Aclara Resources

Aclara Resources is developing ionic clay rare earth deposits in Chile and Brazil to secure heavy rare earth elements critical for electric vehicles, wind turbines, and defense applications. Its patented Circular Mineral Harvesting process eliminates explosives, drilling, and milling, while recycling nearly all water and reagents, enabling low-impact rare earth extraction with full land reforestation. Aclara is digitizing its mining and processing chain using digital twins and has formed a collaboration with Stanford University to apply AI for supply chain resilience. With government partnerships in the Americas, the company is positioned as a strategic supplier of dysprosium and terbium outside Asia.
