American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) has secured a 9-month extension of a $150 million Kentucky Industrial Building Revenue Bond Purchase Agreement through its affiliate ReElement Technologies. The bonds support the development of the Kentucky Lithium complex near Kite, Kentucky.
The facility is designed with an initial capacity to produce 15,000 metric tons per year of battery-grade lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide, along with rare earth oxides refining. The project utilizes ReElement's patented multi-modal chromatography technology, achieving 99.96% pure battery-grade Li2CO3 from spodumene ore and 99.5% separated rare earth oxides from mining waste.
Key features include:
- Low carbon footprint operations using solar energy and battery storage
- Brownfield redevelopment of a former coal mining site
- Creation of approximately 113 jobs
- Implementation of Ligand Assisted Displacement (LAD) chromatography for cost-effective and environmentally safe mineral processing
American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) has announced that its subsidiary, Electrified Materials , has completed a important power upgrade at its Noblesville, Indiana facility. The installation of a three-phase power transformer marks a significant operational milestone, enabling the company to proceed with its expansion plans.
The upgrade overcomes previous limitations of single-phase power, allowing for the installation of larger-sized, automated, state-of-the-art shredding equipment for processing end-of-life batteries, magnet materials, and specialty metals. This enhancement is expected to boost automation and productivity at the facility.
The development follows a recent $911,519 matching grant from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, which will support the acquisition of additional shredding equipment and workforce expansion.
