American Resources' ReElement expands lab with advanced tech to boost ultra-high-purity rare earth refining for defense and energy markets.
American Resources files new patent to produce ultra-high-purity lithium from brines, enhancing its DLE-integrated refining platform for battery-grade output.
American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC) told investors that its portfolio company ReElement Technologies has filed a new patent application aimed at turning lithium-bearing brines into ultra-high-purity, battery-grade lithium products, positioning the technology as a complement to fast-growing direct lithium extraction (DLE) methods. The company, in an announcement, said the patent focuses on the separation and purification step after lithium has been extracted and concentrated, arguing that ReElement's chromatography-based platform can slot into DLE process flows to improve overall efficiency, reduce costs and lift final product purity.
The filing targets a gap in the supply chain between lithium extraction and the production of battery-grade material ReElement Technologies, a US specialist in rare earth and critical mineral refining, has filed its eighth next-generation patent application, covering a process for producing ultra-high-purity lithium from lithium-bearing brines and designed to complement existing direct lithium extraction technology. The filing was announced through American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC), the Nasdaq-listed company that holds a minority stake in ReElement, and expands the company's intellectual property portfolio as it positions itself as a downstream partner to operators already extracting and concentrating lithium from brine deposits.
