Ares Strategic Mining Inc. announced it has received the remaining assay results from its delineation drilling program at its Utah fluorspar mine. Ares has successfully located and confirmed additional fluorspar mineralization within its permitted mining area, which will be included in its primary mining operation for 2021. A total of 10 reverse circulation drill holes, drilling approximately 875 meters, were collared between the two known fluorspar deposits on the Company's permitted mining area. Fluorspar mineralization was consistent throughout the entire area, connecting the large fluorspar deposits examined during two previous drill programs in 2020. Drilling was directed under the shallower part of the Purple Pit, where large areas of unmined fluorspar mineralization were intersected, proving an additional 60 m of high- grade fluorspar. These fluorspar pipes remain open at depth. Drill Holes LS-20-27 and LS-20-28 intersected a very shallow zone of fluorspar mineralization at surface, that extends 20m x 10m in plan view and 30m down dip. Hole LS-20-27 averaged 25.91 m of 51.42% CaF2 over an interval from 6.1 to 32.0 meters down hole. Hole LS-20-28 averaged 12.19 m of 45.46% CaF2 over an interval from 9.14 to 21.33 m down hole and 6.1 m of 63.27% CaF2 from 33.52 to 39.62 m down hole. Drill holes LS-20-24 and LS-20-25 (Section 2) test the down dip projection of the fluorspar mineralization left at the bottom of the Purple Pit and successfully intercepted mineralization over 50 meters beneath the historic pit floor. The zone remains open at depth. In this section the main pipe appears to split into two zones, indicating a smaller pod to the west of the main pipe that intersected 3.05 m of 43.9% CaF2 from 74.67 to 77.72m. Drill hole LS-20-25 also intersected fluorspar mineralization in the main pipe that returned 59.33% CaF2 over 9.14 m from 59.44 to 68.58 m down hole, including a high grade zone at 60.96 to 65.53 m down hole (4.57 m of 84.33% CaF2). Drill hole LS-20-24 undercut LS-20-25 and intersected the main mineralized below the Purple Pit returning 43.77% over 19.81 m from 77.72 to 97.54 m down hole (including a high grade sub-interval of 3.05 m of 94.58% CaF2 from 83.82 to 86.87 m down hole). The upper part of hole LS-20-24 intersected a thin zone of fluorite mineralization also found in drill holes LS-20-27 and LS-20-28, and returned 4.57 m of 36.50% CaF2 from 62.48 to 67.06 m down hole. Drill holes LS-20-23 and LS-20-26 (Section 3) also show over a 50 meters extension of fluorspar mineralization from the Purple Pit floor and mineralization remains open at depth. Fluorspar mineralization is very homogeneous in both the upper intersect in hole LS-20-26 from 41.15 to 57.91 m down hole averaging 45.40% CaF2 over 16.76 m (including 4.57 m of 81% CaF2). Drill hole LS-20- 23 undercut the previous hole and intersected strong fluorspar mineralization from 53.34 to 77.72 m down hole averaging 24.77% CaF2 over 24.4 m, including a high-grade interval of 4.57 m of 73.83% CaF2. The true width of the fluorspar mineralization in these areas range between 10 and 15 meters.
