(TSX: ARA), a Toronto Stock Exchange listed company, is\nfocused on building a vertically integrated supply chain for rare earths\nalloys used in permanent magnets. This strategy is supported by Aclara's\ndevelopment of rare earth mineral resources hosted in ionic clay deposits,\nwhich contain high concentrations of the scarce heavy rare earths, providing\nthe Company with a long-term, reliable source of these critical materials. The\nCompany's rare earth mineral resource development projects include the Carina\nProject in the State of Goiás, Brazil as its flagship project and the Penco\nModule in the Biobío Region of Chile. Both projects feature Aclara's patented\ntechnology named Circular Mineral Harvesting, which offers a sustainable and\nenergy-efficient extraction process for rare earths from ionic clay deposits.\nThe Circular Mineral Harvesting process has been designed to minimize the\nwater consumption and overall environmental impact through recycling and\ncircular economy principles. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aclara\nTechnologies Inc., the Company is further enhancing its product value by\ndeveloping a rare earths separation plant in the United States. This facility\nwill process mixed rare earth carbonates sourced from Aclara's mineral\nresource projects, separating them into pure individual rare earth oxides. The\nCompany also operates a rare earth separation pilot plant at the Virginia Tech\nCorporate Research Center in Blacksburg, Virginia. Additionally, Aclara\nthrough a joint venture with CAP, is advancing its alloy-making capabilities\nto convert these refined oxides into the alloys needed for fabricating\npermanent magnets. This joint venture leverages CAP's extensive expertise in\nmetal refining and special ferro-alloyed steels. Beyond the Carina Project and\nthe Penco Module, Aclara is committed to expanding its mineral resource\nportfolio by exploring greenfield opportunities and further developing\nprojects within its existing concessions in Brazil, Chile, and Peru, aiming to\nincrease future production of heavy rare earths.\n\nForward-Looking Statements\n\nThis news release contains \"forward-looking information\" within the meaning of\napplicable securities legislation (collectively, \"forward-looking\nstatements\").
