LODE CEO on Silver & Gold: Profiting from Precious Metals Recycling, Refining, and Mining

Send us Fan MailOn this week’s episode of the WTR Small-Cap Spotlight, Corrado De Gasperis, Chief Executive Officer of Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE), joined Tim Gerdeman, Vice Chair & Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Water Tower Research, and Peter Gastreich, Energy and Sustainable Investing Analyst at Water Tower Research. De Gasperis discusses Comstock’s high-volume, zero‑landfill solar panel recycling platform, which recovers 100% of panel materials, including significant amounts of silver, aluminum, and other critical minerals. He outlines the structural shift underway in the silver market driven by accelerating industrial demand from solar, electrification, and advanced technologies, and explains how Comstock is positioned to capture value through recycling economics that blend environmental service fees, low operating costs, and commodity sales. With its first permitted facility in Nevada commissioning, plans to scale multiple recycling sites nationwide, and a strategy to vertically integrate domestic silver refining, Comstock is positioned for strong cash flow growth and long-term leadership in sustainable metals.
