American Clean Resources Group, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• American Clean Resources Group, Inc. (ACRG) announced it entered a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Sustainable Metal Solutions, LLC (SMS) on March 11, 2026. Under the MSA ACRG may provide administrative and advisory services to SMS via written work orders. The company says the MSA is not material to its finances and does not give ACRG operational control, ownership, production rights, royalties, profit sharing, or other economic interests in SMS.
• ACRG reiterated it has previously agreed to arrangements to acquire an 80.1% interest in SMS. The MSA was prompted in part by an administrative regulatory review relating to a mine owned by SMS; a hearing before the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board is scheduled for March 18, 2026 regarding the procedural classification of a permit application amendment.

Key Details

• MSA signed on March 11, 2026 with Sustainable Metal Solutions, LLC (Wyoming LLC).
• ACRG may provide administrative/advisory services only, under written work orders; SMS retains sole operational, technical, regulatory, environmental, health & safety, and compliance responsibility.
• ACRG states the MSA does not create ownership, control, production, royalty, profit participation, or joint-venture rights.
• Regulatory: the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety reclassified a scope reduction as an “Amendment” under Colorado Rule 1.1(7), triggering an administrative hearing on March 18, 2026; the company says this is procedural, not an enforcement action.

Why It Matters

• For investors, the filing clarifies that the MSA itself does not give ACRG control or economic stakes in SMS and is not considered material to ACRG’s financial condition per the company.
• The planned 80.1% acquisition of SMS remains a separate matter; the administrative hearing on March 18, 2026 relates only to permit classification and could affect timing or next steps for the operator and any related permitting process.
• ACRG says it will disclose any material developments.
