    USA Rare Earth (Nasdaq: USAR) plans to acquire Brazilian rare earths producer Serra Verde Group for a total value of about $2.8 billion, a move that could position the new company among the few Western producers of heavy rare earths outside China.

    The agreement, announced Monday, includes $300 million in cash and 126.849 million newly issued USA Rare Earth shares at $19.95 apiece, implying an equity value of $2.8 billion for Serra Verde. The company operates the Pela Ema project in Goiás state, Latin America’s only producing rare earths mine.
