American Resources Corporation, through its holding in ReElement Technologies, have expanded its operating equipment to meet surging demand for domestically sourced rare earth oxides.

ReElement is at the forefront and committed to unlocking and building a secure national supply chain of critical minerals through its scalable, highly efficient, and versatile refinery platform — delivering both light and heavy magnet-grade rare earth oxides, battery materials, and other strategic defense minerals including antimony — faster and more efficiently than traditional methods.

This latest equipment expansion showcases the unique modular and scalable nature of ReElement’s refining technology, enabling rapid and versatile growth in response to unprecedented demand for domestically produced, ultra-pure rare earth oxides. This entire phase 2 growth process, from design to commissioning, was completed in under 3 weeks and is doubling the facility’s production of finished rare earth oxides.

A third phase of expansion is underway, with equipment delivery expected in 6 to 8 week, and projected to triple production levels when compared to phase 2. This added refining capacity will significantly increase the facility’s daily refining volumes of key rare earth elements, including neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb).

“By investing in and leveraging our innovative refining technology, our Noblesville facility is able to rapidly scale to meet the unprecedented customer demand we are seeing from our growing customer base. Our team remains committed to driving innovation and continues to push the boundaries of engineering and operational excellence in our progress of refining critical minerals,” said Jeff Peterson, COO of ReElement Technologies.

“Our Noblesville facility, located in an urban setting, demonstrates not only the scalability of our technology but also our commitment to environmentally responsible production of both heavy and light rare earth oxides. While the site was not originally intended to be commercial, growing customer demand, especially following recent global trade shifts, has made it an essential part of our operations as we continue developing our larger Marion facility,” said Mark Jensen, CEO of ReElement Technologies.

“We’re proud to support our nation’s access to these critical materials and applaud President Trump for prioritizing this effort through executive action. We’re also incredibly thankful to our domestic equipment partners for delivering high-performance refining equipment that meet our exacting standards — often ahead of schedule. Our team remains committed to leading the domestic market with efficient, scalable solutions that promote American manufacturing, national security, and critical mineral independence. This latest expansion highlights the flexibility of our platform and our ability to efficiently respond to increasing demand for high-purity rare earth oxides,” added Jensen.

ReElement Technologies, a portfolio company of American Resources Corporation, is a leading provider of high-performance refining capacity for rare earth and critical battery elements. Its multi-mineral, multi-feedstock platform technology focuses on the refining of recycled material from rare earth permanent magnets and lithium-ion batteries, concentrated ores and brines, as well as coal-based waste streams and byproducts to create a cost effective and environmentally-safe, circular supply chain. ReElement has developed its innovative and scalable “Powered by ReElement” process which collaboratively utilizes its exclusively licensed intellectual property within its partners’ material processing flow sheets to more efficiently support the global supply chain’s growing demand for magnet and battery-grade products.
