Ares Strategic Mining Looks to Begin Mining Operation
Build Up Work Early in 2024
Vancouver, B.C., December 22nd, 2023 — Ares Strategic Mining Inc. (“ARES” or the “Company”)
(CSE: ARS) (OTC:ARSMF) (FRA: N8I1), is pleased to announce that it has now raised all the
necessary funds to construct a dual product producing processing operation, able to manufacture
both fluorspar lumps, and acidspar.
The Company plans to start work at the mine site, work that is intended to run alongside the
construction work being completed at its Delta processing site. The concurrent activity has been
planned so the new plants will have a consistent supply of ore for when the first plant is
operational and ready to produce product. The Company has the funds necessary to initiate the
work and plans to start early in 2024. For the balance of costs, Ares intends to work with Moneta
Advisory Partners to finance the balance of the costs to complete the mineworks. Moneta will
receive A monthly fee in the amount of ten thousand dollars for each month, payable in equity.
The Equity Work fee will be paid quarterly in Common Shares valued using a volume-weighted
average price based on the five last days of the preceding quarter.
James Walker, President and CEO of the Company said, “We have a huge amount of movement
in the Company now, with our bond financing closed we have all the funds required for a full
manufacturing operation, where we will be able to create fluorspar products for every section of
industry. We have also started our mine planning work, with activity at the mine site scheduled
for early 2024, for which there are some coming announcements. We will move as quickly
through the buildup and development of the project as able, as a well-resourced and well
supported company.”

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.
