"American Rare Earths (ASX: ARR | OTCQX: ARRNF | ADR: AMRRY)"

An American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is a financial certificate that lets investors buy shares of a foreign company through U.S. stock markets, similar to buying a local wrapper that represents the underlying foreign shares. ADRs matter because they make investing in overseas companies easier and more liquid by trading in U.S. dollars and under U.S. market rules, while still carrying currency, regulatory, and country-specific risks that can affect share value.

mine-to-magnet supply chain technical

"to securing the United States’ domestic mine-to-magnet supply chain and building"

A mine-to-magnet supply chain is the full path that takes raw minerals from the ground through refining, processing and component making until they become finished permanent magnets used in things like electric motors and wind turbines. For investors, this chain matters because bottlenecks, processing costs, environmental rules or geopolitical issues at any step can raise costs, limit product availability and affect the profitability and risk profile of companies tied to those magnets — think of it like an assembly line where a delay at one station slows or raises the price of the final product.

DENVER, March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Rare Earths (ASX: ARR | OTCQX: ARRNF | ADR: AMRRY) (“ARR” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has consolidated the roles of President and Chief Executive Officer, with Mr. Mark Wall assuming the combined position effective immediately.

Mr. Wall, who is based in North America, brings extensive mining leadership and project development experience making him ideally placed to lead the Company through its next phase of growth and to focus heavily on project execution.

Commenting on the role consolidation, Mr. Wall said: “The Halleck Creek Project has been my main focus area since joining as CEO. I see massive opportunity to accelerate this project and to be a meaningful contributor to securing the United States’ domestic mine-to-magnet supply chain and building US dominance in the rare earths sector. American Rare Earths can position itself as a very long-term domestic producer integrated into the US mine-to-magnet supply chain. As we find ways to accelerate this project, we will need to focus on the great state of Wyoming, which is a truly world-class location to execute a resource project, while at the same time making the necessary preparations towards a US listing.”

Mr. Wall continued: “In parallel, we are preparing to conduct a Whole of Property Assessment of the greater American Rare Earths Halleck Creek 2.63 billion tonne resource¹ to understand what the overall development plan may look like, and concurrently we are undertaking a detailed Opportunity Assessment of the La Paz property in Arizona where one of the focus areas will be reviewing other mineral opportunities such as copper and gold in this prolific district. I am also busy building and streamlining the team to move this project forward with speed.”

The Board of ARR believes that unifying the President and CEO roles under Mr. Wall’s leadership will enhance strategic alignment, sharpen decision-making and support the rapid advancement of Halleck Creek as a key future source of US-based rare earth supply.
