American Resources Engages Industry Expert for Rare Earth Collection and Analysis

American Resources Corporation, a next generation and socially responsible supplier of raw materials to the new infrastructure marketplace, today announced it has engaged Rodney Campbell, President and founder of Advanced Minerals, Inc., to spearhead and assist with the collection and analysis of the Company's controlled, carbon-based rare earth element (REE) feedstocks.

Mr. Campbell will focus on refining and advancing the sampling, handling and analysis of REE feedstocks from the Company's acid mine drainage (AMD) and coal processing waste streams in conjunction with the American Resources' sponsored research partnership with Penn State University.

Mark Jensen, CEO of American Resources Corporation commented, "As we continue to execute on our American Rare Earth business plan and commercialization of our process chain, we are encouraged by the opportunities that we are seeing to create and foster a sustainable supply chain of REE and critical minerals using the most environmentally safe methods ever developed.

Our "Capture" technology will allow us to use solution-based innovation to offset current costs by collecting the REEs as we process carbon and treat existing coal waste streams. When combined with the balance of our process chain, "Process" and "Purify", we bring a practical and comprehensive approach in creating a sustainable, domestic supply chain of these increasingly important raw materials able to be made commercial when combine with "Byproduct Economics". The engagement of Rodney, with his industry leading expertise, will allow us to advance our Capture process more effectively."

Mr. Campbell added, "This is a very exciting time to be assisting American Resources as they continue to drive innovation in their industry and meet the demands of the evolving infrastructure market. Their REE division, American Rare Earth, is bringing real and viable solutions to address the supply chain and environmental challenges that we are facing. I very much look forward to collaborating with them to further execute on their goals."
