American Resources is a materials company that transitioned its primary consolidated operations to scrap metal recovery following a corporate restructuring in late 2025. Through its subsidiary, Electrified Materials, American Resources aggregates, recovers, and sells processed metals and steel. This shift occurred after American Resources deconsolidated its primary coal mining business, American Infrastructure Corporation, and its rare earth element division, ReElement Technologies. Historically, the core business focused on coal mining across six subsidiaries in the Central Appalachian and Illinois basins. These operations produce metallurgical coal and pulverized coal injections for steelmaking, alongside high-BTU bituminous coal for industrial use. ReElement Technologies specializes in purifying rare earth elements and critical minerals from mineral deposits and recycled batteries. The business model for American Resources depends on the volume of materials processed and fluctuating commodity prices. Revenue for Electrified Materials is driven by the quantity of recovered metal sold, while the coal operations remain sensitive to global steel production cycles and mining costs. American Resources manages these varied segments by focusing on infrastructure and resource recovery.
