01-03

Comstock Inc. LODE announced that its subsidiary Comstock Fuels Corporation signed a binding agreement with Gresham’s Eastern Pvt. Ltd. (Gresham’s) to grant Gresham’s an exclusive project and site development rights in Pakistan. This move will help Comstock bring renewable fuel production to Pakistan with sustainable biomass refining technology.

Details on Comstock-Gresham’s Deal

Based in Pakistan, Gresham’s is a sustainable energy engineering, equipment and construction company.

Under the agreement, Gresham’s will build an initial demonstration facility in Lahore, Pakistan, using Comstock Fuels’ proprietary and patented Bioleum refining technologies to produce sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”) and other renewable fuels. The facility is expected to process 75,000 metric tons of biomass annually. 

Pakistan's abundant biomass resources make it an ideal hub for renewable fuel production. This facility will position Pakistan as an emerging leader in the renewable fuels sector, aided by the rapid global market demand for increased SAF production. 

Gresham's will look after the development, financing, construction and management of renewable fuel production facilities. Each Bioleum Refinery will operate under a site-specific agreement, ensuring adherence to Comstock Fuels' performance and quality standards.

Comstock Fuels will receive a 20% equity stake in each refinery. Moreover, it will earn royalties of 6% on licensed product sales, as well as engineering fees equal to 6% of total capital and construction expenditure.
