American Resources Corp CEO Mark Jensen joined Steve Darling to share an update on the company’s progress at its Marion, Indiana Supersite, which is advancing as ReElement Technologies’ first large-scale refining hub. The Marion complex is being developed to complement ReElement’s recently expanded Noblesville facility, which has already established itself as a domestic leader in producing ultra-pure separated and purified rare earth oxides. As production at Noblesville ramps toward a capacity of more than 250 metric tons per year of separated defense elements, the larger Marion facility is being designed to shoulder the next phase of scale. Phase 1 at Marion will deliver between 2,500 and 3,500 metric tons per year of refined output, using columns with a 5-foot diameter—a significant scale-up from the 18-inch diameter columns in Noblesville. This highlights ReElement’s ability to modularize and rapidly expand its proprietary refining platform. Phase 1 installation at Marion will initially occupy 40,000 square feet within the facility’s massive 400,000+ square foot footprint, preserving extensive capacity for future expansion and the potential co-location of complementary partner technologies. To date, ReElement has already ordered, identified, or begun installation on more than 60% of the equipment required for Marion’s initial contracted growth stage. Once fully operational, the Supersite will provide the large-scale refining capacity needed for magnet-grade rare earths, advanced battery materials, antimony, and other critical defense-related elements. Jensen emphasized that ReElement’s versatile, flexible, and economically efficient refining platform provides a unique competitive advantage: it supports domestic and allied supply chains, reduces dependence on opaque and volatile global commodity markets, and accelerates the reshoring of critical mineral refining capacity to North America. By strategically integrating its high-efficiency separation and purification technologies across both its Noblesville and Marion sites, ReElement is positioning itself as a cornerstone of the U.S. effort to secure and expand critical mineral independence in support of both clean energy and national defense. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #SustainableMining, #MineralRefining, #RecyclingInnovation, #CriticalMinerals, #RareEarthRecycling, #EVRecycling, #BatteryRecycling, #princialminerals #adamjohnson #RareEarths #EWasteRecycling #ReElement #CriticalMinerals #SustainableTech #MagnetRecycling #TechInnovation #GreenSupplyChain #ElectrifiedMaterials
