Vancouver, August 31, 2023 - Comstock Metals Ltd. (TSXV: CSL) ("Comstock" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into loan agreements dated as of August 31, 2023 to borrow an aggregate of $210,000. The loan agreements have been entered into with companies controlled by Steven Goldman, the Company's Chief Executive Officer ($200,000) and Darren Urquhart, the Company's Chief Financial Officer ($10,000). The proceeds from the loans will be used to exercise 21,000,000 rights of MAS Gold Corp. ("MAS") (TSXV: MAS) held by the Company which expire on September 5, 2023, with each right entitling the holder to acquire one common share in the capital of MAS (each a "MAS Share") at an exercise price of $0.01 per MAS Share. Immediately following the exercise of the 21,000,000 MAS rights on or before 5:00 p.m. Toronto time on September 5, 2023, Comstock will own 47,095,000 MAS Shares.

Under the terms of the loan agreements the amounts owing under the loans together with interest at 10% per annum will be secured by, and the lenders will have sole recourse to, the 21,000,000 MAS Shares acquired with the proceeds of the loans. The loans will be repaid on a pro rata basis through the net proceeds of any sale of these 21,000,000 MAS Shares. If, following the sale of these MAS Shares there are funds remaining with the Company such funds will be used to first re-pay the amounts owing to Mr. Goldman's consulting company (approximately $102,975) and Mr. Urquhart's consulting company (approximately $65,625) for services provided to the Company up to December 31, 2022 on a pro rata basis, and then, if additional funds are remaining, to pay other Company debts and for corporate purposes. If there are insufficient funds from the sale of the MAS Shares to repay the loans then the remaining balance on the loans will be forgiven.

Mr. Goldman and Mr. Urquhart are considered to be "related parties" (within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101")), making the transactions "related party transactions" (within the meaning of MI 61-101) (the "Related Party Subscriptions"). The Company was exempt from obtaining a formal valuation for, and minority approval of, the Related Party Subscriptions pursuant to Section 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively. The loan transactions were approved by the disinterested directors of the Company.
