(“American Resources” or the “Company”), a
next generation and socially responsible supplier of raw materials
to the new infrastructure marketplace, today announced that it has
acquired additional production equipment to expand its base of
carbon production and efficiencies at Perry County Resources as
well as prepare for the potential opportunity to bring other
complexes online in the future.
The worldwide market for metallurgical carbon is showing strength
in terms of long-term fundamental demand as COVID-19 vaccines have
begun to be administered. With this, the Company have seen
economies begin to prepare and activate economic stimulus to pull
their economies forward to a more modern-day economy, which
requires a significant infrastructure spend. The Company had the
opportunity to acquire this expansive fleet of equipment at a very
attractive price, and what it believes to be a fraction of its
marketable value given its ability to act quickly due to the
strength of its balance sheet.
Thomas Sauve, President of American Resources said, “We have
some of the highest quality, lowest cost and longest life assets in
the country for producing metallurgical carbon. Our efforts to
acquire, restructure and reposition our assets enables us to move
swiftly to bring operations online when the market dictates. Given
our cost structure and financial flexibility, we are excited to
closely monitor the markets and utilize our advantages to expand
our production base in the near future. This spread of equipment we
have acquired, and the price we paid, showcases our extremely low
capex model of accretive expansion of production. We look forward
to the years ahead of us and putting this equipment to
work.”
American Resources Corporation, with its three divisions, American
Carbon, American Rare Earth and American Metals is built to
leverage the growth of infrastructure and electrification markets
that are predicted to see significant expansion over the next
decade. The current administration in United States has stated its
intention to advance a green economy, which will require
substantial infrastructure redevelopment and a significant spend on
U.S. produced steel as well as growth in the electric vehicle
fleet.
