American Resources Achieves Breakthrough in Tungsten Separation Technology

American Resources, through its affiliated minority holding in ReElement Technologies, announced another landmark technical achievement in the separation and purification of tungsten from mined material supplied by international mining partners. ReElement processed tungsten concentrate grading approximately 28% tungsten into purified material achieving 99.9% purity, establishing what is believed to be one of the only demonstrated domestic capability in the United States for commercially viable tungsten and demonstrating another important capability within its multi-mineral, multi-feedstock refining platform. The achievement represents a meaningful advancement toward establishing domestic and allied refining optionality for tungsten, one of the most strategically important materials used across the U.S. defense and commercial industrial base. "This is another defining moment for ReElement and for America's strategic material independence," said Mark Jensen, CEO and Chairman of ReElement Technologies. "Tungsten is essential to the defense industrial base, yet the U.S. remains heavily reliant on foreign-controlled supply chains for refined material. ReElement has now demonstrated that its platform can separate and purify tungsten from mined concentrate to 99.9%+ purity. While tungsten is not part of our initial Phase 1 Marion buildout, this achievement gives us a clear pathway to add tungsten refining capacity as customer demand, prepayments, and commercial commitments justify expansion."
