ARES Mining

ARES Mining is a Vancouver, BC business whose own site puts it this way: "ARES is a mining company that owns the only permitted fluorspar mine in the US and is focused on returning fluorspar manufacturing to North America." Measured against the twelve signals AI engines rely on, it scores 7.4 out of 10, a strong showing.

On its own pages the site does well on a clear heading structure, a clearly stated business identity, crawler access and the files AI engines look for and sitemaps and entity links AI can follow. It is passable on some structured data. What holds it back is credibility markers like credentials or reviews.

Off the page, other sites link to it. There is some, but not much, sign that the domain is only lightly established and it barely surfaces on Reddit. Beyond that, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on and nobody is discussing it where AI engines look. None of that can be fixed on the page: it has to be earned.

AI crawlers have visited once in our tracking, including ClaudeBot (Anthropic). It does link out to several social profiles, which helps engines tie the brand together. The business dates to 2016.
