Item 7.01 Regulation FD.
On September 3, 2024, Comstock Inc. (the “Company”) became aware of an article (the “Article”) entitled “US outfit seeks $3.7bn to power up Australia’s green aviation fuel sector,” written by Sarah Thompson, Kanika Sood and Emma Rapaport (the “Authors”) and published online by Australian Financial Review (the “Publisher”).
The Article contains several material false and misleading statements, including, among other statements: the proposed capital raise by a subsidiary of the Company; the existence of an exclusive Asia Pacific license; desired or preferred sites for refinery or other business operations; capital expenditure requirements; raw material tonnage; and forecasted revenues or earnings.
Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company contributed any of the content of the Article or had any communications with the Authors or the Publisher prior to the publication of the Article. The Company immediately contacted the Authors and the Publisher to demand that the Article be fully retracted.
This Form 8-K is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and is therefore not to be considered “filed” with the SEC.
Investors are cautioned to exclusively refer to the Company’s website and filings with the SEC for updates regarding the Company’s activities.
