ReElement Technologies Corporation said on Wednesday it had received a Minor Source air permit from Indiana and local authorities, clearing the way for the full operation of all four planned production lines at its Marion Supersite in Indiana.
The permit, issued by the State of Indiana, the City of Marion, Grant County and federal agencies, authorizes the installation, commissioning and operation of the facility’s chromatography-based separation technology. ReElement plans to refine rare earth elements and critical minerals from recycled materials, industrial byproducts and mineral feedstocks.
The Marion Supersite is designed to produce germanium, gallium, neodymium, neodymium-praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium, gadolinium, yttrium and samarium. Germanium and heavy rare earths already represent a substantial portion of ReElement’s order book, with demand driven by defense, energy, automotive, semiconductor and broader manufacturing supply chains.
Mark Jensen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ReElement, said the permit marked a key milestone in the company’s commercialization efforts. American Resources Corporation, which holds a minority stake in ReElement, issued a statement noting the development in a press release.
The Marion facility is located at the Marion Supersite in Marion, Indiana, with corporate offices in Fishers, Indiana.
