American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) has announced the commissioning of a new state-of-the-art preparative scale sequential simulated moving bed (SSMB) production unit at its ReElement Technologies subsidiary. This marks the third dedicated chromatography operating line at their Noblesville, Indiana facility, significantly expanding their rare earth element purification capacity.
The new equipment enhances the facility's daily refinement capacity for key rare earth elements including neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy), and terbium (Tb) at 99.5%+ purity. ReElement's platform utilizes Ligand Assisted Displacement (LAD) chromatography, offering a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution compared to traditional methods.
The technology provides key advantages including aqueous chemistry eliminating toxic solvents, lower capital expenditures, high versatility across various feedstocks, and modular scalability. ReElement is currently the only rare earth oxide producer economically separating and refining heavy rare earth elements in the U.S.
American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) subsidiary Electrified Materials Corp has secured a $911,519 matching grant from Indiana's Department of Environmental Management's Waste Diversion Project. The grant will support the expansion of recycling infrastructure for rare earth magnets and battery materials.
Electrified Materials specializes in processing used metals and minerals for recycling into steel-based, battery-grade, and magnet-grade products. The company focuses on preprocessing end-of-life waste containing critical minerals from sources like wind turbines, EV motors, lithium-ion batteries, and e-waste. These materials are then supplied to ReElement Technologies for final refinement.
The company has also established a tri-party joint venture with Lohum Cleantech and ReElement Technologies to develop circular magnet-grade and battery-grade mineral processing technology.
American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) and its portfolio company ReElement Technologies participated in a Virtual Investor 'What This Means' segment to discuss their production of rare earth elements and critical minerals.
During the segment, CEO Mark Jensen highlighted the company's focus on cost-effective development of minerals for defense, particularly antimony used in munitions, aimed at displacing international competitors.
ReElement Technologies, as a portfolio company of AREC, specializes in high-performance refining of rare earth and critical battery elements through their proprietary 'Powered by ReElement' process. The company employs a multi-mineral, multi-feedstock platform technology focusing on refining recycled materials from various sources including rare earth permanent magnets, lithium-ion batteries, concentrated ores, and coal-based waste streams.
American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) and its portfolio company ReElement Technologies are advancing critical mineral and rare earth refining capabilities in response to the Trump Administration's commitment to strengthening domestic supply chains. ReElement is currently the only U.S. producer capable of economically separating heavy rare earth elements, challenging China's 99.5% control of global refining capacity.
ReElement operates a Commercial Qualification Plant in Noblesville and is expanding production at its Marion Advanced Technology Center in Indiana. The company employs a proprietary chromatography-based purification process that is more efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional methods. Their technology can process various feedstocks including recycled materials, tailings, and virgin ores to produce high-purity (99.5%+) rare earth oxides and battery minerals.
The company has established global feedstock relationships across North America, Africa, South America, and Australia, focusing on materials such as light and heavy rare earth oxides, battery minerals, and critical defense minerals.
American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) and its portfolio company ReElement Technologies have secured a significant antimony purification contract. ReElement has demonstrated successful refinement of antimony ore (stibnite) to purity levels exceeding 99.7% for antimony(III) sulfide.
The two-year tolling agreement involves processing approximately 500 metric tons of stibnite ore monthly, with initial tolling fees and revenues forecasted to exceed $29 million annually. The contract includes automatic extension options and expansion potential based on domestic demand.
This development positions ReElement as one of the few, if not the only, producers of Antimony(III) sulfide in the United States. The timing is particularly significant following China's December 2024 export ban on critical minerals including antimony. The global Antimony(III) oxide market, valued at $852 million in 2023, is projected to grow at 4.9% CAGR through 2034.
American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) has announced its strategic focus on sourcing coal waste feedstock containing rare earth elements for ReElement Technologies. The company's innovative technology enables economical separation and purification of heavy and light rare earth oxides from coal waste, which traditional methods cannot process effectively.
ReElement Technologies is currently the only U.S. producer of magnet-grade rare earth oxides and has secured agreements with approximately 70% of the planned downstream market in the United States. American Resources has access to over 30,000 acres of controlled land with an estimated 128 million tons of previously extracted waste material across Kentucky, West Virginia, and Indiana.
The company has completed the spin-off of ReElement Technologies and American Infrastructure to shareholders (record date December 31st, 2024). American Resources maintains approximately 19% ownership in ReElement and 9% in American Infrastructure .
American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) announced its participation in the Virtual Investor 'Top 5 for '25' On-Demand Conference. CEO Mark Jensen presented the top five reasons why investors and industry colleagues should focus on the company in 2025.
