American Res Corp Stock Price, News & Analysis

ReElement Technologies, approximately 19.9% owned by American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC), is expanding its rare earth oxide production at its Noblesville facility while developing its Marion supersite. The company produces 99.5%+ magnet-grade rare earth oxides and is the only U.S. producer capable of economically separating heavy rare earth elements.

Key developments include: completion of Phase 1a contracted orders for the Marion facility, successful production of 99.7% pure antimony(III) sulfide, and receipt of initial germanium-bearing feedstock samples. The company is leveraging financing from convertible notes and equipment credit lines to expand operations.

ReElement's proprietary technology enables modular scaling of refining capacity, offering advantages over traditional solvent extraction methods. The company has relocated material pre-processing from Noblesville to Marion to increase rare earth oxide output and is evaluating expansion beyond the initial 1,000 metric tons of planned capacity.

ReElement Technologies, a subsidiary of American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC), has initiated weekly shipments of high-purity rare earth oxides to domestic and allied customers. The company's Marion, Indiana facility is producing both magnet-grade heavy and light rare earth oxides and battery-grade lithium carbonate.

The company's growing order book for 2026 is estimated at $75 million - $100 million in revenue. ReElement's proprietary technology is one of only two foundational technologies capable of separating and purifying complex mixtures of critical and rare-earth elements at scale in the U.S., offering a competitive alternative to Chinese processing.

ReElement's strategy focuses on commercializing advanced refining technology, processing both primary and recycled feedstocks, sourcing materials from allied partners, and building collaborations with government and private stakeholders. The company's platform can be deployed through owned facilities or via their 'Powered-by-ReElement' separation-as-a-service model.

American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) and its holding ReElement Technologies have partnered with South African-based Novare Holdings to establish Africa's first integrated critical mineral refining facility through a $100 million investment.

The facility will produce high-purity lithium carbonate, rare earth oxides, and other critical minerals using ReElement's proprietary chromatographic separation and purification platform. Development is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2025, processing locally and regionally sourced raw materials to support battery and defense industries in Africa and North America.

Under the agreement, ReElement Technologies Africa will provide the technology and project management expertise, while Novare will contribute capital investment and operational management. The partnership aims to enhance local value addition and resource beneficiation while addressing the global critical mineral supply chain bottleneck.

American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) and its subsidiary ReElement Technologies have announced their participation in two major industry conferences in February 2025. The first event is the Investing In African Mining INDABA in Cape Town, South Africa (Feb 3-6), where ReElement's VP of International Strategy Shane Tragethon and ReElement Technologies Africa CEO Ben Kincade will attend.

The second event is the Motor, Drive Systems & Magnetics (MDSM) 2024 in Tallahassee, FL (Feb 18-20), where AREC's CEO Mark Jensen will deliver a keynote address. The MDSM conference focuses on technical advancements in motor systems, magnetic applications, and rare earth materials.

American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) and its holding ReElement Technologies have expanded their partnership with a South African-based mineral supplier for antimony-bearing ore refining. The company has received high-grade antimony ore with over 50% concentration, which will be refined into high-purity antimony(III) sulfide or antimony(III) oxide for battery, fire retardant, and defense applications.

The partnership targets 1,000 metric tons per month of antimony-bearing ore, with potential for expansion. This strategic move follows China's recent export ban on antimony, germanium, and gallium to the United States. The global antimony(III) oxide market, valued at $852 million in 2023, is projected to grow at a 4.9% CAGR through 2034, reaching $1.43 billion.

American Resources (NASDAQ: AREC) and its holding company ReElement Technologies announced an expansion of their Kentucky Lithium plant to produce ultra-pure rare earth oxides from coal and mining waste. This development follows ReElement's recent $150 million financing closure.

The company will process material from its Oceana, West Virginia site, which contains over 550 ppm of rare earth elements along with aluminum and silicon suitable for semiconductor and battery industries. ReElement's Noblesville, Indiana facility is already producing and selling rare earth oxides to multiple U.S. customers, with demand exceeding current capacity.

The initiative leverages ReElement's exclusive worldwide patents for rare earth and critical mineral processing, developed in partnership with Purdue University. The company has developed economically viable refining solutions for processing coal mine waste concentrate in the United States, creating value across multiple stages of the process chain.

American Resources (NASDAQ:AREC) has announced the successful completion of its subsidiary American Infrastructure 's (AIC) merger with CGrowth Capital (OTC:CGRA). The merged entity will be renamed American Infrastructure Holding and plans to pursue an uplisting to a senior national exchange.
