    VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comstock Inc. (the "Company") today announced that the Board of Directors has approved the appointment of Mr. Judd B. Merrill, as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and President of the Company's wholly-owned mining subsidiary, Comstock Mining LLC, that, together with the Company's other affiliated mining activities, controls all of the Company's mineral exploration and mining assets. Mr. Merrill will assume his new role starting May 19, 2025.

    Mr. Merrill brings extensive public company mining and clean mineral technology industry experience to Comstock. Mr. Merrill, age 54, most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of Aqua Metals, Inc., (NASDAQ:AQMS), a Nevada-based metal recycling company, from November 2018 to May 2025. Prior to joining Aqua Metals, Mr. Merrill was the Chief Financial Officer and the Director of Finance & Accounting at Klondex Mines Ltd., a North American based, publicly traded gold and silver mining company, listed on both the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges. Mr. Merrill previously held financial management positions at Fronteer Gold Inc. and Newmont Mining Corporation and started his career as an auditor, working for the independent accounting firm of Deloitte and Touche LLP.

    Mr. Corrado De Gasperis, Executive Chairman and CEO, said, "We are thrilled to welcome Judd back to the Comstock. Judd is the ultimate systems-based, team-oriented professional, whose extensive Nevada-based mining, both explorational and transactional, with innovative clean technology, metal recycling and public company financial experience makes him an ideal member of our executive team. His inclusion is especially significant as we capitalize, accelerate and expand our metal recycling business and prepare our teams to separate our renewable fuels business into a stand-alone, independent company."

    Mr. Merrill was previously employed by the Company (then known as, Comstock Mining Inc.) for over six years, in positions of increasing responsibility, including Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary and subsequently, as a director of our board.

    Mr. Merrill holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Central Washington University and he received an M.B.A. from the University of Nevada, Reno and is a licensed Certified Public Accountant ("CPA").

    Mr. Walter "Del" Marting, Chairman of the Audit Committee, commented, "Judd adds strong capacity and competency to every salient aspect of our financial organization, including liquidity and capital resource management, public company financial accounting and reporting, internal financial controls and regulatory compliance and his experience in metal-based business development makes a strong addition to the business teams."
