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:

1. Mineral exploration & development | Aclara Resources

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.

2. Separation | Aclara Technologies

Product: Rare earth oxides

Aclara Technologies will source high purity MREC from Aclara’s Carina Project in Brazil and Penco Module in Chile. These carbonates will then be separated into pure individual rare earth oxides in the separation facility based in the United States.We have published the initial engineering studies for a solvent extraction plant, using conceptual engineering developed by Hatch Ltd. We are currently putting together a team comprised of internal engineers and high-quality consultants, who have begun working on the flowsheet optimization and the development of a separation pilot plant specifically designed for our carbonates. This strategy has provided new opportunities for Aclara, increasing our dialogue with several governments interested in supporting our project.

3. Metals & alloys | Aclara Metals

Aclara has started to develop its metals and alloys capabilities through a joint venture with CAP S.A., the Company’s strategic partner in Chile. Our goal is to be able to connect all aspects of the production of clean rare earths up to the point where they meet the specification demanded by permanent magnet manufacturers.

Artificial intelligence throughout the entire rare earths value chain

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

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. CAP operates extensively in northern Chile and the Concepción region—near our Penco Module—across mining, steelmaking, and infrastructure sectors.
