FISHERS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / March 9, 2026 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) ("American Resources") through its affiliated minority holding in ReElement Technologies Corporation ("ReElement"), a leading U.S. innovator in rare earth element (REE) and critical mineral refining for commercial and defense industries, today announced its participation in a series of conferences and meetings during the week of March 9, 2026. These engagements are intended to advance customer, investor, and strategic partner discussions around critical mineral supply chains and circular economy solutions.

American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC) said on Friday that its wholly owned subsidiary, Electrified Materials Corporation (EMCO), has expanded its pre-processing capabilities at its Indiana facility to handle larger volumes of recycled metals and minerals, including rare earth elements (REEs) and other critical minerals. The expansion adds new equipment and processing lines for magnet materials, copper, aluminum, and ferrous metals recovered from end-of-life products and manufacturing scrap.

New equipment increases processing capacity for magnets, copper, aluminum and ferrous metals while supplying conditioned rare earth feedstocks to ReElement Technologies for ultra-pure refining Expansion will be supported by a private capital raise at the EMCO subsidiary level, as well as a State of Indiana recycling grant FISHERS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / March 6, 2026 / American Resources Corporation ("American Resources") (NASDAQ:AREC) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Electrified Materials Corporation ("EMCO"), an innovative recycler of metals and minerals, has expanded its pre-processing capabilities through the procurement of additional equipment and processing capacity at its Indiana facility. The new processing line expands EMCO's ability to aggregate, process and condition magnet materials, copper, aluminum and ferrous metals recovered from end-of-life products and manufacturing scrap.

American Resources' ReElement expands lab with advanced tech to boost ultra-high-purity rare earth refining for defense and energy markets.

American Resources files new patent to produce ultra-high-purity lithium from brines, enhancing its DLE-integrated refining platform for battery-grade output.

American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC) told investors that its portfolio company ReElement Technologies has filed a new patent application aimed at turning lithium-bearing brines into ultra-high-purity, battery-grade lithium products, positioning the technology as a complement to fast-growing direct lithium extraction (DLE) methods. The company, in an announcement, said the patent focuses on the separation and purification step after lithium has been extracted and concentrated, arguing that ReElement's chromatography-based platform can slot into DLE process flows to improve overall efficiency, reduce costs and lift final product purity.

The filing targets a gap in the supply chain between lithium extraction and the production of battery-grade material ReElement Technologies, a US specialist in rare earth and critical mineral refining, has filed its eighth next-generation patent application, covering a process for producing ultra-high-purity lithium from lithium-bearing brines and designed to complement existing direct lithium extraction technology. The filing was announced through American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC), the Nasdaq-listed company that holds a minority stake in ReElement, and expands the company's intellectual property portfolio as it positions itself as a downstream partner to operators already extracting and concentrating lithium from brine deposits.

New patent filing advances intellectual property for separation and purification of lithium from lithium-bearing brines Technology has been field-tested alongside membrane-based concentration systems, feeding into ReElement's proprietary final stage purification and high-purity output FISHERS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / March 3, 2026 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) ("American Resources" or the "Company") through its minority holding in ReElement Technologies Corporation ("ReElement"), a leading U.S. innovator in rare earth element (REE) and critical mineral refining, today announced the filing of a new patent application designed to complement Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) processes for the production of ultra-high-purity lithium products from lithium-bearing brines. This newly filed patent expands ReElement's intellectual property portfolio and reflects its continued leadership in advancing innovative, modular, and environmentally responsible refining technologies.

FISHERS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / March 2, 2026 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) ("American Resources" or the "Company") and its affiliated minority holding, ReElement Technologies Corporation ("ReElement"), a leading U.S. innovator in rare earth element (REE) and critical mineral refining for the commercial and defense industry, today announced their attendance at PDAC 2026: The World's Premier Mineral Exploration & Mining Convention taking place from March 1- 4 in Toronto, Canada. Representatives will be offering thought leadership, and meeting with customers, investors, and strategic partners across the critical mineral, technology, and industrial innovation ecosystems.

American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC) announced that its minority-held subsidiary ReElement Technologies is expanding its advanced rare earth and critical mineral laboratory capabilities as it prepares to scale operations across its multi-mineral refining platform. American Resources said ReElement has commissioned enhanced laboratory capacity and added technical personnel to support the validation and commercialization of high-purity critical mineral products used in defense, energy, and advanced manufacturing.
