What the filing says
Comstock closed the sale of 100% of its mining subsidiaries (Comstock Mining LLC, Processing LLC, Exploration LLC, Real Estate Inc.) and all related assets to Mackay Precious Metals Inc. (subsidiary of Mackay Gold Silver Corp.) for aggregate consideration valued at >$45M: $20M cash received plus 2M Mackay shares (~$4.5M), with $7M due in 18 months. Comstock expects to record a $10M–$12M non-taxable gain, retains 1.5% NSR royalty on precious metals/minerals, has contingent $10M payment if Mackay constructs mine or achieves $500M+ sale within 7 years, and projects $1.5M annual operating cost savings.
Why this rating
Strategic divestiture: $24.5M immediate inflow + expected $10–12M accounting gain is ~20% of market cap; reduces ongoing costs $1.5M/yr; accelerates renewable-metals pivot. Moderate execution risk on royalty/contingent payments; balance-sheet liquidity and cost reduction are material positives for small-cap transformation.
