The rare earths mine to magnet solution

Developing two advanced-stage heavy rare earth deposits

Carina Project (Brazil) and Penco Module (Chile)

Aclara is developing two ionic clay deposits in the Americas using its patented Circular Mineral Harvesting technology, capable of producing a high-grade rare earth concentrate without generating tailings, while recirculating 95% of the water and 99% of the reagent used in the process, all without the use of explosives. Carina and Penco have the potential to supply the equivalent of 16% of China’s official 2023 heavy rare earth output.

Rare earth separation in the U.S.

Aclara Resources is advancing a rare earth separation pilot plant in the United States in partnership with Virginia Tech to demonstrate a solvent extraction process specifically tailored to the ionic clay composition of its deposits. In parallel, Aclara is collaborating with Argonne National Laboratory to develop an artificial intelligence-enabled digital twin for its heavy rare earth separation process. The company’s planned commercial separation facility will be located in Louisiana.

Growth Opportunities

Aclara’s growth strategy extends beyond its current projects, with clear opportunities across exploration and processing:
‍Exploration: Expansion into additional ionic clay deposits, supported by the company's collaboration with Stanford University to develop advanced AI-enabled exploration technologies that enhance targeting and discovery of new rare earth projects.
‍Processing: Scaling downstream capabilities to handle additional feed materials, including the potential to process third-party rare earth feedstock, strengthening Aclara’s position as a flexible and integrated rare earth separation platform.
