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.
