Our mine to magnet solution
Aclara´s mine to magnet solution for rare earths responds to the need for creating a geopolitically independent supply chain for permanent magnets, a much-needed performance enhancer for the motors of electric vehicles, wind turbines, robotics and other applications associated with global decarbonization. Aclara’s business consists of 3 key areas:
Product: Mixed Rare Earth Carbonates (“MREC”)
Aclara´s heavy rare earths production stems from two world-class ionic clay deposits that could represent 16% of the total DyTb production of China’s 2023 output and is estimated to contribute to the production of approximately 8 million electric vehicles per year.
Our technology:
CIRCULAR MINERAL HARVESTING
Product: Rare earth oxides
Aclara Technologies Inc., the Company is further enhancing its product value by developing a rare earths separation plant in the United States. This facility will process mixed rare earth carbonates sourced from Aclara’s mineral resource projects, separating them into pure individual rare earth oxides.
The separation flowsheet concept, based on solvent extraction, was developed in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Research Council. This concept provided the foundation for Hatch to complete a Class 5-AACE CAPEX and OPEX estimate, while also incorporating robust environmental features such as significant waste reduction and zero liquid discharge. The initial results are highly encouraging, and positions Aclara to become the first vertically integrated heavy rare earths company outside of Asia.

Aclara is advancing its metals and alloys capabilities through a joint venture with CAP S.A., the Company’s strategic partner in Chile. The goal is to integrate the entire clean rare earths production chain up to the point where it meets permanent magnet manufacturers' specifications.
This facility will use rare earth oxides from Aclara’s mining and separation processes to produce alloys tailored to the needs of electric vehicle (“EV”) magnet makers.

Corporate development
Aclara is supported by two prominent shareholders: Hochschild Group and CAP S.A.
Our principal shareholder is the Hochschild Group, which holds a 57.7% stake in Aclara. Hochschild is a respected economic group with over 100 years of experience in the Americas, known for its responsible and innovative approach to resource development. Through its flagship company, Hochschild Mining PLC, the group has built a solid track record in underground precious metals mining, with operations in Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil.
In 2024, Aclara entered into a strategic investment agreement with CAP S.A., a leading Chilean conglomerate and the world’s fifth-largest iron ore producer. With operations spanning mining, steelmaking, and infrastructure in northern Chile and the Concepción region—near our Penco Module—CAP brings deep regional expertise and a strong track record in obtaining environmental permits. This partnership fully funds the Penco Module for the next 3 to 4 years, supports research and development for vertical integration opportunities, and provides access to CAP’s advanced metals and alloying capabilities to further develop Aclara's vertical integration solutions.
