Headquartered in Virginia City, Nevada, Comstock Mining Inc. is a gold and silver mining company with extensive, contiguous property in the Comstock District. The Company began acquiring properties in the Comstock District in 2003. Since that time, they have consolidated a substantial portion of the Comstock District, and amassed the single largest known repository of historical and current geological data on the Comstock region. The Company has also secured permits, built an infrastructure and brought the exploration project into test mining production.
Comstock Mining Inc. continues to acquire additional properties in the district. They are expanding their footprint and creating opportunities for exploration and mining. Their strategic plan’s goal is to deliver stockholder value by validating qualified resources (at least measured and indicated) and reserves (probable and proven) of 3,250,000 gold equivalent ounces by 2013, and to start commercial mining and processing operations in 2011, with yearly production rates of 20,000 gold equivalent ounces.
