 meters north along strike of the current resource estimate.
