Comstock Inc., a company established in 2008 and based in Virginia City, Nevada, specializes in the exploration, development, and extraction of mineral resources across the state. Its exploration efforts are focused on discovering a diverse range of valuable ores, including gold, silver, lithium, nickel, cobalt, and mercury. The company's operations are structured into two principal divisions: Mining and Real Estate. Within its Mining segment, Comstock oversees approximately 9,358 acres of mining claims and land parcels. This significant acreage comprises around 2,396 acres of patented claims and surface rights, alongside roughly 6,962 acres of unpatented claims located within the historic Comstock and Silver City districts. Key exploration and development initiatives are specifically directed towards properties in the Lucerne and Dayton resource areas, as well as the Occidental and Gold Hill mineral sites. The Real Estate segment encompasses diverse landholdings and various rental income-generating properties, notably including the Gold Hill Hotel and the Daney Ranch. Furthermore, Comstock Inc. has forged strategic alliances with Oro Industries Inc. and Mercury Clean Up, LLC. These partnerships are dedicated to developing and deploying advanced mercury remediation systems. These systems leverage proprietary mechanical, hydraulic, electrochemical, and oxidation technologies to effectively recover and neutralize mercury found in soils, waste materials, and mining tailings. The company rebranded as Comstock Inc. in May 2022, having previously operated under the name Comstock Mining Inc.
