Ares Strategic Mining Secures Non-Dilutive Funding Through Sharing Agreements

Vancouver, B.C. — July 8, 2025 — NewsWall — Ares Strategic Mining Inc. has announced an increase in cash through its Sharing Agreements with Sorbie Bornholm LP, providing growth capital without issuing new shares, thus avoiding dilution for existing shareholders.

The latest monthly settlement shows a +12% cash gain from Sharing Agreement 1 and a +31% cash gain from Sharing Agreement 2. This milestone strengthens Ares’ financial position as it advances its Lost Sheep Fluorspar Project, the only fluorspar mine in the United States. With $11 million in government support and backing from strategic partners, Ares aims to become the U.S.’s sole domestic producer of fluorspar, a mineral crucial for steelmaking, clean energy, semiconductors, and manufacturing.

James Walker, President and CEO of Ares Strategic Mining, stated that the non-dilutive funding reflects the confidence partners have in Ares’ vision. He added that the strengthened cash position allows acceleration of site development, plant construction, and mine advancement while preserving shareholder value.

Ares’ strategy combines funding structures, government support, and operational execution to fill a gap in the North American mineral supply chain, with construction advancing and mining operations ramping up towards near-term production.
