Comstock Wins $900K Nevada Tax Breaks For Zero-Landfill Solar Panel Recycling Plant

Comstock Inc. (NYSE:LODE) ("Comstock" and the "Company") and its subsidiary, Comstock Metals LLC ("Comstock Metals"), a leader in the responsible recycling of end-of-life solar panels and the only certified, zero-landfill solar recycling solution in North America, today announced that it has received tax abatements from the Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development ("GOED").

GOED awarded approximately $900,000 in tax abatements that will apply to Comstock Metals' first-of-its-kind zero-landfill, solar panel recycling and critical metal production facility that is scheduled to commence production in the second quarter of 2026, with the initial recycling capacity of approximately 3.3 million panels or approximately 100,000 tons of recycled material per year. Comstock Metals recently received all its remaining permits from the State of Nevada for its breakthrough solar panel recycling processes located in Silver Springs, in northern Nevada and is currently operating in its pilot facility.

In connection with the abatement program, Comstock Metals will create at least 43 diverse, well-paying jobs and make over $12 million in capital investments within the first year of operation. Over the 10-year abatement period, it is estimated that this operation will result in more than $7 million in net new Nevada tax revenues.
