AREC's Portfolio Company Expands Critical & Rare Earth IP Portfolio
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
AREC's ReElement broadens IP portfolio with five new patent filings for its high-purity refining platform.
The filings build on chromatographic tech, enabling refinement of multiple elements up to 99.999% purity.
The patents expand processing of heavy and light rare earths and critical minerals for key technologies.
American Resources Corporation’s (AREC - Free Report) portfolio company, ReElement Technologies, recently announced that it has broadened its intellectual property (IP) portfolio with the filing of five new patent applications designed to advance its high-purity refining platform for critical minerals and rare earth elements.
The company stated that these filings build upon its proprietary chromatographic process and advanced separation methods, enabling ReElement to refine antimony, germanium, gallium, terbium, gadolinium and yttrium to exceptionally high purities ranging from 99.5% up to 99.999%, depending on the element.
ReElement noted that these patents expand its ability to process both heavy and light rare earth elements as well as strategically important critical minerals essential for defense systems, semiconductors, magnets, advanced optics and clean-energy technologies.
The company emphasized that the new IP strengthens its vision of a modular, clean and scalable domestic refining infrastructure that can be deployed near mining, recycling or concentration sites, reducing capital intensity and environmental impact compared with traditional solvent-extraction methods. The patent expansion was supported through a non-dilutive financial arrangement with Royalty Management Holding Corp., which will get a royalty interest on refined output under the patented processes.
Shares of AREC have popped 153.4% year to date compared with the industry’s 31.5% rise.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for BHP’s current-year earnings is pegged at $4.59 per share, indicating a 26.1% year-over-year increase. Shares of BHP have jumped 15.4% over the past year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for OR’s current fiscal-year earnings is 83 cents per share, indicating a 60% year-over-year increase. Its earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters while missing one, with the average surprise being 4%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for VOXR’s current fiscal-year earnings is pegged at 6 cents per share, indicating a 300% year-over-year increase. Shares of VOXR have surged 112.7% over the past year.
