American Resources' Modular Rare Earth Refining Expansion

under construction

American Resources is expanding its Phase 1 refining campus at Marion, Indiana, doubling planned capacity to over 16,000 metric tons annually of separated and purified oxide. The expansion includes four production lines for recycled and primary feedstocks, with initial production targeted for Q3 2026 and full commissioning later that year. The modular, low-capital-expenditure design allows incremental capacity additions and future expansion into other critical minerals. The project is complemented by a vertically integrated strategy with subsidiary EMCO expanding pre-processing of recycled magnet materials to supply domestic feedstock, creating a closed-loop system enhancing supply chain security and environmental performance.
