About Aclara

Aclara is a development -stage rare earth mineral resources company located in Chile. Aclara is initiating the

development of its resources through a project called the Penco Module (the “ Penco Module”), which covers a

surface area of approximately 600 hectares and which has ionic clays that are rich in rare earth elements. Aclara

is currently focused on the development and on the future construction and operation of the Penco Module, which

will aim to produce a rare earth concentrate through a processing pl ant that will be fed by clays from nearby

deposits. Aclara’s unique extraction process offers several advantages such as: no blasting, crushing or milling

required; no tailings dam; minimal water consumption due to a high level of water recirculation; amenable leaching

with a fertilizer; and no radioactivity.
