Management continues to expect completion of all outstanding quarterly reports within the current compliance period and intends to regain compliance upon filing these reports.
American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC), through its minority holding in ReElement Technologies, announced participation in two critical minerals conferences this week focused on strengthening domestic and allied critical mineral supply chains and industrial resilience.
The companies will attend the Defense Industrial Base Accelerator 2026 (DIBX 2026) in Philadelphia from August 25–27, 2026, with Mark LaVerghetta and Ben Kincaid available for meetings. They will also engage at the Africa Business Investment Summit at MGM National Harbor, Maryland, from August 27–28, 2026, where ReElement Africa CEO Ben Kincaid will join a featured panel on Africa’s role in U.S. critical minerals supply chains. The announcement highlights American Resources’ and ReElement’s focus on platform-based, modular, and capital-efficient approaches to feedstock origination, processing, and advanced refining to support secure, commercially sustainable critical mineral supply chains.
American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC), through its minority holding in ReElement Technologies, announced the addition of seven experienced professionals to strengthen commercial operations as ReElement advances its Marion, Indiana rare earth and critical mineral refining campus toward multi-element commercial production.
According to the company, the new hires bring backgrounds in large-scale industrial operations, mining and process engineering, advanced chemical research, human resources, international business development and U.S. Navy leadership. ReElement has successfully commissioned its first commercial-scale germanium production column and obtained required air permits for all four initial production lines at Marion, supporting continued installation, commissioning and commercial operation of additional refining capacity.
American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC), through its minority holding in ReElement Technologies, announced that ReElement has received a Minor Source air permit covering all four Phase I production lines at its Marion, Indiana rare earth and critical mineral “Supersite”.
The permit authorizes installation, commissioning and operation of the chromatography-based facility, which is designed to produce high‑purity products including germanium, gallium, neodymium, NdPr, dysprosium, terbium, gadolinium, yttrium and samarium from recycled and mined feedstocks. According to the company, this completes air permitting for Phase I, removes a key non‑commercial risk, and allows ReElement to focus on equipment installation, commissioning, performance validation and scaling toward commercial multi‑element operations, while positioning the modular platform as a model for future U.S. and international deployments.
American Resources (NASDAQ: AREC), through its minority holding in ReElement Technologies, announced that ReElement Chief Technology Officer Dr. Yi Ding has been named a 2026 Purdue Engineering 38 by 38 Award recipient. The honor recognizes 38 young Purdue engineering alumni for accelerated professional success and impact.
Ding has led ReElement’s chromatography-based rare earth and critical mineral refining platform from lab and pilot-scale work to commercial deployment. The recognition follows ReElement’s successful commissioning and operation of its first commercial-scale germanium production column at its Marion, Indiana Advanced Technology Center, validating the scalability and modular design of its refining technology.
American Resources (NASDAQ: AREC) reported that Chairman and CEO Mark C. Jensen attended the American Mining Industry Roundtable hosted by President Donald J. Trump and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on August 7, 2026, at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. The event convened mining and critical mineral industry leaders to discuss building secure domestic and allied supply chains for materials vital to national security, defense, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing and energy infrastructure.
According to the company, Jensen’s participation aligns with its Platform Orchestration strategy, which integrates commercial feedstock origination, industrial processing and advanced refining, supported by its industrial platform Electrified Materials and its strategic affiliation with ReElement Technologies. American Resources highlighted ReElement’s modular, multi-feedstock refining technology designed to produce high-purity rare earth and critical mineral products and emphasized ongoing collaboration with government and industry stakeholders to advance a resilient U.S. critical minerals ecosystem.
American Resources (NASDAQ: AREC), through its minority holding in ReElement Technologies, announced the successful commissioning and commercial-scale operation of ReElement's first germanium production chromatography column at its Marion, Indiana refining facility. This validates that ReElement's proprietary chromatography-based separation and purification platform can scale from lab and pilot stages to full commercial operations while maintaining and enhancing separation performance.
The germanium column is the largest chromatography column ReElement currently intends to deploy across its own and partner facilities and underpins a modular architecture designed for multi-line, multi-mineral deployment. The Marion site is being built around four initial production lines for germanium, gallium, light and heavy rare earth elements, with initial commercial capabilities spanning Ge, Ga, Nd, NdPr, Dy, Tb, Gd, Y and Sm. Phase II is expected to add lines for lithium, cobalt, nickel and tungsten. According to the company, development of the Marion facility remains substantially under budget and ahead of its original construction and commercialization schedule.
