Comstock Mining Completes Award Winning Reclamations and State Route Realignment

01.06.2016  |  Marketwired

Reduces Bonding From $4.5 Million Down to $565 Thousand


VIRGINIA CITY, NV--(Marketwired - June 01, 2016) - Comstock Mining Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE MKT: LODE), announced today that it has materially reduced two bonding requirements previously totaling $4.5 million down to a combined $565 thousand, associated with the realignment of State Route 342 (SR 342), and local county reclamations requirements on mining activities for the Lucerne Mine. The bond reduction will also save the Company almost $100,000 per annum in bonding fees and related monitoring costs.

The completion of the SR 342 realignment, including the already completed capping of the historic Silver Hills Mine shaft, provides a better route from Carson City to Virginia City and a more efficient passage for ongoing mining operations. The Company also achieved significant environmental and reclamation objectives. The SR 342 realignment and historic environmental remediation were substantially completed in collaboration with the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), Storey County, Nevada, U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers (USACE), and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP).

Separately, the Company completed significant reclamation objectives within the Lucerne Mine area, including, but not limited to, the full restoration of the Keystone section of the Lucerne surface mine. The Company received the Excellence in Mine Reclamation Award for the Keystone Mine restoration. The Excellence in Mine Reclamation Awards recognize some of the most progressive Nevada miners, elevating the standards of excellence in mine reclamations and restorations.

Corrado De Gasperis, President & CEO, commented, "Genuine, fundamental sustainability is embedded in our 'Comstock Responsible' culture that enabled the complex network of regulatory cooperation and true public-private partnerships. Now, we have significantly strengthened our balance sheet by reducing the bonding obligations by almost $4 million and significantly reducing ongoing operating expenses, consistent with our 2016 objectives."
