DISCLOSURE AND FORWARD-LOOKINGSTATEMENTS:

Companies typically rely oncomprehensive feasibility reports on mineral reserve estimates toreduce the risks and uncertainties associated with a productiondecision. Historically, situations where the issuer decides to put amineral project into production without first establishing mineralreserves supported by a technical report and completing a feasibilitystudy have a higher risk of economic or technical failure, though someindustrial mineral ventures are relatively simple operations with lowlevels of investment and risk, where the operating entity hasdetermined that a formal prefeasibility or feasibility study inconformance with NI 43-101 and 43-101 CP is not required for aproduction decision. Based on historical engineering work, geologicalreports, historical production data and current engineering workcompleted or in the process by Ares, the Company intends to moveforward with the development of its Utah asset.
