Apple Also Announces $1 Billion Expansion into Northern Nevada

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., May 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comstock Mining Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE MKT:LODE) reported today that Apple Inc. just announced an additional $1 billion investment in northern Nevada, doubling the size of its existing data center near the Tahoe Reno Industrial (TRI) Center. This investment by Apple will create 300 construction jobs plus 100 permanent data-center jobs.

Corrado De Gasperis, Executive Chairman and CEO of the Company stated, “Apple just joined Tesla and Switch in announcing $1 billion+ investments each, in addition to Google’s recent large land purchase in the TRI Center. These are staggering commitments to the economies near our recently certified Comstock Industrial Site, driving value and interest toward our non-mining properties. We hosted three site visits alone just this past week.”

The Company believes the biggest catalyst and value driver for its lands is the completion of the new USA Parkway and its roundabout connection into Highway 50, both scheduled for completion this year. The Nevada Department of Transportation has already announced over $125 million in infrastructure road projects directly associated with the new Parkway and/or Highway 50 connections and expansions.

The Company recently extracted additional mineralized samples from the Dayton Resource Area, for the purpose of assessing optimum metallurgical feasibility for the Dayton mineralized material. The samples were crushed, agglomerated and loaded into four ten-foot columns for leach pad simulation. These simulations are located on-site, in the Company’s metallurgical labs, and funded by U.S. National Science Foundation research grants through Cycladex Inc., a strategic investee and partner. This simulation is focused on comparing cyanide-based leaching alongside “Cycladex Lixiviant” based leaching so we can provide a preliminary assessment for determining the fastest, most efficient and economically feasible process solution.

Mr. De Gasperis noted, “We completed a scoping column test in the first quarter and have now established four, full metallurgical column tests, two cyanide and two non-cyanide, running parallel, that support and advances the feasibility study for establishing proven and probable reserves at the Dayton Mine. Preliminary results from these columns would be available mid-July.”

The Company also advanced three out of four strategic venture discussions this week and anticipates that at least one transaction will occur during the second quarter.

About Comstock Mining Inc.

Comstock Mining Inc. is a Nevada-based, gold and silver mining company with extensive, contiguous property in the Comstock District and is an emerging leader in sustainable, responsible mining. The Company began acquiring properties in the Comstock District in 2003. Since then, the Company has consolidated a significant portion of the Comstock District, amassed the single largest known repository of historical and current geological data on the Comstock region, secured permits, built an infrastructure and completed its first phase of production.
