ReElement Technologies Corporation, a subsidiary of American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC), has joined the Global Trusted Tech Network of the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue, the company announced Thurdsay.
The Fishers, Indiana-based firm also received the institute’s 2025 Trusted Tech Leadership Award for its work advancing secure and sustainable critical mineral supply chains
The Krach Institute’s network brings together governments, companies, institutions and leaders committed to advancing trusted technologies and strengthening collaboration among free and allied nations. “Building trusted technology requires trusted partners at every stage of the supply chain,” said Michelle Giuda, CEO of the Krach Institute. “ReElement is exactly the kind of innovator we are proud to welcome into our Global Trusted Tech Network.” ReElement employs a proprietary modular refining platform using advanced chromatography and low-impact chemistry to separate and purify high-purity rare earth and critical mineral products from recycled and primary feedstocks. The company has resumed commercial production of germanium dioxide at its Noblesville, Indiana facility, restoring a capability it says has not existed at commercial scale in the US for decades. It is also advancing production lines for specialty hard products recycling, mixed rare earth concentrate, and primary rare earth feedstock refining at its Marion, Indiana facility, with Phase 2 lines focused on tungsten and lithium also in development.
Mark Jensen, CEO of ReElement, said the company’s refining-first model is designed to address one of the most significant bottlenecks in domestic critical mineral supply chains: commercially viable midstream refining capacity. “By driving innovation in the midstream, ReElement is able to develop integrated solutions with advanced material science companies, technology providers and allied partners, while also aligning with upstream feedstock sourcing opportunities through…
