10:25 AM EST - Ares Strategic Mining Inc. : Announced that the Company has completed the industrial site design work ahead its planned fluorspar processing operation later this year. The Ares fluorspar processing facility is anticipated to produce predominantly acidspar but will have the capability to produce high-grade metspar when required. The processing facility will accompany the Ares fluorspar metallurgical lump plant, which is anticipated to begin production earlier in the year. Successful metallurgical work by the Company has given operational confidence that an accelerated refinement to acidspar is possible, using fewer cleaning stages, and which are expected to reduce operational costs and processing times. The plant will not use any toxic or deleterious chemicals in its manufacturing processes and will produce no harmful waste products at all. Ares Strategic Mining Inc.
