Insights
ReElement's new toll processing service for rare earth magnets creates a competitive domestic supply chain alternative to Chinese dominance.
ReElement Technologies' launch of its urban mining-to-magnet tolling service represents a significant advancement in domestic critical mineral processing. The company is achieving
The pricing strategy is particularly noteworthy. By offering high-purity oxides at costs competitive with Chinese pricing, ReElement is addressing the primary barrier that has prevented establishment of domestic rare earth supply chains. Their ability to process diverse feedstocks (wind turbines, automotive rotors, hard disk drives, etc.) demonstrates the versatility of their technology and expands their potential market.
This announcement is strategically important as many of the elements they're processing � Terbium, Gallium, Germanium � are subject to China's recent export controls or near-monopoly production. By establishing domestic processing capability for these materials at
Their technology platform offers substantial advantages over traditional solvent extraction methods: reduced chemical usage, smaller footprint, minimal waste generation, and faster permitting. These factors enable rapid scaling and deployment across multiple locations � a crucial differentiator in the capital-intensive critical minerals sector.
The company's "feedstock-agnostic" approach and plans to expand into ore-based feedstocks (SEG, SEG+, MREC, MREO) suggest they're building a comprehensive processing capability that could reshape domestic critical mineral supply chains.

FISHERS, IN / / July 11, 2025 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:) ("American Resources") along with its holding in ReElement Technologies Corporation ("ReElement"), a leading U.S. innovator in rare earth element (REE) and critical mineral refining, is pleased to announce the launch of its urban mining-to-magnet rare earth supply chain. Through this offering, ReElement will provide toll processing services to separate and purify recycled rare earth magnets into high-purity Nd, NdPr, Dy, and Tb oxides - achieving purities of
ReElement is also recycling a range of strategic and esoteric critical minerals - many of which are subject to China's export controls or near-monopoly - including Terbium (Tb), Gallium (Ga), Germanium (Ge), Gadolinium (Gd), Samarium (Sm), Cobalt (Co), Yttrium (Y), and others essential to both commercial and defense-related high-tech applications. Under these partnerships, ReElement accepts material for recycling and returns the separated and purified oxides - or other desired chemical compound forms - with purities ranging from
Mark Jensen, CEO and Chairman of ReElement, commented, "Over the past decade, we've built an innovative platform - along with the processes and partnerships - to establish an economically viable rare earth and critical mineral supply chain here in the United States. Our Indiana facilities are producing high-purity, separated, and refined Nd, NdPr, and Dy, which we've delivered to domestic partners at costs competitive with Chinese pricing. We're proud to launch this collaborative tolling service for customers committed to building stable, long-term U.S.-based supply chains. If your operations require separated and purified rare earth oxides, reach out to our team - we're ready to help reduce your dependence on inefficient and unstable global supply channels. We firmly believe there's no other group in the U.S. capable of matching our combination of technical performance and pricing in delivering high-purity, refined rare earth and critical mineral products."
ReElement is feedstock-agnostic and has successfully processed magnets sourced from wind turbines, automotive rotors, power tool rotors, hard disk drives, electric motors, and magnetic separators. The company has also recycled magnetic swarf from magnet manufacturing operations, returning it to the production cycle.
In the coming months, ReElement expects to announce additional tolling partnerships involving SEG, SEG+, MREC, MREO, and other ore-based feedstocks - in addition to existing antimony refining services.
ReElement's refining platform - originally developed by Purdue for pharmaceutical purification - has been reengineered to separate rare earths and critical minerals with exceptional efficiency, scalability, and purity. Their patented, programmable platform handles multiple feedstocks and minerals, enabling rapid modular deployment across locations and resource types. Unlike legacy solvent extraction methods, it uses far fewer chemicals, requires less space, and generates minimal waste - making it faster to permit and simpler to co-locate near feedstock or end-use customers. This breakthrough eliminates a major chokepoint in global critical mineral supply chains, which has been dominated by single-source processing, no longer tenable as the U.S. must forge critical mineral supply chain independence, both through processing in the US and in partnership with allies abroad.
