rapidly expiring, photovoltaic waste resources we can now envision a silver mine that never stops producing.
Comstock Metals has proven its process with all types of solar panels through multi-year, demonstration-scale
production and has secured all prerequisite permits to now expand and scale its industrial operations. We have
received substantially all of our industry-scale equipment, expanded our storage capacity, and secured world-class
process for our mineral-rich tailings. Our team s persistence has been unwavering, and we are now commercializing.

Monetizing our legacy
Our legacy starts with our namesake, the Comstock Lode. We are in advance discussions with a select group of
returns from recycling solar panels (also known as urban mining ) far exceed the returns from hard-rock mining in
both speed, duration, and of course, absolute magnitude. Capital redeployed from our mining assets to our solar
recycling platform is expected to result in highly positive and sustainable value accretion for our stakeholders. We
expect approximately $50 million in value with meaningful cash up front this year and cash over the next few years.
Our legacy also includes prior investments in real estate, including the formation of Sierra Springs Opportunity Fund
Inc. ( SSOF ) and the consolidation of thousands of acres of industrial, commercial, and residential real estate in Silver
Springs, Nevada. This real estate includes the locations we are leasing for our metal recycling facilities. Our recent
