WHY IT MATTERS
Why America Needs New Mineral Infrastructure
Rising Dependence on Foreign Processing
The U.S. depends on foreign processing for critical minerals — creating vulnerabilities across defense, energy, and technology.
Millions of Tons of Unused Tailings
Legacy mine tailings contain valuable, recoverable minerals — an overlooked domestic resource with strategic potential.
Critical Minerals Power America’s Future
Critical minerals support U.S. defense, energy, and advanced manufacturing — and demand is accelerating far faster than domestic supply.
Strategic Sites Powering U.S. Mineral Supply
ACRG’s Critical Mineral Hubs
ACRG’s Hubs transform legacy mine tailings into valuable minerals that support U.S. energy, defense, and advanced manufacturing.
Millers Nevada Critical Mineral Processing Hub
Our flagship hub will process millions of tons of legacy mine tailings using advanced clean-tech methods to unlock domestic mineral resources.
Critical Minerals Processing Is a National Security Issue
ACRG is building the domestic infrastructure to process above-ground waste streams already
on U.S. soil – using onsite, closed-loop methods that move no material and create no new
contamination.
EXPERTISE
WHAT WE DO
Advanced processing solutions designed to recover valuable minerals efficiently and sustainably.
01
Custom Processing & Toll Milling
We process above-ground feedstocks—tailings, coal ash, slag, and produced water—through our vertically integrated processing operation, Tonopah Custom Processing, using onsite, closed-loop methods that eliminate the need to relocate large volumes of material. The result: recovered precious metals and critical minerals for U.S. supply chains, delivered through a model purpose-built for the realities of modern environmental, regulatory, and community standards.
02
Advanced Toll-Processing with CHIPS™ Technology
Our partnership with ENERG4 enables advanced chemical distillation, drying, and mixing. Using CHIPS™, we increase mineral recovery efficiency across diverse ore types.
03
Energy Exploration & Geothermal Build-Out
We explore and expand geothermal and clean-energy opportunities that support the long-term development of Critical Mineral Processing Hubs.
04
Land Holdings & Site Leasing
We manage strategic land assets and provide long-term site leasing options for Hub development, ensuring scalable growth across multiple states.
FOUNDER’s Note
Tawana Bain is the Founder, CEO, and Executive Chairwoman of American Clean Resources Group (OTC: ACRG), a publicly traded critical minerals processing company focused on building U.S. infrastructure to recover precious metals and rare earth elements from above-ground waste streams already located on American soil.
Bain’s career has been built at the intersection of environmental compliance, capital, and community engagement. As the founder of NAC, she led technical writing, regulatory documentation, stakeholder relations, and community engagement programs, supported by survey research and data analysis, marketing strategy, and creative asset development.
NAC served as an integrated communications and back-office infrastructure partner for engineering firms executing federal infrastructure programs. Under her leadership, the company became a trusted partner to firms including Stantec, CH2M Hill, and AECOM, earning a reputation for rigor, discretion, and execution capability in capital-intensive federal projects.
She later founded TBAIN & Co. and expanded into hospitality, media, and live events, building a multi-industry operating portfolio across regulated and consumer-facing sectors. This experience strengthened her financial discipline, multi-state operational expertise, and capital deployment capabilities.
At ACRG, Bain leads a five-workstream strategy encompassing project finance, federal permitting, utility-tariff negotiation, SEC governance, and partnership development with EPC, technology, and capital partners. The company is currently advancing two SEC-compliant SK-1300 assets and pursuing an NYSE uplisting, while actively engaging with senior officials across the executive branch on the United States’ critical minerals strategy.
Bain’s leadership has positioned ACRG as a domestic processing solution to a supply chain challenge that the United States can no longer afford to outsource.
