Investors took a cautious stance ahead of Wednesday's CPI report

American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC) earlier this week announced that its ReElement Technologies division had successfully commissioned its first commercial-scale refining column at the Marion facility, marking an important milestone in the company's effort to establish a domestic critical...

American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC) CFO Kirk Taylor spoke with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about ReElement's successful commissioning of its first commercial-scale refining column at the Marion facility, a key milestone for its critical minerals refining platform. Taylor said the company moved from lab testing to pilot operations to commercial scale in under six months after starting work on the waste stream in March, with each stage performing as expected. "We've gone from lab scale to pilot scale to now commercial scale in less than six months," he said. Standardising equipment, including valves, pumps, columns and piping, across production lines is helping reduce execution risk as further refining capacity comes online, streamlining future expansion while maintaining consistent performance. Taylor highlighted ReElement's modular platform, which allows processing closer to the source material, cutting logistics costs and supply chain risk. The first commercial line is focused on germanium, with the same equipment and parameters also able to extract and purify gallium from mine tailings - a material Taylor noted is essential for robotics and humanoid robotic chips. Looking ahead, the germanium line is the first of four production lines due to be commissioned over the next six months, with capacity aligned to demand from domestic and allied nations.

President Trump announced a fresh round of 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods

Rare earth stocks have been a ticket for riding a roller coaster for over a year, but the latest descent has been particularly brutal. Downward momentum gathered steam last Thursday, after the International Energy Agency's Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2026 edition highlighted a planned surge in mining capacity well beyond expectations of refining and magnet production. MP Materials, USA Rare Earth, Critical Metals, Energy Fuels and American Resources all fell by more than 10% last week and some stocks continued to fall on Monday.

Investors drew confidence from strong bank earnings and a softer-than-expected inflation report

American Resources Corp CFO Kirk Taylor joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's $25 million investment from the U.S. Department of War's Economic Defense Unit, in partnership with the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment, to expand domestic critical mineral refining at ReElement Technologies' Marion, Indiana campus. Taylor said the funding will support the installation of additional refining equipment, new production lines, and working capital to accelerate commercial production of high-purity rare earth elements and defense-critical minerals. The expanded facility will process both primary and recycled feedstocks, including end-of-life permanent magnets, to produce high-purity rare earth oxides and specialty materials such as yttrium, gadolinium, germanium, and gallium for applications in defense, aerospace, semiconductors, advanced communications, and other strategic industries. “This investment reflects the growing importance of secure, domestic refining capacity to America's national security and industrial resilience,” Taylor said. Unlike traditional refining operations that rely on a single mine or feedstock source, ReElement has developed a refining-first platform capable of processing a wide range of primary and recycled materials. Its modular design allows production capacity to expand alongside customer demand while reducing reliance on any single upstream resource or geographic region. The company's proprietary chromatographic separation technology is designed to economically separate and refine multiple critical minerals to purities ranging from approximately 99.5% to 99.999%, supporting diverse supply chains through a common refining infrastructure. Management believes the government investment significantly strengthens ReElement's role in building a secure domestic supply chain for critical minerals while supporting U.S. industrial resilience and national security. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #SustainableMining, #MineralRefining, #RecyclingInnovation, #CriticalMinerals, #RareEarthRecycling #CriticalMinerals #NationalSecurity #Defense #SupplyChain #AdvancedManufacturing #RareEarthRefining #MiningNews #departmentofwar
