American Resources Corporation Through Its Minority Stake In ReElement Technologies Announces A Tokenization Services Agreement With SAGINT

American Resources Corporation (NASDAQ:AREC) ("American Resources" or the "Company") through its minority holding in ReElement Technologies Corporation ("ReElement"), a leading U.S. innovator in rare earth element (REE) and critical mineral refining, today announced it has entered into a Tokenization Services Agreement with SAGINT Inc. ("SAGINT"), a provider of digital asset infrastructure for supply chain traceability and market price transparency. As part of the partnership, American Resources will also take a strategic equity position in SAGINT to support its continued growth.

The strategic agreement will deploy blockchain-based tokenization to create verifiable digital warehouse receipts and traceable digital assets for refined critical and rare earth minerals produced by ReElement. The solution delivers end-to-end provenance from mine origin through refining, enables secure borderless financing options, and ensures full compliance with evolving U.S. regulatory requirements with complete transparency for commercial and defense customer product deliveries.

Key benefits of the tokenized platform include:

Immutable, real-time supply chain traceability

Digitized warehouse receipts that reduce counterparty and geopolitical risk

Streamlined access to compliant capital markets and new revenue streams

Enhanced transparency for government, defense and infrastructure customers

"This strategic agreement represents a pivotal advancement for ReElement and the entire domestic critical minerals sector," said Mark Jensen, Chief Executive Officer of ReElement Technologies. "By integrating SAGINT's institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure, we are establishing the most secure, transparent and compliant critical mineral supply chain in the industry - an essential foundation for U.S. energy independence and national security. Furthermore, the SAGINT platform enables us to meet the specific requirements of our defense customers who demand verifiable traceability and transparency of products we sell them such as high-purity yttrium, gadolinium, germanium, samarium, and other rare earth and critical minerals."
