American Resources joins Critical Minerals Institute as inaugural Platinum member

American Resources Corp CEO Mark Jensen joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's appointment as the inaugural Platinum member of the Critical Minerals Institute (CMI), a move that strengthens its position within the rapidly evolving critical minerals sector and underscores its commitment to building secure domestic supply chains. Jensen said the partnership aligns closely with American Resources' mission of advancing critical minerals production, processing and recycling capabilities in North America. As the Institute's first Platinum member, the company will play a prominent role in helping shape industry discussions and initiatives focused on securing reliable supplies of strategic minerals essential to modern technologies, energy transition infrastructure and national security. Through the membership, American Resources gains access to CMI's global executive network and the Institute's Critical Minerals Platform, a comprehensive intelligence system that provides independent mineral pricing data, market forecasts, supply chain analysis, and corporate intelligence. Jensen noted that these resources will help support the company's strategic decision-making as it continues to expand across the critical minerals value chain. The partnership also reflects a broader industry shift from simply discussing critical minerals policy to actively executing solutions that strengthen domestic and allied supply chains. Jensen emphasized that resilient, commercially viable supply chains will require collaboration among industry leaders, governments, investors and technology developers. American Resources is expected to play an active role at the upcoming CMI Summit 6, which will be held under the theme "Critical Minerals Diplomacy in a Fragmenting Global Economy." The event will bring together policymakers, government officials, institutional investors, technical experts and industry executives from around the world to address some of the sector's most pressing challenges and opportunities. Discussions at the summit will focus on supply chain security, industrial policy, geopolitical risks, downstream processing, financing, technological innovation and the practical realities of developing competitive critical minerals supply chains in an increasingly complex global environment. Jensen said participation in the Institute and its initiatives provides American Resources with another platform to help accelerate the development of sustainable and secure critical minerals ecosystems while supporting the growing demand for materials essential to advanced manufacturing, electrification and energy security. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #ReElementTechnologies #BatteryRecycling #MiningNews #EnergyTransition #SupplyChainSecurity #CriticalMineralsInstitute #RareEarths #BatteryMaterials #ResourceInvesting #CleanTechnology
