Aclara Resources Inc Secures Tax Exemption Approval of over USD 20 Million for U.S. Heavy Rare Earth Separation Facility in Louisiana Aclara Resources Inc. announced that the State of Louisiana has granted final approval under the Industrial Tax Exemption Program (ITEP) for the Company's planned heavy rare earth separation facility at the Port of Vinton, Louisiana. The approval follows the execution of the Industrial Tax Exemption Contract by Governor Jeff Landry, providing an 80% exemption from ad valorem property taxes for an initial five-year period. Based on the Company's current estimates, the exemption is expected to generate approximately USD 4.2 million in annual property tax savings, representing approximately USD 20.8 million during the initial five-year term and has the opportunity to renew the exemption for five additional years. The facility will process mixed rare earth carbonates produced from Aclara's ionic clay deposits in Chile and Brazil into high-purity separated rare earth oxides. Once operational, the facility is expected to strengthen critical mineral supply chain resilience across the Western Hemisphere by enabling the large-scale production of heavy rare earths-including dysprosium, terbium, yttrium, gadolinium and samarium-which are essential for permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, robotics, wind turbines, and other advanced technologies. Aclara continues to advance engineering, permitting and financing activities for the Louisiana facility and is targeting to break ground during the fourth quarter of 2026. In parallel, the Company continues operating its rare earth separation pilot plant at Virginia Tech, where its proprietary solvent extraction technology is being demonstrated. The pilot plant is expected to provide approximately two years of operational data before the commercial facility enters production, further reducing scale-up risk and supporting an efficient commissioning process. Once its separation technology is fully validated, Aclara plans to apply, in the medium term, its separation technology in Brazil and other countries where it operates. Announcement • Jun 24
Aclara Resources Receives Environmental Qualification Resolution for the Penco Module Project Aclara Resources announced that the Environmental Qualification Resolution ("RCA") for the Penco Module project (the "Penco Module" or the "Project"), which is being developed in partnership with Grupo CAP, has been formally issued and published in Chile's Environmental Impact Assessment System ("SEIA"). The publication of the RCA formalizes the environmental approval granted by the Environmental Assessment Commission of the Biobío Region on June 8, 2026, thereby concluding the environmental assessment process for the Project. In addition to the RCA, the environmental approval includes the corresponding environmental authorizations associated with the applicable Sectoral Environmental Permits ("PAS") evaluated as part of the environmental review process. The RCA and associated environmental authorizations establish the environmental conditions, commitments, monitoring programs, and management measures that will govern the development and operation of the Project. With the environmental permitting phase now complete, the Company will advance the next stage of project development, including the processing of sectoral permits required for construction and operation, the completion of basic and detailed engineering activities, and the implementation of the environmental and community commitments established during the assessment process. The Company acknowledges and appreciates the participation of public agencies, local communities, Indigenous representatives, technical experts, academic institutions, and other stakeholders who contributed throughout the environmental review process. The Company will continue to maintain open and constructive communication with local communities, public authorities and other stakeholders as it advances the Project and fulfills its environmental commitments and monitoring programs.
