About Comstock Metals Ltd.

Comstock has optioned 494 claims covering 10,374 hectares (25,634 acres) within the prolific White Gold District in the Yukon Territory about 70 kilometres south of Dawson City. The claims were optioned from Shawn Ryan, a Yukon based prospector responsible for the discovery of two of the prominent gold discoveries in the White Gold district, Kinross Gold's 1.5 million ounce Golden-Saddle deposit and Kaminak Gold's Coffee projects. The Company has completed two soil sampling programs on the Yukon property with encouraging results.

The Company is also earning a 75% interest by an option agreement from Golden Goliath Resources (GNG). Agnico Eagle has signed a Letter of Intent with Golden Goliath on its Las Bolas Project in the Uruachic Mining camp in Chihuahua, Mexico. Comstock's Corona Au-Ag project is located in the same camp and the Company is currently planning an exploration program to generate drill targets from earlier work. Previous reverse circulation drilling also identified both bulk tonnage and high-grade vein type gold/silver targets, some of which the Company plans to diamond-drill for assay comparison.
