Comstock Inc.

Happy New Year, everyone. Welcome to Comstock's fourth quarter stakeholder perception analysis report. I'm Trevor Brucato with RBMG, Comstock's investor relations firm. From the time of the company's Q3 earnings call on October 26th, 2023, to the end of Q4 being December 31st, my team has collected feedback from Comstock stakeholders in an investor sentiment survey covering the strengths, weaknesses, and milestones. Today, I am pleased to have with me again, Comstock's Executive Chairman and CEO, Corrado De Gasparis, who will be addressing the results from the report, which is now live on the company's website at comstock.inc slash investors. For those new to the story, Comstock is an innovator of decarbonizing technologies that enable the energy transition by efficiently converting underutilized natural resources into renewable energy products through three dedicated businesses, Comstock Fuels, which converts woody biomass into carbon-neutral renewable fuels, Comstock Metals, which recycles e-waste and critical metals using end-of-life solar panels as its initial feedstock, and Comstock Mining, which holds significant gold and silver resources in a historic, world-class, and target-rich district in Nevada and plans to dramatically expand its precious metal resources and reserves through its investment in GENMAT, which is the physics-based generative AI-enabled mineral discovery technology. Comstock Inc. is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol LODE, trading at about 56 cents as of yesterday, January 2nd, and has an average daily volume of about a half a million shares with a $65 million U.S. market cap.
