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 plant 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.
