American Resources’ Mark Jensen Builds a Critical Minerals Ecosystem Using “Platform Orchestration”
2:02
11:29

Tracy HughesHOST
If you duplicate this for another critical mineral, will you keep it in the same company?
M
2:09Mark JensenGUEST
So, I mean, Re-Element was a business we started underneath American Resources.
M
2:19Mark JensenGUEST
So the facility we're building in our Marion plant is four production lines for a wide spectrum of products.
M
2:25Mark JensenGUEST
So germanium, gallium, there's one production line, yttrium, gadoliniums, zirconiums, and other from recycled materials.

Tracy HughesHOST
Can you tell me a little bit more about how you achieved that goal and what you're doing with it?
American Resources joins Critical Minerals Institute as inaugural Platinum member
2:12
M
0:24Mark JensenGUEST
So CMI is probably one of the premier associations within the critical mineral space.
M
0:39Mark JensenGUEST
And having the access to data and relationships that CMI has and the events that they throw are really important.

Steve DarlingHOST
And I imagine this industry that's really still sort of growing can be successful as well.
American Resources advances Marion rare earth refining campus toward 2026 commercial launch
1:50
M
0:27Mark JensenGUEST
So it's been a good journey as we continue to expand commercial output out of our Noblesville, Indiana facility, which is about 45 minutes south of Marion.
M
0:38Mark JensenGUEST
We've been building out Marion and getting everything in place for almost three years now.
M
0:43Mark JensenGUEST
So the section that Re-Element has leased out of the building has been fully renovated for a period of time now.

Steve DarlingHOST
A lot of the time is you're building it as you get someone as well, because you're able to do this quite fast, correct?
American Resources Expands Battery Recycling Platform with New Shredding Line

2:07

Steve DarlingHOST
So tell us what you have right now and what this will lead to in this expansion.
M
1:11Mark JensenGUEST
So we've been aggregating batteries, lithium ion batteries, mostly focused on LFP.
M
1:21Mark JensenGUEST
Two, we believe we're the only ones that can economically monetize the entire value stream of LFP.
M
1:29Mark JensenGUEST
And so we spent about five years looking at technology and people would say it's crowded right now in the battery recycling space.

Steve DarlingHOST
Is there something about that that works well with what you already have in place?
