| Statement |

| We believe our platform is very attractive for the current market as steel producers are looking to secure long-term supply chains of quality met carbon, not only domestically but also internationally |
| But not necessarily needed for all applications, not needed for energy storage in some of those markets that are already building out substantial amount of batteries, and it gives us the ability to scale quickly |
| Over the past several months, we have continued our execution on solidifying our strategic positioning within our addressable markets, which we believe positions our company for attractive long-term value creation |
| Just to reiterate, as the largest shareholder of American Resources and one of our largest shareholders of American Resources, our management team is committed to maximizing the value of all of our businesses and believe our continued execution and the unbundling of assets will help us to achieve this |
| In closing, we remain very confident in the positioning of all of our assets and the long-term value they provide to our shareholders |
| We believe ReElement is a very unique entity and provides investors with a tremendous value proposition |
| We are excited about that opportunity and we believe in the future from American Resources, as a holding company, we will be able to benefit greatly from these additional expansions we are evaluating |
| We also believe that we put together the best team to continue to drive the revolutionary refining technology and continue to add great talent to our team with the recent additions of Ben Weisman as President and Shane Tragathonas Vice President of International Strategy |
| Kirk Taylor, our CFO’s done an absolutely phenomenal job at that |
| We are excited and confident about the developing these pilot programs into long-term partnerships and communicating them in the near term with our investor base |
| We are extremely proud of our team with the execution of the recent closing of the merger between our sponsors back American Acquisition Opportunity and its target RoyaltyMajor Corporation |
| We have had early successes in developing partnerships such as the one we have established with our magnet and battery partners that we have already announced, and we continue to have good success with several other pilot programs where we are fostering collaborative opportunities within the automotive, wind energy, consumer power tools, and broader energy storage and recycling markets |
| Our relationships in West Africa, South Africa, as well as East Africa are substantial and very and moving very, very quickly and we are excited about the opportunity to import high value technology to Africa, create jobs for the population, one of the fastest growing population bases in the world, while also helping them drive manufacturing and solving the supply chain for the United States |
| Over the third quarter of 2023, we again showcase our operational flexibility, operating cash flow positively and generating approximately 3.5 million in net income, while continuing to position our unique set of assets while executing on our value creating initiatives |
| Our unique platform of assets is in great position to deliver what we believe is attractive returns and value to our shareholders, including our mining assets, our ReElement Technologies division, as well as our American Metals division, which we are in the process of strategically positioning within the electrified economy |
| As we frequently state, our ReElement Technologies division represents an incredibly exciting and very strategic opportunity for us |
| I have been to Africa myself three times over the last six-months, and the opportunities there not only for sourcing ores but also showcasing our technology is abundant, it is an amazing opportunity to create job opportunities within the local environment, to displace China’s dominance throughout the region and to do it in a way that is favorable to the local community |
| And we are excited about what the recyclers are doing |
| This is an exciting opportunity not only for us, but also to showcase and provide opportunities to a workforce that has been displaced by the energy transition marketplace |
| Kentucky Lithium, Kentucky Lithium project highlights another unique attribute of ours and how we are well-positioned to deploy our leading critical mineral refining technology |
| Our ability to produce high-purity lithium products and rare earth oxide from natural feedstocks showcases our platform’s flexibilities and differentiates us |
| Our Marion, Indiana campus which I was at today is coming along phenomenally well |
| The quality there is mid-vol met coal, highest quality you can produce in the country |
| To add to the comments that Mark made earlier regarding ReElement, the opportunities we have in front of us are extremely exciting |
| And pick up where we left off earlier in the year where we have realized some of our best fundamental production levels |
| So going into 2024, hit the ground running in a way that will be very nicely profitable |
| But should that not close, we are well positioned to still monetize the assets for our investors, create a royalty stream back to American Resources, dividend out those shares to our underlying investors, and position the company for growth as a standalone operating entity |
| We truly believe ReElement has the opportunity to create substantial value for our shareholders and the decision we, the decisions we make, and the time associated around the entire process, while sometimes outside of our control are based on maximizing that value the best that we can |
| It is been an exciting quarter for us, in terms of a number of avenues, but more importantly, our team has been extremely active this quarter on positioning and the execution at all of our divisions |
| So we think it is coal prices are good right now and we think they are going to get better over the next three to four months |
| Statement |

| Catalytic inverters, how they are sourced is on sometimes a little bit negative |
| Costs matter, the automotive industry, and especially in the EV chain, are losing money right now |
| But I think it is challenging as a standalone |
| Even though it is still early in energy transition, I believe we are starting to see those challenges manifest as projects utilizing solvent extraction or HydroMet are getting delayed or canceled |
| Now, my opinion is, it is very, very challenging to focus exclusively on mining rare earth elements from unconventional sources |
| It has always been our belief that attempting to deploy legacy Chinese refining technology in the United States or Europe or much of the industrialized world for that matter would pose a real challenge |
| We are getting, I mean, American Resources, we believe today is well below the fundamental value of the business and we have seen interest for the company as a whole obviously which we are not willing to do, above the current market value |
| Everybody’s missing the ability to refine lithium, to refine critical minerals, to refine, rare earth elements outside of China |
| The world has never really needed innovative innovation and critical mineral refining until now or maybe we just became complacent with China’s dominance of the overall market |
| And you are going to see more of that, in my opinion, in the United States where people are going to mothball solvent extraction facilities because it is not, it is not cost effective and it is extremely expensive to build |
| More importantly, it is extremely expensive to operate over time |
| Also the fact that we do intend to apply for infrastructure bill, grants and stuff of that nature, having it associated to a coal business, it makes that challenging |
| The China, Australia rebalance has taken place and now that the world markets are kind of stabilized in that regard, you are starting to see supply continue to go down, and demand has been increasing |
| And I apologize |
| And you will starting to see that the coal market got kind of whipsawed about four months ago |
| But, ReElement is that missing gap |
| We are uncertain on that aspect |
| Those type of facilities are extremely expensive to build and operate, due to the harsh chemicals, the waste output and maintenance at large scale |
| It is too costly to build and it doesn’t make money |
| Now, why is that important? One, you read a lot of negativity about mines in Africa and I have been to a bunch of them recently |
