ARES STRATEGIC MINING, INC.

ARES STRATEGIC MINING, INC. specializes in the procurement and supply of specialty mineral commodities for government applications, with a demonstrated focus on acid-grade fluorspar (acidspar) under indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts. The company’s core capability centers on the responsible sourcing, quality assurance, and logistical delivery of high-purity fluorspar—a critical industrial mineral used in metallurgical fluxing, hydrofluoric acid production, and advanced manufacturing processes. Their technical expertise includes compliance with stringent material specifications for purity, particle size distribution, and contaminant control, ensuring suitability for defense, aerospace, and nuclear-related supply chains. ARES STRATEGIC MINING distinguishes itself through its ability to deliver consistent, certified mineral feedstock under long-term government procurement frameworks, emphasizing supply chain reliability and regulatory adherence in niche industrial mineral markets. The contractor has established a direct working relationship with the DCSCO Columbus Division #3, supporting defense and industrial mineral requirements through IDIQ vehicle execution. This engagement reflects a focused partnership in securing specialized raw materials essential for national security manufacturing and defense industrial base operations. The primary NAICS code 212390, Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying (except coal and metals), defines the company’s operational scope in the extraction and supply of industrial minerals. ARES STRATEGIC MINING occupies a specialized position in the government supply chain for fluorspar, a mineral with limited domestic producers and strategic importance in high-temperature and chemical processing applications. As a small business structured as a 2L entity, ARES STRATEGIC MINING operates from Delta, Utah, leveraging regional access to mineral resources and logistics infrastructure. The company currently holds no federal certifications, positioning itself as a niche supplier relying on technical capability and contract performance rather than socioeconomic designation. Its geographic presence and market focus align with the U.S. government’s strategic interest in securing domestic sources of critical industrial minerals.
