Aclara Resources submits final addendum to Penco Module EIA

Aclara Resources (ARAAF) has formally submitted the Extraordinary Addendum to the Environmental Assessment Service of Chile, as part of the final stage of the environmental evaluation process for the Penco Module Project. Addendum 3 delivers comprehensive and robust responses to the final round of observations raised during the technical assessment, reinforcing the Penco Module’s commitment to the highest environmental and social standards. The Penco Module is a key project that will produce significant quantities of heavy rare earths, which are critical to enabling a more diversified and cleaner global supply chain for these scarce elements. We are advancing a project that upholds the highest environmental standards and has the potential to deliver long-term value for the Biobio Region and Chile”. Addendum 3 provides detailed responses and updated studies across key environmental dimensions, including refined engineering designs, enhanced environmental analyses, and a section outlining adaptive measures in response to the wildfires that affected the project area in January of this year. Together, these updates strengthen the technical foundation of the Penco Module and reflect Aclara’s proactive and responsible approach to continuous improvement in environmental management.
