American Clean Resources Group, Inc. entered into a Joint Exploration and Development Agreement (Elko JEDA) with TRG Holdings, LLC to pursue development of a critical mineral processing hub in Elko, Nevada using geothermal brine resources, without new hardrock mining.
The Elko JEDA provides a binding framework for joint exploration, technical evaluation, regulatory coordination, and commercial scoping and contemplates forming project-level entities for specific development activities. It does not create an operating joint venture; any operating relationship would require a later definitive agreement.
The structure preserves separation between TRG Holdings’ regulated utility operations, including Elko Heat Company, and mineral activities, which occur through TRG Holdings or mineral-activity affiliates. Any project-level development remains subject to further evaluation, financing, permitting, and definitive documentation and may not occur.
American Clean Resources Group received a non-binding Letter of Intent from Elko Heat Company for up to $40 million in joint development capital. The potential funding would support the company’s pursuit of a Bureau of Land Management Solar Energy Zone lease and related solar development at its Millers Property in Esmeralda County, Nevada.
The Letter of Intent is tied to the June 9, 2026 Millers Joint Exploration and Development Agreement with TRG Holdings and may be implemented through a project-level special purpose vehicle. Any funding remains subject to due diligence, Investment Committee approval, issuance of the BLM lease or comparable authorization, and definitive documentation, and the Letter of Intent is explicitly not a binding commitment to lend or invest.
American Clean Resources Group, Inc. entered into a binding Joint Exploration and Development Agreement with TRG Holdings for a planned integrated energy, critical minerals processing, and data center campus at its Millers Hub property in Nevada.
The 18‑month agreement covers joint work such as geothermal resource assessment, pursuit of a Solar Energy Zone designation and federal land authorizations, and scoping of an integrated campus. It includes mutual exclusivity in a defined area, shared approved third‑party costs, confidentiality, and coordinated regulatory disclosures, but does not yet create an operating joint venture or commit long‑term project capital. Any development, ownership, or operating structure would require a future definitive agreement after the joint work is completed.
American Clean Resources Group, Inc. reports that its prior definitive agreement from January 2022 to acquire 80.1% of Sustainable Metal Solutions, LLC was never completed and has now been superseded. Instead, the company is pursuing a restructuring toward directly acquiring the Cross-Caribou mining asset and associated mining permit held by Grand Island Resources, LLC, a subsidiary of SMS. The company has not yet signed a definitive agreement for this proposed asset acquisition, which would require negotiated documentation, a fairness opinion, and various regulatory, corporate, and other approvals. The company cautions that there is no assurance any definitive agreement will be reached or that the transaction will be completed.
American Clean Resources Group, Inc. reported several changes to its fractional executive and consulting roles tied to its development projects. Effective February 2, 2026, Michael Raabe moved from fractional Chief Operating Officer to a fractional strategic operations and project management support role, continuing to assist with coordination and execution of development activities.
Effective January 30, 2026, C. Derek Campbell transitioned from fractional Chief Strategy Officer to a non-executive advisory capacity, continuing to advise on development and operations. On April 15, 2026, fractional Chief Marketing Officer Kelly Marshall departed the Company. Effective April 20, 2026, the Company engaged Jeff Bootes in a fractional, project-based consulting role to support execution activities for its Millers, Nevada project and Cross Caribou asset.
American Clean Resources Group, Inc. reported that its wholly owned subsidiary, ACRG Energy Holdings, Inc., has formed a joint venture with Phoenix New Era, LLC to create American Clean Energy, LLC, a Nevada company focused on energy infrastructure.
The new venture is intended to support energy infrastructure tied to the company’s critical minerals processing strategy, including potential geothermal partnerships, LNG-based power solutions, and related infrastructure at project sites. ACRG Energy Holdings holds a controlling membership interest at formation, while Phoenix’s interest will vest over a three-year period based on defined operational, strategic, and business development milestones.
American Clean Resources Group, Inc. entered into a Master Services Agreement with Sustainable Metal Solutions, LLC on March 11, 2026. Under this agreement, ACRG may provide administrative and advisory services to SMS pursuant to future work orders, but SMS retains full operational and regulatory responsibility.
The agreement gives ACRG no ownership, production, royalty, profit participation, or other economic interest in SMS and is not an acquisition, joint venture, or consolidation. The filing also explains that an SMS mine permit application in Colorado is undergoing an administrative classification review, with a procedural hearing set for March 18, 2026, and that ACRG is not the permit holder or mine operator.
American Clean Resources Group appointed Luke McPherson as Chief Financial Officer, effective February 27, 2026. The Board cited growing needs in financial reporting, audit readiness, and capital-markets activity as the company pursues long-term growth and potential uplisting initiatives.
McPherson brings extensive experience in SEC reporting for public companies, technical accounting, complex equity and debt transactions, business-combination accounting, PCAOB audit coordination, treasury processes, and internal controls, including work with regulated industries and emerging real-world asset business models. Former CFO Sharon Ullman moved into a new role as Chief Registrar & Shareholder Officer, focusing on shareholder records, transfer-agent coordination, registrar operations, and governance-related functions. The company states her transition did not arise from any disagreement, and an equity-based compensation arrangement for McPherson will be detailed in a later disclosure once approved.
American Clean Resources Group, Inc. disclosed that on December 31, 2025 it issued 1,644,906 shares of common stock to Granite Peak Resources, LLC in connection with the conversion of the outstanding balance under its line of credit with Granite Peak Resources. The shares were exchanged for the cancellation of approximately $1,727,152 of indebtedness, implying a conversion price of about $1.05 per share, which reduces the Company’s debt in favor of additional equity held by this creditor.
The transaction was completed as an unregistered private offering relying on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D, with Granite Peak Resources representing that it is an accredited investor acquiring the shares for investment purposes. Granite Peak Resources beneficially owns 82.2% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and is required to report the acquisition on a Form 4 under Section 16(a).
American Clean Resources Group, through its wholly owned subsidiary Tonopah Custom Processing, signed a non-binding joint venture term sheet with ENERG4 Mining Company and certain technology contributors. The parties are considering forming a new Texas limited liability company, Nexus 7 Elements LLC, to evaluate and deploy mineral processing technologies contributed by ENERG4 and the IP partners. The goal is to support ACRG’s critical minerals processing initiatives.
The term sheet is explicitly non-binding and does not require any party to proceed. Any binding obligations would arise only if the parties later negotiate and execute definitive agreements, and there is no assurance that these agreements will be completed or that the joint venture will be formed.
American Clean Resources Group, Inc. terminated a prior transaction involving SWIS LLC through a full rescission agreement with Launch It LLC. As part of this unwinding, LaunchIt will return 1,470,000 shares of ACRG common stock, which the company will retire, permanently lowering its issued and outstanding share count. In exchange, ACRG will transfer back 100% of the equity interests in SWIS LLC to LaunchIt, reflecting a decision that the SWIS technology and business direction were not aligned with ACRG’s operational objectives. Both parties granted each other a mutual release of claims and confirmed that no additional consideration is owed beyond what is outlined in the rescission, effectively restoring both sides to their pre-transaction positions.
American Clean Resources Group, Inc. reported that J. Bryan Read resigned as President on September 25, 2025, effective immediately. The company stated that his decision was not due to any disagreement regarding operations, policies, or practices. His former responsibilities will be handled by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Administrative Officer to maintain continuity in day-to-day management.
