Aclara Resources Updates Carina Project's Mineral Resource Estimate

Aclara Resources Inc. has announced a significant update to the mineral resource estimate (MRE) for its Carina Project, situated in Goiás, Brazil. This revision marks a progression from inferred to indicated mineral resources, now totaling 236 million tonnes (Mt) of indicated resources alongside 48 Mt of inferred resources. Previously, the 2024 Resource Statement reported 297 Mt in inferred resources.

The upgrade is underpinned by a comprehensive drilling campaign, expanding from 4,104 meters over 363 drillholes to 24,564 meters across 1,682 drillholes. The results reflect stable grades of magnetic rare earths like dysprosium and terbium oxides. A robust geo-metallurgical database supports the project's process, analyzed from 14,001 samples compared to 3,789 previously.

Aclara's Chief Operating Officer, Hugh Broadhurst, emphasized the importance of this upgrade in preparation for the pre-feasibility study (PFS), essential to unlocking the full economic potential of the Carina deposit.
