American Resources (NASDAQ: AREC), through its minority holding in ReElement Technologies, reported that the U.S. Department of War’s Economic Defense Unit and the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment awarded ReElement a $25 million Industrial Base Fund investment to expand domestic refining capacity at its Marion, Indiana Refining Campus.
According to ReElement, the capital will fund additional refining equipment, production line installation and working capital to accelerate commercial output of high‑purity rare earth oxides and other defense‑critical minerals, processing both primary and recycled feedstocks.
