Comstock Expanding Partnership with RenFuel

Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) ("Comstock" and the "Company") today announced advances on amended agreements with RenFuel K2B AB ("RenFuel") involving the development of RenFuel's pre-existing, planned biorefinery project at a pulp and paper mill in Sweden. The amendments also anticipate expanding the scope of the Comstock partnership with RenFuel in the European markets.

These amendments support the liquidation of RenFuel K2B Lignolproduktion AB, a majority owned RenFuel subsidiary originally formed to administer RenFuel's previously planned Swedish biorefinery as part of a joint venture with Preem (the "RenFuel-Preem JV" or the "JV"), thereby better positioning both parties for construction and operation of a larger scale commercial facility based on the joint Comstock-RenFuel technologies throughout Europe, following construction of Comstock's first planned facilities in the Americas. The liquidation of the RenFuel-Preem JV does not alter any of the agreements or terms between Comstock and RenFuel, other than Comstock declining its option to step into the JV. Neither Comstock nor RenFuel have any funding obligations into the JV and are not, in any way, subject to any of the liquidation proceedings.

Sven Löchen, RenFuel's chief executive officer stated, "The subsidiary liquidation is important to streamlining our structure in anticipation of scaling our process together with Comstock's planned facilities, both in the Americas and Europe. We are excited by our partnership and the significantly expanded markets of our joint technologies."

Corrado De Gasperis, Comstock's executive chairman and chief executive officer added, "Comstock has decided to prioritize various opportunities for construction commercial facilities based on joint applications of Comstock's and RenFuel's technologies in the Americas, including an initial 50,000 TPY facility and at least one 1,000,000 TPY facility primarily designed to convert qualified biomass feedstocks into Sustainable Aviation Fuel and Renewable Diesel. This is consistent with all of the ongoing discussions with our strategic and capital partners."

Comstock's proprietary technologies are proven to convert lignocellulosic biomass into Cellulosic Ethanol and proprietary Bioleum biointermediate blends at extraordinary yields exceeding 100 gallons per dry tonne of biomass on a gasoline gallon equivalent basis ("GGE"), and market-leading, extremely low carbon intensity ("CI") scores of 15. Comstock is already using RenFuel's patented catalytic esterification technology to refine its proprietary Bioleum derivatives into Hydrodeoxygenated Bioleum Oil ("HBO"), for use by advanced biofuel refineries in blending with, diversifying, and extending conventional hydroprocessed fat, oil, and grease feedstocks that can simultaneously produce SAF and Renewable Diesel Fuel. Comstock holds the exclusive license to RenFuel's refining technologies in North America, Central America, and South America.
