ARES STRATEGIC MINING INC. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF PLAN OF ARRANGEMENT

Vancouver, B.C. – September 15, 2023 – Ares Strategic Mining Inc. (the “Company” or “Ares”)) (CSE: ARS;

OTC: ARSMP; FRA: N81) announces that, further to its news release dated September 1, 2023, that the

previously announced plan of arrangement (the “ Arrangement”), including the spin -off of its wholly-

owned subsidiary, Enyo Strategic Mining Inc. (“Enyo”), closed today.

The Arrangement was approved by the shareholders (the “ Shareholders”) of the Company’s common

shares at an annual and special meeting held on November 23, 2022 and by the Ontario Superior Court of

Justice in its final order dated December 1, 2022.

The Arrangement included a transfer of Ares’ ownership and rights in and to the Liard property and

Vanadium Ridge property located in British Columbia, Canada to Enyo in consideration of 13,900,065

common shares of Enyo (the “ Enyo Spinout Shares”). In addition, the Company completed a capital

reorganization which included the renaming and re-designation of its common shares (the “Existing Ares

Shares”) and the creation of a new class of common shares (the “New Ares Shares”). The Shareholders at

the close of business on September 14, 2023 received one New Ares Share and 0.1 of an Enyo Spinout

Share in exchange for each Existing Ares Share that was held by such Shareholder.

Following the closing of the Arrangement, Enyo is now a separate unlisted “reporting issuer” in each of

British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward

Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. Enyo owns Ares’ interests in the Liard property and the Vanadium

Ridge property. The Liard property consists of eighteen (18) mineral claims totaling 4,825 hectares,
