Aftermath Silver reports strong Phase 3 drill results at Berenguela project in Peru

American Resources Corp CEO Mark Jensen joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on its subsidiary ReElement Technologies Corporation and the continued progress of its Phase 1 refining campus buildout in Marion, Indiana. Jensen announced that ReElement has expanded its Phase 1 development plan to include four production lines capable of processing both recycled and primary feedstocks. Once fully operational, the facility is expected to deliver more than 16,000 metric tons of annual separated and purified oxide capacity, positioning the company as a significant emerging player in the rare earth and critical minerals refining space. The project remains on schedule and is tracking substantially under budget, with initial production targeted for the third quarter of 2026. Full commissioning of Phase 1 is expected to take place through the remainder of the year, marking a key milestone as the company transitions from development into scaled operations. Jensen emphasized that the Marion expansion reflects the company’s ability to execute efficiently while partnering with high-quality supply chain and investment groups focused on reshaping the global refining industry. Over the past year, ReElement has moved from product validation into scaled deployment, steadily increasing capacity while optimizing its cost structure to remain competitive on both pricing and volume in global markets. At the core of the company’s strategy is its “refining-first” platform, designed for flexibility and adaptability. The system can process a wide range of feedstocks and adjust in real time to changing inputs and market dynamics. Through advanced process controls and data-driven optimization, ReElement is reducing chemical usage, lowering energy consumption, and cutting overall operating costs compared to traditional refining approaches. These innovations allow the company to compete not only on product purity and versatility but also on economic efficiency—delivering a scalable and commercially viable solution for domestic and allied markets. With more than 80% of global rare earth refining capacity currently concentrated outside the United States, the development of domestic refining infrastructure is increasingly viewed as critical to strengthening supply chain security. ReElement’s ability to process both recycled and primary materials into high-purity outputs directly addresses the midstream refining gap, offering a modular and environmentally responsible alternative to conventional solvent-based refining methods. These traditional processes are often difficult to deploy outside of China due to environmental, capital, and operational challenges, further highlighting the strategic importance of ReElement’s approach. #proactiveinvestors #americanresourcescorporation #nasdaq #arec #ReElementTechnologies #MiningIndaba2026 #AfricanMining #CriticalMinerals #RareEarthElements #SupplyChainSecurity #StrategicMetals #CleanEnergyMaterials #IndustrialInnovation #GlobalMining #USIndustry #AlliedSupplyChains #MiningConference #ProactiveInvestors #marion #indiana

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the first batch of assay results from the company’s Phase 3 diamond drilling program at its Berenguela silver-copper-manganese deposit in the Department of Puno, southern Peru. Rushton said the latest results cover 17 drill holes totaling 1,061.6 metres, part of an initial 45-hole program. Encouraged by positive geological indicators, strong drill access, and the efficiency of a smaller diamond drill rig, the company has expanded the program significantly to 90 holes totaling approximately 6,000 metres. The company also made a strategic shift from its originally planned 2,000-metre reverse circulation (RC) program to diamond drilling at a comparable cost. This transition provides enhanced geological insight, including improved core recovery, structural interpretation, and geotechnical logging—key factors in advancing the project toward development. The reported drill holes are primarily focused on infill drilling along a 225-metre strike length within the boundaries of the existing mineral resource. The objective is to better define near-surface, high-grade mineralization that could support a potential starter pit as part of future mining operations. Aftermath Silver is concentrating its efforts on the western portion of the deposit, where higher-grade silver-copper mineralization has been identified close to surface. This area is considered a strong candidate for initial open-pit development, offering the potential for lower-cost, early-stage production. Rushton noted that the latest intercepts rank among the strongest results seen across the company’s three phases of drilling to date. He also highlighted the consistent and encouraging association between silver and copper mineralization, which could enhance the overall economic profile of the Berenguela project moving forward. #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #BerenguelaProject #SilverProject #CopperProject #Manganese #PreFeasibilityStudy #PFS #MiningDevelopment #PeruMining #Mining #Silver #Copper #PeruMining #DrillingResults #ResourceDevelopment #MineralExploration #JuniorMining #Commodities
