American Resources Corp CEO Mark Jensen joined Steve Darling to announce a major capacity expansion at its Noblesville, Indiana critical mineral refining facility, operated through its subsidiary ReElement Technologies. The expansion increases the site’s footprint by 141%, bringing it to more than 16,500 square feet and providing near-term refining capacity of over 200 metric tons per year of ultra-pure separated defense elements and rare earth oxides. Jensen explained that this investment significantly enhances ReElement’s ability to deliver critical minerals essential to the defense and advanced technology sectors. Among the materials targeted for production are yttrium, germanium, gadolinium, gallium, terbium, samarium, dysprosium, and antimony — all of which are designated as vital to U.S. national security and high-performance applications. The Noblesville facility now stands as a key near-term supplier while the company’s larger-scale Marion Supersite continues to advance toward commissioning. As part of this expansion, ReElement recently installed nine additional separation columns, alongside critical equipment such as its state-of-the-art ICP-MS machine, ensuring the facility can consistently produce materials of 99.999% purity at commercial scale. Notably, the company has managed to execute this expansion while maintaining uninterrupted daily operations, demonstrating its operational efficiency and scalability. Meanwhile, at the Marion Supersite, ReElement has either ordered, identified, or begun installing more than 60% of the equipment required for the site’s initial contracted growth phase. Once operational, Marion will provide large-scale refining capacity across multiple critical materials, including magnet-grade rare earths, battery metals, antimony, and additional defense elements. Jensen emphasized that the Noblesville expansion is an important step in strengthening the United States’ domestic critical minerals supply chain. By scaling up both near-term and long-term refining capacity, ReElement is positioning itself as a cornerstone provider of sustainable, onshore solutions for defense, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing markets. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #SustainableMining, #MineralRefining, #RecyclingInnovation, #CriticalMinerals, #RareEarthRecycling, #EVRecycling, #BatteryRecycling, #princialminerals #adamjohnson #RareEarths #EWasteRecycling #ReElement #CriticalMinerals #SustainableTech #MagnetRecycling #TechInnovation #GreenSupplyChain #ElectrifiedMaterials
