FISHERS, INDIANA / ACCESSWIRE / March 29, 2022 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) (“American Resources” or the “Company”), a next generation and socially responsible supplier of rare earth and critical elements, carbon and advanced carbon materials to the new infrastructure and electrification marketplace, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021. The Company will host a conference call and webcast, today, March 29, 2022, at 4:30 PM ET (details below).
Mark Jensen, Chairman and CEO of American Resources Corporation commented, “Throughout 2021 we further established our pillars of growth and believe the year was marked by tremendous success in transforming our Company to expand our near term and future potential and opportunities. In retrospect and as a point of reference, we began unveiling the patents and technology behind our rare earth ‘Capture – Process – Purify’ process chain in early 2021. Today, we are only a few months away from being the first in the U.S. to produce isolated and purified critical and REEs and bringing the most environmentally-safe refining solutions to the domestic marketplace. Solidifying our position not only addresses our national supply chain and sustainability challenges of critical and REEs, but also eliminates the need to depend on foreign nations, such as China, for the final stage of refinement for these increasingly important raw materials. As we become the nation’s first producer of highly-purified critical and REEs, which we believe is a monumental milestone, we are also steadily increasing our carbon production in one of the strongest markets we have ever seen.”
2021 Key Division Highlights
|
|
| American Rare Earth |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Advanced its innovation by entering into exclusive patent and technology licensing agreements on 16 patents and technologies to establish the foundation of American Rare Earth’s “Capture – Process – Purify” process chain and entered into three sponsored research partnerships to further develop and refine the most environmentally friendly methods to capture, process and purify critical and REEs from waste streams and end-of-life products. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Achieved a high purity (99.5%) of the rare earth magnet metals neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr) and dysprosium (Dy) and battery metals lithium (Li), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni) and manganese (Mn) from end-of-life permanent magnets and NMC batteries from electric vehicles using its patented chromatography process and technology. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Advanced its efforts to onshore the final isolation and purification stage of critical and REEs with its site selection of its first two critical and REE isolation and purification facilities; both in Noblesville, IN, and began the build phase of its initial two commercial production trains at its first facility. This facility will be the first facility in the United States capable of producing isolated and high-purity critical and REEs while focusing on the sustainability and circular supply chain. |
|
|
| American Carbon |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Announced plans to restart its Wyoming County, WV mining complex along with receiving preliminary approval from the state of West Virginia for the issuance of $45 million tax-exempt industrial development bonds for advanced carbon and rare earth and critical mineral processing. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Acquired E4-2 mineral reserves to secure the long-term viability and of its Perry County Resources complex and further reduces its operating costs. |
|
|
| Corporate |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Elevated its shareholder-focused and value-creative culture by pricing the initial public offering of American Acquisition Opportunity Inc. (NADSAQ: AMAOU), a blank check company in which the Company has an indirect investment, and sub-licensed two of its exclusive patents for the production of graphene to Novusterra Inc. for a 50% equity stake in the privately-held company and a portion of future cash flows from the sale of graphene from that entity. |
|
|
|
|
|
| · | Strengthened its balance sheet and financial flexibility by eliminating approximately $19 million of debt and payables and added over $30 million of equity capital. |
|
|
|
|
“Looking forward to the remainder of 2022, our excitement over the opportunities we have in front of us continues to reach an all-time high. Our current specialty and metallurgical carbon backlog represents approximately $110 million. As our carbon production continues to scale and become more consistent, we’re confident in showcasing the low-cost and growth attributes of our platform with the investments we’ve made and with the future investments we’re planning at our Wyoming County, West Virginia complex. Over the first several weeks of 2022, once we managed through the Omicron variant, we have seen our rate of production become more consistent and will realize a profitable March month on a $5.25 to $6 million monthly revenue run rate,” continued Mr. Jensen.
“The opportunity for American Rare Earth continues to manifest at a very rapid pace and continues to be bolstered by our tremendous team and partnerships. We wholeheartedly believe that the greatest impact we can make to our domestic supply of critical and REEs is to provide the most efficient and environmentally-safe solutions for the final stage of separation and purification while providing a sustainable and circular supply of materials. We will be showcasing our ability to achieve this on a commercial scale this year and will commensurately continue to bolster our upstream and downstream partnerships. “
Expected Near-Term Catalysts
|
| · | Continued increase in carbon production to meet backlog and growing market demand. |

The Company earned an adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.
Fourth Quarter 2021 Summary
Total revenues were $4.54 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to revenues of $13,875 during the fourth quarter of 2020. General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $1.3 million compared to $826,890 in the prior year period.

| (1) | Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before net interest expense, income tax expense, accretion expense, depreciation, non-cash stock compensation expense, transaction and other professional fees, and development costs. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and we believe items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant to a reader in understanding and assessing our financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income, income from operations, cash flow from operations or as a measure of our profitability, liquidity, or performance under GAAP. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA presents a useful measure of our ability to incur and service debt based on ongoing operations. Furthermore, similar measures are used by analysts to evaluate our operating performance. Investors should be aware that our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by others. |
