Ares Strategic Mining Completes Multi Year Drilling Program Planning for Utah Fluorspar Project

  • A multi-month exploration project identifies over 160 drill targets.
  • Fluorspar anomaly pattern identified and mapped across 13km of Ares’ claims.
  • Fluorspar pipe clusters discovered which indicate strong open pit potential.
  • Company will commission radiometric airborne survey to add definition to discovered trends.

 

Vancouver, B.C – January 21, 2022 — Ares Strategic Mining Ltd. (CSE: ARS) (OTCQB:ARSMF) (FRA: N8I1) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Ares geological team has completed a generative drill target program to provide the Company with exploration targets for the upcoming years. The program is the first phase of a multi-year development plan which will run concurrently with the anticipated mining operation, which is designed to identify the sites for its subsequent operations.

 

Figure 1 delineates the areas exhibiting fluorspar surface showings, and breccias indicating near-surface targets, in conjunction with structures bearing geological evidence for additional fluorspar mineralizations. When compiled this amalgamated information demonstrates a consistent trend across the whole Spor Mountain Range, all of which fall into Ares’ claim areas. Certain areas have exhibited high numbers of pipes clustered within tight spacings, providing evidence for larger fluorspar mineralized zones possibly connecting at shallow depth with strong open-pit potential. The tight target spacings across the Spor Mountain Range length indicates that an airborne radiometric survey can now be justified across the entire Spor Mountain area, which is expected to add definition and unveil new possible mineralized zones adding continuity between the already mapped fluorspar outcrops and past producing mines.

Figure 2 shows the current drill targets which are selected and prioritized from the recently completed large-scale mapping exploration work across the Spor Mountain Range. More targets are expected to be added to the list as detailed work progresses in some prioritized initial targets to acquire greater definition. The permitted Lost Sheep mine to the north of the Spor Mountain Range is expected to be the Company’s first mining operation, followed by the Bell Hill site at the South, which contains a large number of surface showings, and which the company has begun permitting for development.

James Walker, President and CEO of the Company said, “The Spor Mountain is famous for its unusual and exotic accessory mineral associations that are part of its geological formations, which we are gradually discovering as we explore the project’s potential. We are looking forward to developing these targets and add definition to our discoveries. The area is attracting a lot of attention from local operations, who are interested in both the minerals present at site–fluorspar and other rare minerals–so we are fortunate to have staked the district and tied up the potential. The Ares geological team have done some excellent mapping and target identification over the recent months, and provided us with many years of fluorspar targets, which we will develop alongside our anticipated operation.”

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. 

 

Certain information in this news release may contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are often identified by terms such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “anticipate”, “expects” and similar expressions.
