With the recent passing of the Inflation Reduction Act and the rapid adoption of electric vehicles the demand for such products is seeing rapid grow, and the versatility of our technology enables us to move quickly and cost effectively to provide a real solution. Beyond this facility, we are in numerous discussions on potential joint venture opportunities for customized, co-located facilities in both the United States and Europe. Given the minimal environmental and land footprint required of our process, we can efficiently expand our operations as the supply of end-of-life materials expands versus overbuilding and running inefficiently in the early years, but also expand rapidly in the out years as the market and feedstocks expand. Additionally, given our corporate structure, we have the ability to finance this project through non-dilutive sources at the ReElement level."The Company has narrowed the site selection for this 200,000 square foot facility to one of two controlled properties. The first being Noblesville, Indiana which is approximately 40 acres of industrial-zoned land located less than 5 miles from its first commercial purification facility. The second location being considered is at a controlled property in West Virginia nearby the Company's existing site for premium mid vol carbon processing and electrolysis technology which will be deployed as part of the Company's previously announced tax-exempt bond issuance.The facility will be initially constructed and expanded as the market for end-of-life magnets and battery material feedstock expands by adding additional magnet and battery purification capacity through its modular design. The annual capacity by 2025 is projected to exceed 95,000 tons of battery black mass or battery waste material (35,000 tons of high purity isolated battery elements) and 6,000 tons of rare earth magnet (2,000 tons of high purity isolated rare earth elements) processing capabilities.ReElement Technologies sources end of life magnets and batteries that are further processed into an aqueous-based solution to be separated and purified back to magnet and battery grade materials so that they can be reused in the manufacturing of new batteries, magnets or other technologies. The Company's chromatography technology replaces the need for hydrometallurgical / solvent extraction in the separation and purification step in the metal recovery / recycling process. Furthermore, its patented process and technology is unique in that it can purify targeted materials to greater than 99.5% on an isolated or mixed basis, and enables the Company to have flexibility and versatility in what products and form we provide our customers.About American Resources CorporationAmerican Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) is a next-generation, environmentally and socially responsible supplier of high-quality raw materials to the new infrastructure market.
