Ares Strategic Mining Inc. announced the Company has completed its fabrication of its new conveyor belt system for its plant and planned fluorspar manufacturing operation. The belts form part of the mechanisms connecting the various processing stages of the metallurgical lumps plant, a system dedicated to producing specific high quality metspar grade products, in industry preferred form. 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.
