American Resources’ Electrified Materials unveils breakthrough to recover rare earths from e-waste

Episode Summary

American Resources Corp CEO Mark Jensen joined Steve Darling to announce that its subsidiary, Electrified Materials Corporation, has developed a low-cost, scalable method to extract rare earth elements (REEs) from common e-waste—including speakers, power tools, and hard drives, even those previously shredded during data destruction. Electrified Materials is positioning itself as a cutting-edge recycler of metals and minerals for the electrified economy, specializing in transforming end-of-life products into new steel-based, battery-grade, and magnet-grade inputs. Jensen explained that the company’s mechanical separation process sorts materials based on physical properties such as density and hardness, resulting in a clean mixed rare earth powder. This powder is then supplied to ReElement Technologies Corporation, where it undergoes refinement into ultra-high-purity separated oxides (99.5%–99.999%), unlocking the potential for premium-grade rare earth oxides used in domestic commercial and defense manufacturing. Beyond the technological breakthrough, the company is well positioned for scale. Electrified Materials controls more than 135 acres of industrial property across Indiana and Eastern Kentucky, which will serve as hubs for its planned expansion into disposition services and the recycling of rare earth magnets, lithium-ion batteries, and defense metals—all critical supply chain inputs for advanced technologies in national security, hyperscale computing, and the electrified economy. By bridging innovative recycling technologies with strategically located industrial assets, American Resources and its subsidiaries are advancing a sustainable, domestic rare earth supply chain at a time of increasing global demand. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #SustainableMining, #MineralRefining, #RecyclingInnovation, #CriticalMinerals, #RareEarthRecycling, #EVRecycling, #BatteryRecycling, #princialminerals #adamjohnson #RareEarths #EWasteRecycling #ReElement #CriticalMinerals #SustainableTech #MagnetRecycling #TechInnovation #GreenSupplyChain #ElectrifiedMaterials
