American Resources Corp

American Resources Corp is a U.S.-based natural resources company that has historically been centered on metallurgical and thermal coal assets in Appalachia and Indiana, while also building newer businesses around rare earth processing and metal recovery. The company operates through a mix of mining, processing, royalty, and service activities, with several subsidiaries and variable interest entities tied to its resource portfolio. In recent periods, coal production has been suspended and the business has relied more on processing fees, royalty income, and early-stage revenues from ReElement and Electrified Materials. The company is headquartered in Fishers, Indiana and manages a small direct workforce alongside contract labor and operating subsidiaries in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Indiana.
