The exchange ratio is set at 3.46073 common shares and 0.57679 Series A Preferred shares of CGrowth Capital for each AIC share held. Each Series A Preferred share has an initial conversion ratio of 1,256 common shares. The distribution will be made to AIC shareholders of record as of December 31, 2024. CGrowth Capital will be renamed to American Infrastructure Holding Corporation, focusing on supplying raw materials to the infrastructure market, including iron ore, titanium, and metallurgical carbon.

ReElement Technologies, a subsidiary of American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC), has appointed Anthony Carroll to the Board of Directors of ReElement Technologies Africa Ltd. Carroll brings over 40 years of experience in U.S.-Africa trade, policy, and investment. As a nonresident scholar with the Carnegie Africa Program and founding managing director of Acorus Capital, Carroll's expertise will guide ReElement's partnerships in Africa. ReElement's technology offers a modular, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly approach to refining rare earth and critical battery elements, using patented chromatographic separation instead of toxic acids. The company aims to establish local refining facilities across Africa for processing lithium, cobalt, nickel, niobium, and rare earth elements, focusing on creating value chains and long-term partnerships while supporting both African and U.S. interests.

American Resources Corporation's (NASDAQ:AREC) subsidiary, Electrified Materials Corp (EMCO), has secured a crucial Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit from the EPA and IDEM. This permit enables EMCO to preprocess and recycle end-of-life lithium-ion batteries and rare earth magnets at its Noblesville, Indiana site. The company will process materials from sources like wind turbines, EV motors, and consumer electronics to produce critical mineral concentrates. These will be supplied to ReElement Technologies for refinement into high-purity (99.5% to 99.999%) materials for domestic defense and commercial supply chains. The initiative is supported by a $900,000+ grant from Indiana and represents a comprehensive circular lifecycle solution for critical materials recycling in the United States.

American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) and its subsidiary ReElement Technologies will participate in a virtual critical minerals conference hosted by Maxim Group LLC on May 6th, 2025. The conference, focusing on critical minerals projects, will feature ReElement's presentation at 4 p.m. EST among 18 other publicly traded companies. ReElement Technologies specializes in high-performance refining of rare earth and critical battery elements through its multi-mineral, multi-feedstock platform technology. The company processes recycled materials from rare earth permanent magnets, lithium-ion batteries, concentrated ores, and coal-based waste streams. American Resources operates in the critical mineral supply chain, focusing on metallurgical carbon, iron ore, rare earth minerals, and recycled metals for the electrification market.

American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) and its subsidiary ReElement Technologies have reaffirmed their commitment to U.S. critical mineral independence through their modular, multi-mineral refining platform. The company is currently the only U.S.-based solution capable of economically separating both heavy and light rare earth elements.

ReElement is actively producing magnet-grade rare earth oxides daily, addressing the critical bottleneck in global mineral supply chain through cost-effective midstream processing. Their achievements include reaching 99.5%+ purity levels for various elements including neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium oxides.

The announcement comes as China has implemented new export restrictions on rare earth minerals including samarium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, lutetium, scandium, and yttrium-related compounds as of April 3, 2025. ReElement's proprietary LAD chromatography technology offers advantages in environmental safety, lower capital expenditures, and scalable processing capacity.

American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) has announced a significant expansion of rare earth oxide production at its ReElement Technologies' Noblesville facility. The company has completed Phase 2 expansion in April 2025, doubling its daily production capacity of high-purity (99.5%+) light and heavy rare earth oxides.

The expansion demonstrates ReElement's unique modular refining platform, which is currently the only U.S.-based scalable solution for economically separating both heavy and light rare earth elements. Phase 2 was completed in under 3 weeks, while Phase 3 is scheduled for completion by May/June, expected to triple production levels compared to Phase 2.

The facility processes key rare earth elements including neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy), and terbium (Tb). This expansion comes in response to surging demand for domestically sourced rare earth oxides, particularly following recent global trade shifts and executive orders by President Trump supporting U.S. mineral independence.

American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) has unveiled a groundbreaking mobile modular rare earth leaching solution to extract valuable materials from coal and mine waste. The company plans to deploy this technology across its 30,000-acre property and offer licensing options globally.

Through its ReElement Technologies division, the company has demonstrated successful economic recovery of magnet-grade rare earth elements (Nd, NdPr, and Dy) from coal waste, along with valuable byproducts like High Purity Alumina and Silicon Dioxide. Initial testing showed concentration of over 500 ppm of rare earth content in their West Virginia property.

The company is evaluating capitalization strategies, including a Form D offering and potential tokenized platform. ReElement is currently the only U.S. company producing both heavy and light rare earth oxides at magnet-grade purity, using a proprietary refining process that requires fewer chemicals and lower capital costs.
