American Resources' Affiliated Holding ReElement Technologies Provides Progress Update on Marion, Indiana Rare Earth and Critical Mineral Refining CampusJune 22, 2026 7:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireInitial Germanium Production Line Advancing Toward Commercial Operations in Third Quarter 2026, On Time and Under BudgetFour-Line Phase 1 Buildout Expected to Provide More Than 16,000 Metric Tons of Annual High-Purity Rare Earth and Critical Mineral Refining CapacityFISHERS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / June 22, 2026 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) ("American Resources") today provided a progress update on the Phase 1 buildout of the Marion, Indiana rare earth and critical mineral refining campus being developed by its affiliated minority holding, ReElement Technologies Corporation ("ReElement").ReElement is advancing a refining-first, multi-element and multi-feedstock platform designed to produce high-purity rare earth and critical mineral products from recycled materials, industrial byproducts, manufacturing scrap and primary feedstocks. The Marion campus is the commercial-scale deployment of work ReElement has spent more than four years validating at its Noblesville, Indiana commercial qualification facility, where the Company has demonstrated process performance, product quality and feedstock flexibility across a growing range of strategic materials.The first commercial production line planned for Marion is focused on germanium and related strategic materials from recycled and primary sources. A majority of the key equipment required for the initial germanium line is on site or currently being delivered and assembled, with the Company targeting commercial operations during the third quarter of 2026.Mark Jensen, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of ReElement Technologies and American Resources Corporation, commented, "ReElement is not building a legacy refining facility around one mine, one feedstock or one product. We are building a modular, multi-element, multi-feedstock refining platform designed to compete in the global market on quality, cost, speed and flexibility."The critical mineral industry has spent decades accepting the idea that rare earth and critical mineral refining must be capital intensive, chemically burdensome, dependent on a single geography and subsidized indefinitely. We do not believe that model is sustainable or necessary. ReElement's refining-first platform is designed to leapfrog that legacy approach by deploying demand-aligned commercial production lines that can process recycled and primary feedstocks into high-purity products for defense, technology, energy and advanced manufacturing customers."Our Marion campus is the commercial-scale deployment of work that has already been validated at Noblesville. The Phase 1 buildout consists of four dedicated production lines with aggregate annual capacity of more than 16,000 metric tons of high-purity rare earth and critical mineral products once fully commissioned. We are building this capacity to serve real customer demand, create domestic and allied supply chain options and compete economically without requiring the market to wait years for traditional mine-to-magnet projects to become operational."ReElement's advantage is not simply capacity. It is the ability to produce multiple strategic materials from multiple feedstocks using a more modular and cost-efficient process. That flexibility allows us to respond to market demand, localize refining closer to supply and customers, and continue expanding capacity as commercial opportunities develop in the United States and globally."A New Model for Domestic and Allied RefiningReElement's refining-first platform is designed to address one of the largest bottlenecks in the rare earth and critical mineral supply chain: scalable, cost-conscious separation and purification capacity.Traditional solvent extraction systems are often designed around specific feedstocks and require large, fixed infrastructure, substantial chemical consumption and cost, and complex operating systems. Those systems can be difficult to deploy economically outside of China, particularly in markets where chemical costs, environmental compliance, labor costs and permitting timelines are materially different.ReElement's chromatography-based refining platform is designed to provide a different path. The Company's approach uses modular production lines that can be configured around specific feedstocks, customer requirements and target products. ReElement's platform is designed to process diverse recycled and primary inputs, including rare earth permanent magnet material, industrial and defense waste streams, manufacturing scrap, battery materials, mixed rare earth carbonates, mixed rare earth oxides and other critical mineral-bearing materials.This refining-first model enables ReElement to align commercial capacity with actual customer demand and available feedstocks rather than constructing a single, fixed facility that must depend on one mine, one material stream or one end market. The Company's Noblesville facility has served as the commercial qualification foundation for that model, allowing ReElement to validate feedstock-specific process conditions and produce high-purity products for customers and strategic partners before deploying dedicated commercial-scale lines at Marion.Marion Campus and Strategic Logistics PositionThe Marion refining campus is located on approximately 42 acres and includes more than 400,000 square feet of industrial space. Phase 1 is expected to utilize approximately 160,000 to 200,000 square feet as production lines are installed and commissioned, with additional space available for future expansion as customer demand, feedstock opportunities and product requirements develop.The campus also includes a foundation-ready pad of approximately 250,000 square feet that may support future production, preprocessing, metallization or related strategic development. ReElement has renovated substantial portions of the facility for more than a year with the support of local contractors, tradespeople and community partners.The site provides meaningful logistics advantages, including approximately 36 truck loading bays, truck access into the building and on-site rail loading capability. These features are expected to support the efficient movement of equipment, feedstocks, supplies, components and finished products as ReElement scales production.Phase 1 development is expected to create approximately 100 advanced manufacturing, engineering, technical and support positions, with the potential to create up to approximately 300 jobs as the campus expands through future phases.Phase 1 Production Lines and CapacityCommercial Production Deployment Expected from the Third Quarter of 2026 Through the First Quarter of 2027Phase 1 of the Marion campus represents a four-line, multi-feedstock commercial refining platform designed to process both recycled materials and primary concentrates. Once fully commissioned, the four planned production lines are expected to provide aggregate annual capacity of more than 16,000 metric tons of high-purity separated rare earth and critical mineral products.Each production line is designed around specific feedstocks, product specifications and customer requirements while sharing certain site infrastructure and operating capabilities to support efficiency, flexibility and phased expansion. Production capacity is expected to be deployed in stages beginning in the third quarter of 2026 and continuing through the first quarter of 2027.Germanium, Gallium and Strategic Materials LineThe initial Marion production line is designed to focus on germanium, gallium and related strategic materials from recycled and primary sources. Germanium is used in defense optics, optical fiber, semiconductor applications, advanced optics and other critical technologies.ReElement has resumed daily commercial production of germanium dioxide at its Noblesville facility, restoring a strategic product capability that has not existed at commercial scale in the United States for decades. The Marion line is designed to expand that capability through dedicated commercial-scale production.Capacity: More than 500 metric tons annually at 99.5% purity or greater.Specialty Hard Products Recycling LineThis production line is designed to process thermal barrier coatings and specialty recycled materials containing yttrium, gadolinium, zirconium, samarium, cobalt and other strategic elements used in aerospace, defense, industrial and advanced technology applications.Capacity: More than 2,000 metric tons annually at 99.9% to 99.99% purity.Rare Earth Elements - Recycled Feedstocks LineThis production line is designed to process magnet-grade rare earth elements from recycled feedstocks, including magnet swarf, hard drives, electric vehicle motors, wind turbine magnets and industrial scrap.Target Products: Neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium.Capacity: Up to 7,000 metric tons annually at 99.5% purity or greater.Rare Earth Elements - Primary Feedstocks LineThis production line is designed to process mixed rare earth carbonates, mixed rare earth oxides and other primary concentrates sourced from domestic and allied supply chains.Target Products: Neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium, yttrium, gadolinium, samarium and other rare earth and critical mineral products.Capacity: Up to 7,000 metric tons annually at 99.5% to 99.999% purity.Permitting and Responsible Facility DevelopmentReElement is advancing the Marion campus through a deliberate, phased development process that aligns equipment, feedstocks, product specifications, customer requirements and applicable permits for each production line.The Company has taken a proactive approach to facility readiness and permitting because its platform is designed to process multiple feedstocks and produce a broad range of rare earth and critical mineral products over time. Rather than waiting until each individual customer opportunity or production line is fully developed, ReElement is working with the appropriate state and local agencies to ensure that the Marion campus is positioned to support both current operations and future commercial expansion.This approach reflects the flexibility of ReElement's multi-element, multi-feedstock platform. Different materials, equipment configurations and production lines may require different operating controls, approvals or permits as the campus expands. ReElement is building the physical, operating and regulatory foundation needed to support that growth responsibly and efficiently.The Company appreciates the engagement and support of Governor Braun, the State of Indiana, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, Mayor Morrell, the City of Marion and local community stakeholders as ReElement advances domestic refining capacity for commercial, defense, energy and advanced technology markets.Customer Demand and Commercial ModelReElement is working with a broad range of customers and strategic partners across defense, technology, materials science, advanced manufacturing, optical products, semiconductors, industrial applications and energy markets.The Company's customers and partners are seeking solutions for materials ranging from recycled permanent magnets, battery materials and technology scrap to specialty industrial residues, defense-related materials and primary rare earth concentrates. ReElement's model is designed to provide customers with a domestic and allied alternative for refining complex materials into high-purity products that can be returned to their supply chains or directed into new commercial markets.On recycled feedstocks, ReElement is already producing and delivering separated and purified products at purities ranging from 99.5% to 99.999%, depending on the material and product specification. In appropriate circumstances, the Company may provide tolling or processing services that return refined products to customers at pricing structures linked to the applicable market value of the recovered elements and the nature of the incoming feedstock.Platform AdvantagesReElement's refining-first platform is designed to provide:Modular and scalable refining capacity;Multi-element, multi-feedstock processing flexibility;Demand-aligned production capacity built around specific customer requirements;The ability to process both recycled and primary materials;The ability to localize refining closer to feedstock sources and end markets;Lower capital intensity and a smaller physical footprint than many conventional refining systems;Reduced chemical, energy and labor intensity relative to legacy solvent extraction approaches; andA pathway to produce high-purity, specification-grade rare earth and critical mineral products for domestic and allied supply chains.Jensen concluded, "The critical mineral market does not need another announcement about capacity that may take a decade to develop. It needs refining capacity that can be built, qualified and deployed against real customer demand. That is what ReElement is delivering through Noblesville, Marion and our expanding network of commercial and strategic partners. We intend to demonstrate that rare earths and critical minerals can be refined at globally competitive economics in the United States, while building a more resilient, more flexible and more commercially sustainable supply chain. We believe our platform is the innovation needed to position the United States as a world leader in critical minerals."About ReElement Technologies CorporationReElement Technologies Corporation, a minority holding of American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC), is a leading provider of high-performance refining capacity for rare earth elements and critical minerals.

Publicly trading ReElement, (and the 12% or 13%) of ownership will create great profit to the AREC share price, let alone the value of RE by itself to us long-term shareholders. They would be talking about our company with the value of the Rare Earth materials for car, batteries, military, and everything technology wise, every day on the financial news stations. What logical reason can anybody think of that our CEO will not start trading ReEement?

Setting up nicely. $2.48

Looks like a decent target to $3.20 imo. Been a nice swing play here and there.

This looks like a dilution machine 

Maybe it is like it is cause it’s trash ?All good news last days caused nothing.Looks like dilution.Don’t know.Just thinking

Incredible news for everybody who is following Rare Earth, the future demand, but also all of the potential hurdles China can impose. They essentially can shut so much of our technology and military machinery completely down.

Imagine if there was a stock that does what ReElement has and is publicly traded! They would be talking about it on the financial news stations every day the way they are Nvidia and Intel, and others He has been great as the CEO but it has been offset by not making the stock public and rewarding us long-term shareholders that have helped keep the lights on for many years.

Why are the BOD’s not doing their due diligence to protect the shareholders?
There is a great CEO leading the leader of technology named Jenson Huang. For not making RE public, our CEO is Jenson Wrong.

ReElement Technologies Achieves Historic U.S.-Based Tungsten Separation and Purification Capability Critical to National DefenseMay 26, 2026 8:35 AM
ACCESS NewswireReElement successfully processes 28% tungsten concentrate from international mining partners into 99.9% purity material, expanding its multi-mineral refining platform across another strategic materialAmerican Resources continues to collaborate with global partners to source tungsten-bearing feedstocks for ReElement's refining platformFISHERS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / May 26, 2026 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) ("American Resources"), through its affiliated minority holding in ReElement Technologies Corporation ("ReElement"), a leading U.S.-based innovator of high-performance rare earth and critical mineral refining, today announced another landmark technical achievement in the separation and purification of tungsten from mined material supplied by international mining partners.ReElement successfully processed tungsten concentrate grading approximately 28% tungsten into purified material achieving 99.9% purity, establishing what is believed to be one of the only demonstrated domestic capability in the United States for commercially viable tungsten and demonstrating another important capability within its multi-mineral, multi-feedstock refining platform. The achievement represents a meaningful advancement toward establishing domestic and allied refining optionality for tungsten, one of the most strategically important materials used across the U.S. defense and commercial industrial base."This is another defining moment for ReElement and for America's strategic material independence," said Mark Jensen, CEO and Chairman of ReElement Technologies. "Tungsten is essential to the defense industrial base, yet the U.S. remains heavily reliant on foreign-controlled supply chains for refined material. ReElement has now demonstrated that its platform can separate and purify tungsten from mined concentrate to 99.9%+ purity. While tungsten is not part of our initial Phase 1 Marion buildout, this achievement gives us a clear pathway to add tungsten refining capacity as customer demand, prepayments, and commercial commitments justify expansion."Tungsten is valued for its exceptional hardness, density, high melting point, and heat resistance. It is used across defense and advanced industrial applications, including armor-piercing munitions, missile systems, aerospace components, hypersonic technologies, military electronics, advanced manufacturing, and high-performance tooling. Despite its strategic importance, the United States has limited domestic refining capacity for tungsten, creating a vulnerability in the defense industrial base and broader manufacturing supply chain."This is not simply about tungsten," said Mark LaVerghetta, Co-Founder and board executive nominee to ReElement. "This is about ensuring the United States and its allies can access, refine, and control the materials that underpin national defense, technological leadership, advanced manufacturing, and industrial security. ReElement's refining-first model provides a new approach - one that we have already commercialized across critical minerals and is designed to scale with evolving markets, rather than replicating fixed, legacy, single-source systems that have proven unsustainable, high-risk, capital intensive, environmentally burdensome, and difficult to deploy."ReElement's tungsten campaign further validates the versatility of its proprietary chromatography-based separation and purification platform. The platform is designed to process a broad range of rare earth and critical mineral feedstocks, enabling a more flexible, modular, and scalable approach to domestic refining than conventional methods that often rely on large-scale, fixed infrastructure and significant chemical consumption.American Resources continues to collaborate with global feedstock partners to identify, source, and aggregate tungsten-bearing materials and other strategic mineral inputs that can be refined through ReElement's platform. This model positions American Resources as a gateway between upstream feedstock supply and downstream demand, while leveraging ReElement's refining capability to help address critical gaps in the U.S. and allied mineral supply chain.The successful tungsten purification campaign comes at a time when geopolitical instability and concentrated foreign control of critical mineral processing continue to expose vulnerabilities across defense, energy, electronics, and advanced manufacturing markets. ReElement's ability to expand its refining platform into tungsten demonstrates the broader value of a multi-mineral refining-first ecosystem capable of adapting to urgent national security and commercial needs.ReElement, a privately funded domestic refiner, continues to engage with commercial partners, government stakeholders, and defense industry participants to expand domestic refining capabilities for rare earth elements and critical minerals essential to America's economic and national security priorities.About ReElement Technologies CorporationReElement Technologies Corporation, a minority holding of American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC), is a leading provider of high-performance refining capacity for rare earth elements and critical minerals. Its refining-first, multi-mineral, multi-feedstock platform is designed to process a wide range of inputs - including recycled materials from permanent magnets, lithium-ion batteries, and industrial, defense, and technology waste streams, as well as mined ores, brines, and coal-based byproducts - into high-purity products that support a cost-effective, environmentally responsible, and circular supply chain.ReElement's innovative and scalable "Powered by ReElement" process leverages its exclusively licensed and internally developed intellectual property, integrating directly into partners' material processing flowsheets to enhance efficiency and adaptability across the global critical mineral supply chain.

I don’t know why they do what they do, but they are not able to publish numbers in time.That alone shows that they are not much interested in their shareholders.And it’s also a fact that there’s much blablabla around rare earths and minerals, but maybe it’s to early to be invested in.

The world needs Rare Earth materials, and our spin-off ReElement is a Rare US company that can provide them, and Jensen Wrong refuses to support the longtime shareholders by trading the stock! Why??????

It’s sliding since October.No numbers since November.Looks like a joke. 

Will they publish numbers any time soon ?Will there come a nice surprise along ?Or a bad awakening 🤔

Nice comment.I also think it will go down more.

Silly assed comment but I expect that from a garden variety TDS goofball. Do you suppose Nancy Pelosi made her 130 million following Trump around? I sold this @ $6.70 last October without instructions from the White House.. will give it another look once it drops below a buck.

Oops 😬 Looks like webcast is not that hit.Yeah, webcastcorporations are mostly do not well for long

Okey, no numbers today means bye bye Nasdaq😉👍

It’s almost going down. When it jumps it’s going lower immediately, when it falls it falls more. At the end always lower.

American Resources' Electrified Materials Expands Processing Capacity to Scale Domestic Circular Supply Chain for Rare Earth Elements and Critical MineralsMarch 6, 2026 8:15 AM
ACCESS NewswireNew equipment increases processing capacity for magnets, copper, aluminum and ferrous metals while supplying conditioned rare earth feedstocks to ReElement Technologies for ultra-pure refiningExpansion will be supported by a private capital raise at the EMCO subsidiary level, as well as a State of Indiana recycling grantFISHERS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / March 6, 2026 / American Resources Corporation ("American Resources") (NASDAQ:AREC) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Electrified Materials Corporation ("EMCO"), an innovative recycler of metals and minerals, has expanded its pre-processing capabilities through the procurement of additional equipment and processing capacity at its Indiana facility.The new processing line expands EMCO's ability to aggregate, process and condition magnet materials, copper, aluminum and ferrous metals recovered from end-of-life products and manufacturing scrap. These materials include rare earth element ("REE") and critical mineral feedstocks that will be conditioned into optimal forms for refining.Conditioned rare earth and critical mineral materials will be supplied to ReElement Technologies Corporation ("ReElement") for advanced separation, purification and refining into ultra-high-purity rare earth oxides (REO), which are then supplied to downstream manufacturing partners supporting electrification, defense and advanced manufacturing markets.The expansion responds to increasing volumes of recycled feedstocks being received by EMCO and growing market demand for domestically produced high-purity rare earth oxides. EMCO's near-term expansion is expected to be supported by a private capital raise at the subsidiary level pursuant to Regulation D, as well as previously announced recycling grant initiatives from the State of Indiana. The capital raise is intended to support the continued scaling of EMCO's processing capacity in anticipation of a planned spin-off of Electrified Materials into a stand-alone publicly listed company on a national exchange.Mark Jensen, Chairman and CEO of American Resources Corporation commented, "This expansion represents another important step toward establishing the first fully domestic circular supply chain for rare earth elements. Electrified Materials focuses on the aggregation and pre-processing of critical mineral and rare earth feedstocks, while ReElement provides advanced separation and refining capabilities to produce ultra-high-purity materials. Together, these platforms create a scalable and efficient life-cycle solution for critical minerals within the United States."Advancing a Domestic Circular Rare Earth Supply ChainElectrified Materials' expansion reflects increasing demand for domestic recycling and recovery solutions capable of processing rare earth and critical mineral materials contained in modern technologies.These materials are commonly found in industries and products including:electric vehicles and e-mobility platformswind turbines and renewable energy infrastructuree-waste and electronics recyclingdata centers and hard disk drivesenergy storage systems and lithium-ion batteriesconsumer electronics and industrial power tools•While the recycling industry plays a critical role in material recovery, rare earth recycling remains highly fragmented. Traditional recycling platforms often lack the downstream refining capabilities required to fully capture and process rare earth elements.As a result, many recovered materials either:are exported overseas for further refining and separationrequire costly in-house refining investments that are often economically unsustainableor fail to capture rare earth elements during processing, resulting in lost material valueA New Model for Critical Mineral RecyclingElectrified Materials and ReElement represent a new integrated approach to recycling and refining critical minerals.Electrified Materials focuses on scaling aggregation, pre-processing and conditioning capacity to meet increasing feedstock volumes. These conditioned materials are then processed through ReElement's proprietary multi-mineral, multi-feedstock refining platform.ReElement's patented chromatography-based separation and purification technology addresses one of the largest chokepoints in the global critical mineral supply chain: economically viable, scalable and environmentally responsible refining.By integrating Electrified Materials' recycling capabilities with ReElement's advanced refining platform, American Resources continues to build a fully domestic circular life-cycle solution for rare earth elements and critical minerals."The recycling industry remains highly fragmented, but we believe Electrified Materials' collaborative model positions the Company to become a leader in circular supply chain solutions for rare earth elements and critical minerals," Jensen added. "By combining efficient material recovery with innovative refining technologies, we are building a scalable platform that supports domestic manufacturing and strengthens U.S. mineral independence."Strategic Development of Electrified Materials PlatformThe Company continues to evaluate strategic opportunities to further expand Electrified Materials as a dedicated platform focused on the recycling, pre-processing and circular supply of critical minerals and rare earth elements. As part of this strategy, American Resources is advancing plans to position EMCO as an independent growth platform with its own capital structure to support future expansion initiatives. The Company believes this approach will provide greater strategic flexibility to scale Electrified Materials' operations while supporting the development of a fully domestic circular supply chain for rare earth elements and critical minerals.About Electrified Materials CorporationElectrified Materials Corporation ("EMCO") is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC).

ACCESS NewswireNew patent filing advances intellectual property for separation and purification of lithium from lithium-bearing brinesTechnology has been field-tested alongside membrane-based concentration systems, feeding into ReElement's proprietary final stage purification and high-purity outputFISHERS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / March 3, 2026 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) ("American Resources" or the "Company") through its minority holding in ReElement Technologies Corporation ("ReElement"), a leading U.S. innovator in rare earth element (REE) and critical mineral refining, today announced the filing of a new patent application designed to complement Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) processes for the production of ultra-high-purity lithium products from lithium-bearing brines.This newly filed patent expands ReElement's intellectual property portfolio and reflects its continued leadership in advancing innovative, modular, and environmentally responsible refining technologies. The filing represents ReElement's eighth next-generation patent application, with additional filings currently in development.Integrating Innovation with Direct Lithium ExtractionReElement has been actively collaborating with DLE operators focused on extracting and concentrating lithium from low-concentration aqueous brines. Through these collaborations, it became evident that ReElement's advanced proprietary chromatography-based separation and purification platform integrates seamlessly within DLE process flows.While DLE technologies efficiently extract and concentrate lithium from brines, ReElement's refining platform is uniquely positioned to convert those concentrated streams into high-purity, battery-grade lithium products. The combination enhances overall process efficiency, reduces cost, optimizes recovery, and improves final product purity."Many in the market view emerging refining technologies as competitive alternatives," said Mark Jensen, CEO of ReElement Technologies. "Our approach has always been complementary. DLE works exceptionally well at extraction and concentration from brines, and our chromatography platform works exceptionally well at separation and purification. When integrated, the result is a more efficient, scalable, and economically competitive pathway to battery-grade lithium."A Complementary Model for a More Competitive Supply ChainReElement's multi-mineral, multi-feedstock refining platform was designed to be adaptable across diverse upstream inputs. For lithium, these including brine, hard rock, recycled black mass, and other lithium-bearing feedstocks. This flexibility allows the Company to support innovation across the full value chain rather than compete against it.Continued Commitment to R&D and Mineral IndependenceThe filing of this patent underscores ReElement's commitment to reinvesting in research and development to address one of the most critical chokepoints in the global supply chain: separation, purification, and refining.Global refining capacity remains highly concentrated, with legacy solvent-based systems dominating in regions outside the United States. ReElement's chromatography-based refining model provides a cleaner, lower-chemical, lower-footprint alternative capable of being deployed domestically and across allied nations."We believe supply chain challenges must be solved through innovation - not imitation," Jensen added. "Our platform brings meaningful advancement to the separation and purification segment of the supply chain, where geopolitical concentration has historically created vulnerability. By complementing upstream technologies like DLE, we are building a stronger, more resilient, and economically competitive domestic rare earth and critical mineral ecosystem."Expanding a Strategic Intellectual Property PortfolioThis filing marks ReElement's eighth next-generation patent application and continues the Company's systematic expansion of proprietary technologies across rare earth and critical mineral refining. Additional patent applications are currently in development as part of a broader strategy to secure U.S. and allied-nation mineral independence and long-term sustainability.A New Model for Domestic and Allied-Nation Refining CapacityReElement's refining platform can be sited quickly, occupies a fraction of the footprint of traditional refineries, and achieves ultra-high-purity outputs with dramatically reduced environmental impact. This enables:rapid deployment for domestic or allied-nation supply chainsco-location with mining or concentration assetsreduced capital and operating costscleaner, solvent-free processing compatible with U.S. environmental standardsscalable production of battery-grade lithium and other high-purity rare earth and critical materialsAbout ReElement Technologies CorporationReElement Technologies Corporation, a portfolio company of American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC), is a leading provider of high-performance refining capacity for rare earth and critical battery elements.
