The Critical Minerals Processing Hub Mode
The Critical Minerals Processing Hub Mode
THE CRITICAL MINERALS PROCESSING HUB MODEL
MILLERS, NEVADA - LAUNCH SITE
Project Overview
American Clean Resources Group (ACRG), a critical minerals processing company focused on domestic supply chain development, will establish Critical Mineral Processing Hubs in the Western United States, starting with our privately held land in Millers, Nevada. Rich in tailings deposits, this site will serve as the launch point for a national Hub network.
This U.S.-based critical mineral solution will answer national security priorities and enhance U.S. supply chain independence.
- 1,183 acres of privately owned property positioned for critical mineral processing development
- 387 acre-feet of annual water rights (~126 million gallons per year)
- Recently drilled well supporting operational readiness
- Existing NV Energy power station located on the property
- Direct connection to regional energy distribution infrastructure serving California
THE (CMPH) MODEL
We will establish centralized processing facilities across the Western U.S. that serve multiple feedstock sources. Hubs will begin with privately held lands and expand to include tailings from owners within a 50-mile radius who lack their own processing capacity. Our focus will be on reprocessing previously mined materials (mining waste) using innovative technologies.
- 4,000 TONS PROCESSING CAPACITY PER HUB, DAILY
- PRODUCTION IN 12-18 MONTHS / VS 10+YEARS
- SCALABLE REGIONAL HUB CONCEPT
- MULTIPLE MINERALS PROCESSED AT EACH HUB
- REPROCESSING = ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
- MINIMAL MINING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
- BUILT IN REDUNDANCY TO ELIMINATE DOWNTIME

THE PROBLEM
CRITICAL MINERAL CRISIS
Of U.S. Critical Minerals Imported From Adversarial Nations
Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
- China Controls 60% of Rare Earth Mining and 90% of Processing
- Single Points of Failure Across the Defense Supply Chain
Abandoned Mine Sites Across the United States
The Real Bottleneck
- America Lacks Processing Capacity
- 10-15 Year Permitting Timeline for New Mines
- Billions of Dollars in Value are Wasting Away in Tailings Piles Across the U.S.
Estimated Value in U.S. Mine Tailings
Administration Priority
- Critical Minerals = National Security
- $200B+ in Government Capital Available
- Office of Strategic Capital Activated
Development Strategy & Expansion
ACRG’s strategy involves tapping into existing assets while eyeing future acquisitions, aligning operations across air, water, and land both vertically and horizontally. A key initiative includes reprocessing mineral waste from current and previously closed mines to support environmental compliance and advance U.S. critical mineral independence. The company plans to launch its first processing Hub in Millers within the next 12–18 months, establishing the foundation for a broader network of processing Hubs across the Western United States while expanding its capabilities in toll, specialty, and custom milling services for precious and rare-earth metals.
Integrated Energy Platform (ACE)
Our joint venture, ACE (American Clean Energy), is an integrated energy platform delivering reliable, cost-effective power for critical minerals processing. ACE will develop geothermal, solar, and natural gas generation to ensure energy independence and cost predictability across ACRG’s Hub network.
Integrated Energy Platform (ACE)
STRENGTHEN THE U.S. SUPPLY CHAIN
Develop state-of-the-art facilities to process critical minerals domestically, reducing dependence on foreign refiners and advancing energy independence.
TURN ABANDONED MINE WASTE INTO ECONOMIC GROWTH
Create a network of Hubs across the Western U.S., anchored by Nevada, to optimize logistics, energy availability, and workforce development.
ACCELERATE THROUGH PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP
We will work in partnership with federal and state agencies to accelerate permitting, remediation, and processing efforts, ensuring scalable replication nationwide.
MILLERS SITE DEFINED
PROPERTY
16 km (10 miles) west of Tonopah in west central Nevada, 1,183 acres and is surrounded by land administered by the federal Bureau of Land Management.
SOURCE
The tailings at Millers were sourced entirely from the Tonopah mining district, a leading silver-gold mining operation in the Western United States.
RESOURCE DATA
An estimated 3 million tons of tailings are on site.
400 million dollars of gross metal value - primarily gold and silver have been identified.
A process flowsheet for the recovery of gold and silver has been defined. Additional metallurgical test work is in progress to optimize metal recoveries.
Critical mineral extraction can begin 12-18 months from the date of project regulatory final approval.
An SK 1300 technical exploration report has been prepared by a qualified / credentialed geologist.
