ReElement Technologies Corporation specializes in advanced mineral refining processes, focusing on rare earth elements and lithium transition metals. Based in Fishers, Indiana, the company has developed innovative purification and separation methods that transform recycled materials into high-purity products for the battery and electronics industries. Their patented technology platform processes various feedstocks, including recycled batteries, permanent magnets, and virgin ores, supporting sustainable material production for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. As a subsidiary of American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ: AREC), ReElement Technologies contributes significantly to establishing domestic supply chains for critical minerals in North America.
Battery Technology
ReElement Technologies’ proprietary refining platform utilizes chromatography-based separation processes to produce battery-grade materials with exceptional purity levels exceeding 99%. The company’s technology specifically addresses the processing of lithium-ion battery components, including Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP) and Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) chemistries.
Their modular refining system demonstrates remarkable efficiency improvements compared to conventional methods, reducing processing water usage by 25%, energy consumption by 75%, and carbon emissions by 70%. The technology can extract and purify lithium carbonate or hydroxide from various sources, including spodumene ores, mineral brines, and manufacturing byproducts. This versatility enables ReElement to support battery manufacturers with sustainable material recovery solutions while maintaining high production standards.
The company’s refining capabilities extend to processing black mass from recycled batteries, creating a circular economy for critical materials. Their technology recovers valuable components with minimal environmental impact, offering battery manufacturers a sustainable source of refined materials for new production cycles.
Recent Projects
ReElement Technologies has formed a strategic partnership with Novare Holdings to establish Africa’s first integrated critical mineral refining facility. The $100 million project, scheduled to begin development in late 2025, will implement ReElement’s refining platform to produce high-purity lithium carbonate and rare earth oxides. This initiative aims to strengthen the global supply chain for battery materials while creating sustainable refining capabilities in Africa.
Investors
American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) serves as the primary investor and parent company of ReElement Technologies. Additionally, the company has established a significant partnership with Novare Holdings Proprietary Limited, a South African investment firm, which has committed to a joint $100 million investment for developing refining facilities across Africa. Novare provides capital investment and operational management support, while ReElement Technologies contributes technical expertise and project oversight.
