Ares Mining Clears Final Hurdle for Full-Scale Fluorspar Production

Ares Strategic Mining completes critical ventilation system at Utah fluorspar mine, clearing final regulatory hurdle for full-scale production of this US-designated critical mineral.

This development matters because fluorspar is designated as a critical mineral by the U.S. government, essential for manufacturing everything from aluminum and steel to lithium-ion batteries and nuclear fuel. With Ares Strategic Mining becoming the only operational fluorspar producer in the United States, this achievement reduces American dependence on foreign sources for a mineral crucial to modern technology and national security. The successful activation of the ventilation system enables industrial-scale production that could stabilize supply chains for multiple industries while creating domestic jobs and supporting the transition to clean energy technologies that rely on fluorspar-derived components.
