The proposed financing package spans a 15-year repayment window, providing the capital necessary to scale Aclara's industrial capabilities. Once operational, the Louisiana facility will process raw rare-earth elements sourced from the company’s South American mining operations. The output—high-performance magnets and alloys—is intended for critical sectors including defense, electric vehicle manufacturing, and infrastructure supporting artificial intelligence hardware. Aclara anticipates the project will reach a shovel-ready status by the end of this year.
