About Comstock Metals Ltd.

Comstock Metals Ltd. is a mineral exploration company.  Its flagship 16,335 hectare QV Property is located in the White Gold district of the Yukon Territory, approximately 70 kilometres south of Dawson City.  To date, the Company has completed 3,400 metres of drilling in 17 drill holes which formed the basis for a maiden Inferred mineral resource totalling 4.4 million tonnes grading 1.65 g/t Au containing 230,000 ounces of gold at a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off (See July 8, 2014 News Release). The VG Deposit remains open in all directions and is proximal to other untested sub-parallel structures. The VG Zone has similar geology and style of mineralization to Kinross’s Golden Saddle deposit, located 11 kilometres to the south.  Additional promising targets exist on the QV Project, with potential for the discovery of significant intrusion related and/or orogenic gold mineralization.

Comstock also owns early stage uranium claims in the Patterson Lake area of Saskatchewan.
