Item 3.01. Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing or Notice of Delisting

On August 27, 2018, Comstock Mining Inc. (the “Company”) received notification (the “Listing Standard Letter”) from the NYSE American LLC that the Company’s securities have been selling at or below $0.20 per share since July 26, 2018, and, pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) the Company’s continued listing is predicated on demonstrating sustained price improvement or effecting a reverse stock split within the next six month period, that is, no late than February 27, 2019. The Company is required to stay in contact with the NYSE and discuss any new developments, regarding progress on its strategy, plans for implementing a reverse split or otherwise.

The Company currently meets all other listing requirements and its common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while it attempts to regain compliance with the listing standard noted, subject to the Company’s ongoing compliance with other continued listing requirements. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “LODE,” but will have an added designation of “.BC” to indicate that the Company is below compliance with this NYSE American’s listing standard.

The NYSE American notification does not affect the Company’s business operations or its SEC reporting requirements and does not conflict with or cause an event of default under any of the Company’s material agreements.
