About Aclara
Aclara Resources Inc. (TSX: ARA), a Toronto Stock Exchange listed company, is focused on building a vertically
integrated supply chain for rare earths alloys used in permanent magnets. This strategy is supported by Aclara’s
development of rare earth mineral res ources hosted in ionic clay deposits, which contain high concentrations of
the scarce heavy rare earths, providing the Company with a long-term, reliable source of these critical materials.
The Company’s rare earth mineral resource development projects include the Carina Project in the State of Goiás,
Brazil as its flagship project and the Penco Module in the Bi o-Bio Region of Chile. Both projects feature Aclara’s
patented technology named Circular Mineral Harvesting, which offers a sustainable and energy-efficient extraction
process for rare earths from ionic clay deposits. The Circular Mineral Harvesting process has been designed to
minimize the water consumption and overall environm ental impact through recycling and circular economy
principles. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aclara Technologies Inc., the Company is further enhancing its
product value by developing a rare earths separation plant in the United St ates. This facility will process mixed
2
rare earth carbonates sourced from Aclara’s mineral resource projects, separating them into pure individual rare
earth oxides. Additionally, Aclara through a joint venture with CAP S.A., is advancing its alloy-making capabilities
to convert these refined oxides into the alloys needed for fabricating permanent magnets. This joint venture
leverages CAP’s extensive expertise in metal refining and special ferro-alloyed steels. Beyond the Carina Project
and the Penco Module, Aclara is committed to expanding its mineral resource portfolio by exploring greenfield
opportunities and further developing projects within its exis ting concessions in Brazil, Chile, and Peru, aiming to
increase future production of heavy rare earths.
