American Resources Corporation Signs Offtake and Financial Partnership to Start Carnegie 2 Mine

Company's long-standing partner and customer has provided a non-dilutive financial commitment of $2.5 million to start the Carnegie 2 mine with top tier equipment and infrastructure

FISHERS, IN / ACCESSWIRE / May 18, 2022 / American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) ("American Resources" or the "Company"), a next generation and socially responsible supplier of rare earth and critical elements, carbon and advanced carbon materials to the new infrastructure and electrification marketplace, today announced that it has signed a carbon offtake agreement along with a non-dilutive financial commitment of $2.5 million with a long-standing customer and premier supplier of metallurgical carbon to the global steel and alloy metal marketplace, Integrity Coal Sales ("Integrity"), to start its Carnegie 2 mine. This incremental production will enable the Company to benefit from the current strength in the high vol met carbon market, aligning the risk and return for both Integrity and American Resources.

Mark Jensen, CEO of American Resources commented, "Integrity Coal Sales has been a strong customer and partners of ours for a number of years, and we are focused on working together for everyone's success. Together, we're developing long term opportunities to expand low cost metallurgical carbon production to feed global steel demand for the infrastructure market. Finalizing the development of the Carnegie 2 mine coupled with the very strong market for high vol met carbon in the international markets provides a very attractive return on capital for our shareholders. This will further expand our production out of the McCoy Elkhorn complex while we are also expanding our Carnegie 1 mine production capabilities".

High Vol metallurgical carbon is not burned for energy use. Instead, specific characteristics allow it to be blended with iron to make new steel. This quality of product is in high demand in the current market environment given many of the producers in the U.S. are producing from old mines that are expensive to operate and coming to end-of-life. American Resources is focused on mine plans and operations that are built to be low cost once ramped ranging from 20 to 40+ years while also making them safer and more productive operations. Post initial production ramp Carnegie 2 is anticipating adding $25 to $35 million in additional yearly revenue to the company's top line with attractive margins.

American Resources continues to focus on running efficient streamlined operations in being a new-aged supplier of raw materials to the infrastructure and electrification marketplace in the most sustainable of ways, while also helping the world achieve its goals of carbon neutrality. By operating with low or no legacy costs and having one of the largest and most innovative growth pipelines in the industry, American Resources Corporation works to maximize value for its investors by positioning its large asset base to best fit a new-aged economy, while being able to scale its operations to meet the growth of the markets it serves.
