Item 8.01 Other Events
On August 13, 2010, Comstock Mining Inc. (the “Company”) announced the results of its Spring 2010 drilling program. The drilling, concentrated in the Lucerne resource area of the Company’s Comstock Mine Project, was designed to increase the Company’s knowledge in several locations designated as possible starter pit locations, and also to explore extensions of the precious metals mineralization to the east and to the north of the previous drilling. The program was completed with 51 reverse circulation (RC) holes totaling 29,913 feet.
The 2010 Spring program focused upon select locations of the Lucerne resource area, designated the Lucerne-Woodville, Hartford and Justice-Keystone areas and the East Side target. Drill intervals of contiguous mineralized material (gold content greater than 0.010 ounces per ton (opt) and length greater than 20 feet) were intercepted in 42 of the 51 RC drill holes. The Company is currently incorporating these drill results into a new technical report.
A copy of a press release announcing the purchase is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
This Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 are each being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Item 8.01 of Form 8-K and are therefore not to be considered “filed” with the SEC.
