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

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.
