Focusing on its mission. Comstock Mining hosted a webcast to discuss first quarter results and recent developments. The company is going all in on technologies that enable systemic decarbonization. Its renewable fuels division is advancing technologies to commercialize the conversion of woody biomass into advanced cellulosic fuels. Its lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling business, LiNiCo, is commercializing a process to crush and separate lithium-ion batteries, extract lithium, nickel, cobalt, and graphite, and use the recovered metals to produce 99% pure cathode active precursor products.Making significant headway. Comstock is currently building commercial pilot scale cellulosic fuels and LIB facilities, and the company is preparing to commence crushing and separating operations that will produce mineral-rich black mass at its 137,000 square foot LIB recycling facility later this year and deploy lithium extraction in the same facility next year. The company’s pilot scale cellulosic fuel system will also be operational at its Wisconsin facility later this year. Comstock has established a near-term goal to commission its first 100 million gallon biorefinery by 2025 and LiNiCo expects to produce marketable, battery-grade lithium carbonate by the end of the second quarter of 2023.
