Founders’ prior work: Goiás prioritization before Carina
Before MAINERAL was founded, Aclara engaged the founders for regolith-targeting work across South America. The 2022 delivery prioritized Brazilian exploration areas and identified Goiás as the principal priority delivered to Aclara.
The founders’ role
Paulina Vergara led the targeting engagement and Yuri Olivares co-developed the methodology used in the work. Their delivery ranked regions and defined Goiás as the principal priority for Aclara.
Aclara’s role
Aclara acted on the opportunity, secured the concessions, designed and executed the exploration campaign, drilled the project, and announced the discovery and subsequent project results.
Aclara entered an earn-in agreement over concessions in Goiás.
Aclara drilled 238 auger holes totaling 1,731 metres.
Aclara announced the Carina rare earth discovery.
