US South builds a rare earth supply chain
Aclara Resources (ARA) and other companies are developing rare earth processing plants in the U.S. South, aiming to reduce dependence on China. Aclara plans a $494M plant in Louisiana, with potential $750M financing. Rare Earths Americas (REA) is exploring deposits in Georgia. Both companies' shares fell recently. The region's infrastructure and government support are key to these projects' success.
