Our mine to alloy solution

Aclara's mine-to-alloy rare earth solution addresses the growing need for a geopolitically independent supply chain for these critical metals used in advanced technologies such as robotics, drones, and electric vehicles. Aclara’s business consists of 3 key areas:

1. Mineral development

Product: Mixed Rare Earth Carbonates (“MREC”) 


Aclara´s heavy rare earths production stems from two world-class ionic clay deposits that could represent 12% of the total DyTb production of China’s 2024 output and is estimated to contribute to the production of approximately 5 million electric vehicles per year.

2. Separation

Product: Rare earth oxides

Project Dynamo is Aclara’s rare earth separation facility in the United States, designed to transform high-purity mixed rare earth carbonates from the Company’s projects in Brazil and Chile into individual rare earth oxides. In partnership with Virginia Tech, Aclara is currently advancing separation pilot operations, while also developing its commercial facility in Louisiana. Additionally, Aclara is working with the U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory, to develop an artificial intelligence–enabled digital twin for Aclara’s heavy rare earth separation process.

3. Metals & alloys


Aclara is expanding its rare earths value chain through Aclara Metals, a joint venture with CAP S.A., its strategic partner in Chile. The objective is to produce rare earth metals and alloys that meet the specifications required by permanent magnet manufacturers—particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) sector.

The facility will utilize rare earth oxides from Aclara’s mining and separation processes to manufacture high-purity alloys tailored to magnet production.

Artificial intelligence throughout the entire rare earths value chain

Aclara is digitizing the entire rare earths processing chain by developing digital twins - from our exploration campaigns to concentration and separation plants. Furthermore, Aclara is revolutionizing rare earth element exploration in ionic clays with an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) system that analyzes spectral images.

Corporate development

Aclara is supported by two prominent shareholders:  Hochschild Group  and CAP S.A.

The Hochschild Group, which holds a 19.32% stake in Aclara, brings over a century of experience and a strong track record of responsible business development across Latin America. Through Hochschild Mining (LSE: HOC), the Group operates three precious metals mines across Peru, Argentina, and Brazil, with an enterprise value of USD 3.7 billion. Beyond mining and construction, the Hochschild family has played a significant role in advancing education and social development, having founded and maintained leading institutions such as UTEC, TECSUP, and Amanatari, which supports Amazonian Indigenous communities.

CAP S.A., a leading Chilean conglomerate and the world’s fifth-largest iron ore producer, owns 12.92% of the Company. 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 funds the Penco Module operations, 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.
