American Resources Chosen by U.S. DOE for Rare Earth Recovery Pilot

AREC is entering U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) award negotiations for a pilot project to recover rare earths from coal byproducts, supporting an integrated U.S. critical-minerals supply chain. The initiative is a constructive step toward domestic sourcing, though it is in the negotiation/pilot stage and unlikely to move markets materially in the near term.
