| That should be remarkably exciting, if not game changing, I would say, for all of us |
| And we're very fortunate that there are other parties and other technologies making great headway |
| Look, the execution to date, it's been really remarkable |
| Financially, the fourth quarter itself was very strong, with net income of $7.8 million and fourth quarter EPS of $0.07 per fully diluted share |
| This drove our overall full year positive net income to $10.5 million and full year fully diluted earnings per share to $0.09 |
| Our last two quarters drove strong second half net income, well over $20 million and second half earnings per share to $0.18, all very good results indeed |
| Fortunato Villamagna We have seen tremendous response across all segments, whether it's the utilities, whether it's the O&M groups that manage the solar fields, the consulting engineering group, collectors, retail recyclers, the entire gamut |
| So that's fantastic for us because we make a very green sugar that converts nicely into ethanol |
| Which is what really enables us to take a commanding lead in the market, that first-mover advantage and why we hustled so fast to do it |
| So that was very nice for us |
| And we quickly pivoted our system from batteries to photovoltaics and establish the first-mover advantage with the only Nevada-based zero landfill through end-of-life solar panel solution servicing this region |
| This is a great testament to the existing and increasing value of our strategic investments |
| But what I also found meaningful over the last year was the strength, quality and speed of the partnerships and alliances that we forged |
| We'll get a little bit more direct insight on 2024 from all of our team leaders during the UPLODE discussions as we progress here this morning, but 2024 is extremely well positioned, and our system is accelerating |
| So that's a huge improvement for cellulosic |
| So overall, a very solid report and a very strong and beneficial financial position |
| So I think I'm frankly extremely pleased about how we're positioned |
| So that's a pretty remarkable term in this space |
| So that's very good news |
| The SAF interest is global and we're engaged throughout the Americas, Europe and now even with Asian inquiries for deploying our solutions and it's coming from nearly every part of the supply chain needing to produce SAF, the timing here from a market perspective has been very, very good for us |
| Southern Nevada is attractive, Arizona is attractive |
| It's a great opportunity |
| Our TRL 6 Bioleum fuels platform has already proven to be capable of remarkable gains, remarkable throughput, extremely low carbon intensities |
| We're extremely excited about what they'll produce in the coming years, but we're more proud of the engine for growth that we've built over the past 2.5 years |
| I mean it's extremely exciting |
| We simply change the feedstock from fossil fuels to a drop in Bioleum derived fuel that is the -- provides the economic and environmental benefits that we're going after |
| All to be selected within -- all to be selected with permitting getting started this year, which makes 2024 a breakout year for metals and incredibly well positioned it for 2025 and beyond for capturing the lion's share of an incredibly big and fast growing market |
| And then we've also innovated in taking all that and combining it with our material science-related technologies so that we end up establishing a very powerful and sophisticated network effect of innovations and technologies that leads to product and offerings that are unique and competitive in the market |
| So it's just a very strong, powerful example of a network, be it you're seeing about at Reno, be it other universities, other research labs, the government ourselves, RenFuel, we're pushing the envelope continuously |
| This is a remarkable, if not subtle competitive advantage that our leadership teams and our management teams are focused on one goal, and that we do everything in our power to protect them vigilantly from any distractions |

| I would say the biggest challenge right now -- and it's -- I think it's a challenge where we want it to be, and we're having fun with it |
| So we are -- but that's the bad news |
| However, for Comstock Fuels, our biorefining technologies are commercially ready today and offer extraordinary growth for us and our customers, the renewable fuel industry's growth is constrained by feedstock and our technology unblocks that constraint |
| But more importantly, we couldn't see the demand being sufficient |
| And if you look at each industry, each component of each industry, at the bottom of each supply chain or at some point in the supply chain, you've got losses that are created, inefficiencies that are created |
| So that response has been beyond our expectations |
| This last point is probably the most, I would say, gratifying, relieving, joyous for me since the market is pushing demand almost harder than we're pulling it in, probably harder than we're pulling it in |
| When Fortunato showed up, we were scratching our heads at the battery metal market |
| I would argue that some of those numbers are low |
| The market will be skeptical until credible third parties corroborated |
| The latter by more than half, down to under $15 million |
| In fact, just to kind of add some more color to some of the technical challenges and regulatory challenges that we had to overcome to put up this first satellite |
| The demonstration facility by design has limited capacity |
| And probably the biggest reason most innovation teams fall short when you commercialize it |
| When you're talking about some of the parts it gets confusing to people |
| The singular event has significant implications for our mining business for Comstock, but also for the broader global mining industry |
| Corrado De Gasperis I'm not sure that most people truly appreciate what an extraordinary effort and accomplishment this really was |
| We're going to be a little coy on this because we do have competition in this market, and it's developing quickly, let's say, pricing is volatile |
| and the lack of output right now, on the renewable side? Corrado De Gasperis Yes |
| And frankly, many of your peers are distracted by just those types of things, Kevin slaying Goliath on the technology front |
