MKANGO UNAFFECTED BY MALAWI EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 2 OF 2025
London / Vancouver: 28 October 2025 - Mkango Resources Ltd (AIM / TSX-V:MKA) (the "Company" or "Mkango"), acknowledges the recent Executive Order by His Excellency Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, President of the Republic of Malawi, regarding the prohibition of the export of raw minerals, promoting local value addition and ensuring that the mineral resources of Malawi contribute to the economic development and prosperity of the country.
The Songwe Hill rare earth mining project ("Songwe" or the "Project") will be producing a value-added processed and refined mixed rare earth carbonate product at the mine site in Malawi. As such, the prohibitions outlined in Executive Order No. 2 of 2025 are not applicable to Songwe as the ban only relates to minerals that have not been processed, refined, or value-added in Malawi.
Following the announcement of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation project development funding agreement, Mkango is progressing preparations to initiate the Front-End Engineering and Design.
About Mkango Resources Ltd.
Mkango is listed on the AIM and the TSX-V. Mkango's corporate strategy is to become a market leader in the production of recycled rare earth magnets, alloys and oxides, through its interest in Maginito, which is owned 79.4 per cent by Mkango and 20.6 per cent by CoTec, and to develop new sustainable sources of neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium to supply accelerating demand from electric vehicles, wind turbines and other clean energy technologies.
Maginito holds a 100 per cent interest in HyProMag and a 90 per cent direct and indirect interest (assuming conversion of Maginito's convertible loan) in HyProMag GmbH, focused on short loop rare earth magnet recycling in the UK and Germany, respectively, and a 100 per cent interest in Mkango Rare Earths UK Ltd ("Mkango UK"), focused on long loop rare earth magnet recycling in the UK via a chemical route.
Maginito and CoTec are also rolling out HPMS recycling technology into the United States via the 50/50 owned HyProMag USA LLC joint venture company.
Mkango also owns the advanced stage Songwe Hill rare earths project in Malawi ("Songwe") and the Pulawy rare earths separation project in Poland ("Pulawy"). Both the Songwe and Pulawy projects have been selected as Strategic Projects under the European Union Critical Raw Materials Act. Mkango has signed a BCA with CPTK to list the Songwe Hill and Pulawy rare earths projects on NASDAQ via a SPAC Merger.
