(TheNewswire)
Vancouver, B.C. – TheNewswire - September 18th, 2024 — Ares Strategic Mining Inc. (“Ares” or the “Company”) (CSE: ARS) (OTC:ARSMF) (FRA: N8I1), is pleased to announce a significant equity investment from Sorbie Bornholm LP ("Sorbie"), a UK-based institutional investor renowned for supporting high-growth potential companies.
Sorbie's investment represents a strategic partnership that aligns with Ares Strategic Mining’s vision of transforming from a mining company into a fully integrated fluorspar manufacturer. This collaboration is expected to accelerate the Company’s ongoing development of manufacturing capabilities and expand its capacity to meet the growing demand for fluorspar and its derivatives.
James Walker, CEO of Ares Strategic Mining, commented: "We are delighted to welcome Sorbie as a strategic equity partner. Institutional support is vital as we advance our growth strategy, and Sorbie’s commitment is a strong validation of our long-term objectives. With Sorbie's backing, we are better positioned to enhance our operational capabilities, secure new opportunities, and continue delivering value to our shareholders."
In 2018 the U.S. government classified fluorspar as a Critical Mineral, “deemed critical to U.S. national security and the economy.” Fluorspar remains the only non-metallic Critical Mineral, which is 100% imported in the entire country. Fluorspar’s classification as a Critical Mineral in the United States translates to a faster permitting period, enabling mining operations to initiate more quickly than operations for conventional minerals.

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.
