Aclara Resources, Inc. ( (TSE:ARA) ) has shared an update.

Aclara Technologies Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Aclara Resources, has signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory to develop an artificial intelligence–enabled digital twin for its heavy rare earth solvent extraction process. Leveraging Argonne’s SolventX modeling platform, advanced computing and AI capabilities, and Aclara’s proprietary pilot-scale data, the partners aim to create a high-fidelity virtual replica of Aclara’s separation operations that will support advanced simulation, optimization, and predictive control. The initiative is designed to accelerate ramp-up from pilot to industrial scale, improve operational efficiency and recovery rates, and enhance process resilience by enabling rapid adaptation to changing feed and operating conditions, complementing Aclara’s Virginia Tech pilot plant expected to start operations in March 2026 and strengthening its positioning in the emerging U.S. rare earth supply chain.

Spark’s Take on TSE:ARA Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:ARA is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by development-stage fundamentals (no revenue, ongoing losses, and significant negative free cash flow), partially offset by a strong, low-leverage balance sheet. Technicals are supportive with the price above major moving averages, but valuation remains constrained by negative earnings and no dividend support.
