<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">Comstock innovates and commercializes technologies that extract and convert under-utilized natural resources into clean energy products, including remarkable new technologies that produce renewable fuels from waste and other forms of woody biomass and electrification metals from end-of-life electronics. We are also developing and using artificial intelligence technologies for advanced materials development, and preparing our defined mineral resources for mining and monetization.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">Our goal is to build extraordinary shareholder value by using systemic management practices, disciplined frontier scientific discovery, and applied engineering to innovate, develop, and commercialize technologies that facilitate the increased production, storage, distribution, and use of clean energy across entire industries. Our operations primarily involve innovating, developing, deploying, and monetizing clean energy technologies with integrated teams in dedicated lines of business, including renewable fuels, metals, and mining. Our plans to generate revenue and throughput involve using and licensing our technologies, including by creating financial and other incentives to enable and motivate&nbsp;our customers, licensees, and other stakeholders to use their capital, infrastructure, and other resources to accelerate and maximize adoption.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">We also make, own and manage investments in related assets to support our businesses, including multiple existing minority equity positions and partnerships in strategic technology developers, two renewable fuels demonstration facilities in Wisconsin, and a metals recycling demonstration facility in Nevada. We additionally own and manage direct investments in northern Nevada real estate comprised of industrial and commercial properties, strategic water rights and approximately twelve&nbsp;square miles of mining claims and related surface parcels that we own, lease and/or have a royalty interest in that also contain&nbsp;measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources of gold and silver.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;"><i>Fuels Segment</i></p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">Our Fuels Segment is administered by our subsidiary, Comstock Fuels Corporation (&#8220;Comstock Fuels&#8221;). Comstock Fuels delivers advanced lignocellulosic biomass refining solutions that set industry benchmarks for production of cellulosic ethanol, gasoline, renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel (&#8220;SAF&#8221;), and other renewable Bioleum&#8482; fuels, with extremely low carbon intensity scores of 15 and market-leading yields of up to 140 gallons per dry metric ton of feedstock (on a gasoline gallon equivalent basis, or &#8220;GGE&#8221;), depending on feedstock, site conditions, and other process parameters. Comstock Fuels additionally holds the exclusive rights to intellectual properties developed by Hexas Biomass Inc. (&#8220;Hexas&#8221;) for production of purpose grown energy crops in liquid fuels applications with proven yields exceeding 25 to 30 dry metric tons per acre per year. The combination of Comstock Fuels&#8217; high yield Bioleum refining platform and Hexas&#8217; high yield energy crops allows for the production of enough feedstock to produce upwards of 100 barrels of fuel per acre per year (at 42 gallons per barrel), effectively transforming marginal agricultural lands with regenerative practices into perpetual &#8220;drop-in sedimentary oilfields&#8221; with the potential to dramatically boost regional energy security and rural economies. Comstock Fuels plans to contribute to domestic energy dominance by directly building, owning, and operating a network of Bioleum Refineries in the U.S. to produce about 200 million barrels of renewable fuel per year by 2035, starting with its planned first 400,000 barrel per year commercial demonstration facility in Oklahoma. Comstock Fuels also licenses its advanced feedstock and refining solutions to third parties for additional production in the U.S. and global markets, including several recently announced and other pending projects. Our Fuels Segment does not currently generate revenue but is anticipated to do so from recently announced agreements for licensing and related engineering services in Australia,&nbsp;New Zealand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Pakistan.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">Comstock Fuels operates two pilot facilities, including a feedstock conversion and biointermediate production pilot in Wausau, Wisconsin (&#8220;Wausau Facility&#8221;), and a biointermediate conversion and renewable fuel production pilot in Madison, Wisconsin (&#8220;Madison Facility&#8221;). Comstock Fuels is also focused on additional innovations to improve on its existing commercial process by increasing its market-leading yields and carbon intensities while driving costs down in pursuit of fossil parity. To that end, Comstock Fuels&#8217; innovations group has partnered with National Renewable Energy Laboratory (&#8220;NREL&#8221;), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (&#8220;MIT&#8221;), RenFuel K2B AB (&#8220;RenFuel&#8221;), Emerging Fuels Technologies Inc. (&#8220;EFT&#8221;), and others with sponsored research, licensing, and other agreements.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify;">We intend to transition Comstock Fuels to directly supporting its continued development with the proceeds of a planned Series A subsidiary preferred equity offering in 2025 (&#8220;Series A Financing&#8221;) as well as subsidiary project equity and debt financings that includes a recent allocation of $152 million from the State of Oklahoma in project activity bonds for the construction of its planned first 400,000 barrel per year facility in Oklahoma. Effective February 28, 2025, Comstock Fuels entered into a series of definitive agreements with subsidiaries of Marathon Petroleum Corporation (&#8220;Marathon&#8221;), involving the purchase of $14,000,000 in Comstock Fuels equity as part of Comstock Fuels&#8217; planned Series A Financing, subject to a $700,000,000 valuation cap (&#8220;Investment&#8221;). The purchase price includes $1,000,000 in cash and $13,000,000 in payment-in-kind assets comprised of equipment, related intellectual properties, and other materials located at Marathon&#8217;s former renewable fuel demonstration facility in Madison, Wisconsin (&#8220;Payment-In-Kind Assets&#8221;).</p>

Comstock Fuels is actively engaged in the planning and deployment of our first commercial demonstration facility and&nbsp;pursuing joint development and licensing agreements representing future revenue sources from technical and engineering services, royalties, and equity participation. The joint efforts include securing associated supply chain participants (including feedstock, site selection, and offtake), performing preliminary and final engineering, facilitating commissioning, construction, and operations with globally and locally recognized current and developing renewable fuel producers that, in certain cases, also represent a source of strategic capital for funding the projects.</p>

The plans also include integrating our high yield Bioleum refining platform with Hexas&#8217; high yield energy crops, when appropriate, capable of growing enough feedstock to produce upwards of 100 barrels of fuel per acre per year, effectively transforming agricultural lands into perpetual &#8220;drop-in sedimentary oilfields&#8221; with the potential to dramatically boost domestic and global energy independence.</p>

The seller may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">We have acted as special Nevada counsel to Comstock Inc., a Nevada corporation (the &#8220;<u>Company</u>&#8221;), in connection with the filing by the Company of a Form S-3 Registration Statement (including the prospectus which is a part thereof, the &#8220;<u>Registration Statement</u>&#8221;), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;<u>Commission</u>&#8221;) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;<u>Act</u>&#8221;), of 775,000 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.000666 per share, which are presently issued and outstanding and held by the seller named in the Registration Statement (the &#8220;<u>Outstanding Shares</u>&#8221;), all of which may be sold from time to time by such seller named in the Registration Statement on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended through the date hereof (the &#8220;<u>Articles of Incorporation</u>&#8221;); (ii) the Bylaws of the Company, as amended through the date hereof (the &#8220;<u>Bylaws</u>&#8221;); (iii) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company relating to the issuance, sale and registration of the Outstanding Shares; and (iv) the Registration Statement. In addition, we have examined and relied upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of certain other corporate records, documents, instruments and certificates of public officials and of the Company, and we have made such inquiries of officers of the Company and public officials and considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions set forth herein. We have also relied upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Registration Statement and those certain documents included as exhibits to the Registration Statement. In rendering our opinion, we have made the assumptions that are customary in opinion letters of this kind. We have not verified these assumptions.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; font-variant: normal; text-align: justify; margin: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">In connection with this opinion, we have assumed the accuracy and completeness of each document submitted to us, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, and the authenticity of all items submitted to us as originals and the conformity with originals of all items submitted to us as copies. In making our examination of documents executed by parties other than the Company, we have assumed that each other party has the power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform and observe the provisions of, such documents and has duly&nbsp;authorized, executed and delivered such documents. In making our examination of transaction documents underlying the issuance of the Outstanding Shares, we have assumed that such transaction documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of all of the parties thereto, including the Company. With respect to certain factual matters, we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company.</p>
