American Resources Corp CFO Kirk Taylor joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s newly secured $33 million financing, a major step forward in advancing its critical minerals and rare earth element operations. Taylor revealed that the funding came from two long-term institutional investors who had been tracking the company’s growth and determined that now was the ideal time to participate. The financing will be used to expand operations across both new and existing facilities, supporting American Resources Corp’s mission to transform coal waste into high-value rare earth oxides—a process central to the company’s strategy of turning environmental liabilities into strategic assets. “Thankfully, we have 100 years of coal tailings within our portfolio to start working on,” said Taylor, emphasizing how the company’s vast resources provide a stable foundation for scaling rare earth production while contributing to environmental remediation and U.S. supply chain independence. Taylor also pointed to the strategic partnerships that continue to drive progress, including Vulcan Elements and Posco International, as well as ongoing innovation led by Chief Technology Officer Dr. Yi Ding. Together, these collaborations are pushing forward the company’s technological capabilities and commercial reach. Meanwhile, the company’s ReElement division continues to gain global recognition, with Taylor scheduled to present at several major industry events—from New York to Korea, including a TDK Ventures forum in San Francisco. These appearances underscore growing international interest in American Resources’ sustainable and scalable approach to rare earth recovery. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #SustainableMining, #MineralRefining, #RecyclingInnovation, #CriticalMinerals, #RareEarthRecycling, #EVRecycling, #BatteryRecycling, #princialminerals #adamjohnson #RareEarths #EWasteRecycling #ReElement #CriticalMinerals #SustainableTech #MagnetRecycling #TechInnovation #GreenSupplyChain #ElectrifiedMaterials
