FISHERS, IN / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2024 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) ("American Resources" or the "Company"), a next generation and socially responsible supplier of rare earth and critical elements, carbon and advanced carbon materials to the modern infrastructure and electrification sectors, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2024. The Company will host a conference call and webcast, today, November 14, 2024, at 4:30 PM ET (details below).
Mark Jensen, Chairman and CEO of American Resources Corporation commented, "We continue to experience significant progress in establishing our strategic positioning across our target markets. Our focus remains on preparing each business for growth as a separate, standalone entity, aligning with our Strategic Committee's plan to unlock the full value of American Resources. Key steps in this strategy include securing growth capital to scale operations and building world-class teams for each division. Our recent announcement regarding ReElement's record date and capital raise reinforces our commitment to these objectives, and further advances our path to growth and value creation and we continue to bolster our teams with best-in-class talent to execute on our mission."
"ReElement Technologies continues to position its breakthrough technology as a world-leading solution for efficient critical mineral refining and continues to be the highest value denominator of our business. Leveraging decades of research, development, and commercialization across various industries, we can produce ultra-pure critical minerals at competitive costs with high throughput. Our multi-mineral, multi-feedstock platform technology is not only environmentally safe but also flexible and modularly scalable, allowing us to deploy refining capacity worldwide, bridging upstream mining and recycling with downstream manufacturing. As we execute our strategy, it's clear that our solution stands apart, providing unparalleled value for strategic and financial partners while enhancing both energy transition and national security initiatives. Currently, we are producing both ultra-pure rare earth elements and critical battery minerals at our Customer Qualification Plant in Noblesville, Indiana - a unique achievement globally. Moreover, we've accomplished this using our own capital, with a vision to catalyze a robust critical mineral supply chain independent of China."
"We recently rebranded American Carbon as American Infrastructure Corporation to better represent a more diversified resource portfolio aimed at supporting global infrastructure markets, such as our recent acquisition in the iron ore space. Growth capital for American Infrastructure is largely supported by the closing of our previously announced $45 million tax-exempt bond offering for Wyoming County Coal (WCC). Additionally, we recently secured a lease for our McCoy Elkhorn complex with a proven operator, positioning it for near-term production. Both WCC and McCoy Elkhorn are premium facilities capable of producing high-quality mid-vol and high-vol carbon for the global steel industry. Through American Infrastructure's growth, we've consolidated valuable assets focused on high-margin, high-value products, making it strategically positioned as one of the last U.S.-based platforms for metallurgical carbon growth."
"We are actively positioning American Metals as a key aggregator and processor of recycled feedstocks. American Metals is uniquely situated to leverage ReElement's advanced refining capabilities, handling the preprocessing of end-of-life and off-spec batteries and magnets, which will also enhance ReElement's long-term margin profile. Through its affiliation with ReElement, American Metals has gained expertise in optimal and efficient processing methods to produce feedstock that can be refined back into ultra-pure critical minerals, while our partnership with LOHUM Cleantech, India's leading battery recycling and reuse company, further strengthens our market position. Additionally, we are making steady progress on our merger with AI Transportation Acquisition Corp., having received and prepared responses to comments from the SEC on our S-4 registration statement."
"As we continue to execute on our strategic plan, American Resource will continue to evolve by leveraging the unique capabilities and positioning of our current operating company's assets to diversify into other critical mineral and infrastructure resources to support energy transition and national security."
Key Division Highlights
The Company continues to aggressively drive innovative, efficient and solution-based steps to strengthen its position within its respective end-markets while strategically evolving to enhance shareholder value. Recent divisional milestones include:

Established a partnership with IRIS Metals, a lithium exploration and production company with hard rock lithium assets located in South Dakota, to develop domestic production of battery-grade lithium.
Established a partnership with Vulcan Elements, a manufacturer of neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnets in the U.S., to develop a fully domestic and sustainable rare earth magnet supply chain.
Commenced daily production of purified rare earth elements to include both light (Nd, Pr) and heavy (Dy, Tb) rare earths to 99.5%+ purity, while also integrating process automation to further increase capacity and efficiencies.
Promoted Dr. Yi Ding, Ph.D. to Chief Technology Officer. As Director of R&D, Dr. Ding helped commercialize the Company's multi-mineral, multi-feedstock platform technology.
Signed a Joint Employment Training Program Agreement with Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana focusing on technical training and apprenticeship programs for ReElement clean tech, critical mineral refining platform.
Received Military Critical Technical Data Agreement approval and certified under the United States / Canada Joint Certification Program.
Demonstrated its breakthrough technology in the separation and purification of rare earth ores to produce separated and purified rare earth elements at magnet grade (99.5%+). The demonstration process was conducted from an ore concentrate provided by a partner to showcase the Company's ability to extract, separate and purify the high-value elements in the ore body that can supply the rare earth magnet supply chain.
Entered into a partnership with UK-based Jupiter Lithium Ltd to develop Nigeria's first large-scale lithium deposit spanning 442 square kilometers of high-quality, lithium-rich terrain and poised to become a transformative project for Nigeria.
Successfully separated and purified lithium from feedstocks derived from lithium brine sources and has expanded its Powered by ReElement service offering to include integration into direct lithium extraction flow sheets.
Announced that it has been accepted as a member of the Defense Industrial Base Consortium to help address defense supply chain issues.
Established its asset-light, collaborative platform branded, Powered by ReElement, to focus on inline partnerships with other critical and rare earth mineral processors, recyclers or refiners that need to optimize certain components, or the entire separation and purification process within their solvent-based and/or hydrometallurgical process.
Successfully executed and closed a Bond Purchase Agreement with Hilltop Securities Inc. for $150,000,000 principal amount of Kentucky Industrial Building Revenue Bonds, Series 2024, for the Company's Kentucky Lithium LLC ("KYL") complex which will be used for the development and operation commissioning of the United States' first-of-its-kind critical mineral refining facility.
American Metals
Established a partnership with LOHUM Cleantech Ltd., India's leading battery recycling and reuse company, to develop a joint venture, along with ReElement Technologies, to develop the United States' first fully integrated battery recycling, repurposing and material refining entity.
American Infrastructure
Signed a lease for its McCoy Elkhorn mining complex, located in Pike County, Kentucky, with the goal of restarting operations this year, reducing operating risk and receiving a top line royalty stream from the complex.
Announced updated results of its rare earth element deposits at its Wyoming County Coal project in West Virginia with over 550 ppm as verified from an independent third-party laboratory. The ongoing project development is being funded by the Company's previously announced $45 million tax exempt bond.
Acquired a 51% ownership interest in a Jamaica-based, diversified mineral asset with a focus on iron ore, titanium and vanadium to further establishes American Carbon's foothold in the steelmaking supply chain.
Corporate
Announced a special dividend of shares in its wholly owned subsidiary, ReElement Technologies Corporation. The special dividend will be distributed on or about February 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2024.
Distributed 25% of its ownership interest in American Infrastructure Corporation on the previously announced distribution date of August 9, 2024 to its underlying shareholders of record as of May 27, 2024; continuing to execute on it strategic plan to separate certain assets into standalone entities to unlock value.
Mr. Jensen continued, "Looking forward as we approach 2025, our belief in and the excitement over the opportunities we have in front of us continues to reach an all-time high. Our goal is to successfully spin-off ReElement Technologies and the majority of American Infrastructure with the appropriate value, capital structures and teams to execute as standalone businesses, and we feel confident we will accomplish that goal."
"The opportunity for ReElement Technologies continues to rapidly manifest as the world searches for more efficient critical mineral supply chain solutions. The unique attributes of our technology puts us in a lead position to successfully deploy meaningful critical mineral refining capacity outside of China. It has always been our approach that utilizing the similar, solvent-based separation and purification technologies, as used in China, will be a challenge for most of the world, and we are starting to see leaders in the supply chain migrate towards us for efficient solutions. As such, we believe we stand alone in our ability to produce ultra-pure products at large scale, and in an environmentally-safe and cost competitive process. This has enabled us to continue our focus on customer qualifications across multiple products and supply chains, procure quality feedstocks from around the world to feed our large-scale projects, secure offtake agreements with both planned magnet, cathode / battery manufacturers and advance the design, engineering and development of our planned large-scale, commercial facilities in Marion, Indiana and Knott County, Kentucky. Our rapid execution of this tremendous growth opportunity is evidenced by the technical expertise at our Noblesville, Indiana Commercial Qualification Plant, the acquisition of our Marion super-site, the procurement of approximately $45 million in tax incentives from the municipality of Marion, and the successful execution of a bond purchase agreement for $150 million of Kentucky Industrial Building Revenue Bonds for our first-of-its-kind Kentucky Lithium refinery, to name a few. Our focus and approach are to capitalize the development and growth of our Marion Advanced Technology Center in a similar, non-dilutive manner, and we continue to work through that process. Additionally, our international growth plans are substantial to support a massive shift in global trade and manufacturing. ReElement sits in a very opportunistic position at the intersection of energy transition and national security and we remain steadfast on executing in a calculated and expedited manner to build substantial value for our Company, shareholders and stakeholders alike."

Adjusted EBITDA |

| 1,265,891 |
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, accretion expense, depreciation, non-cash stock compensation expense, transaction and other professional fees. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant to a reader in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income, income from operations, cash flow from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity, or performance under GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA presents a useful measure of our ability to incur and service debt based on ongoing operations. Furthermore, similar measures are used by analysts to evaluate our operating performance. Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by others.
