DISCLOSURE

AND

FORWARD-LOOKING

STATEMENTS:

Companies typically rely on comprehensive feasibility reports on mineral reserve estimates to reduce the

risks

and

uncertainties

associated

with

a

production

decision.

Historically,

situations

where

the

issuer

decides

to

put

a

mineral

project

into

production

without

first

establishing

mineral

reserves

supported

by

1

a technical report and completing a feasibility study have a higher risk of economic or technical failure,

though

some

industrial

mineral

ventures

are

relatively

simple

operations

with

low

levels

of

investment

and

risk,

where

the

operating

entity

has

determined

that

a

formal

prefeasibility

or

feasibility

study

in

conformance

with

NI

43-101

and

43-101

CP

is

not

required

for

a

production

decision.

Based

on

historical

engineering

work,

geological

reports,

historical

production

data

and

current

engineering

work

completed

or

in

the

process

by

Ares,

the

Company

intends

to

move

forward

with

the

development

of

its

Utah

asset.
