Amigo Resources PLC (LSE: AMGO) is pleased to announce that Zirco Roode Heuwel (Pty) Ltd ("Zirco Roode"), the holder of the Kamiesberg Mineral Sands Project in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa (the "Kamiesberg Project"), has been granted a 20-year mining right over the Sabies and Langkuil properties, resulting in all four properties of the Kamiesberg Project now being covered by mining rights.
As announced on 28 September 2026, the Company's subsidiary, Rare Earths Development Pte Ltd ("Amigo SPV"), has entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the Kamiesberg Project through the acquisition of the equity of Zirco Resources (SA) Holdings (Pty) Ltd and Cyndara 14 (Pty) Ltd (the "Proposed Acquisition").
Highlights

Mining right granted: the DMPR has granted Zirco Roode a mining right over the Sabies and Langkuil properties under section 23(1) of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (the "MPRDA"). |

20-year term: the mining right was granted from 30 September 2026 for a period of twenty (20) years. |

All of Kamiesberg Project now under a mining right: together with the existing mining right over the Roode Heuvel and Leeuvlei properties, all four properties comprising the Kamiesberg Project, totalling approximately 26,709 hectares, are now covered by mining rights. |
Mining Right Approval
The mining right was granted in respect of application NC 10249 MR, lodged by Zirco Roode under section 22 of the MPRDA, and covers the Sabies and Langkuil properties, situated within the Administrative District of Namaqualand.
Prior to the mining right being granted, the Sabies and Langkuil properties, totalling approximately 14,390 hectares, were held under prospecting rights and/or mining right applications.
The mining right includes monazite and rare earth elements together with the broader heavy mineral sands assemblage present at the Kamiesberg Project.
Zirco Roode will now work with the South African Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources (the "DMPR") to, amongst other things, execute the mining right before a public notary and lodge it for registration at the Mineral and Petroleum Titles Registration Office.
The grant of the mining right results in all properties comprising the Kamiesberg Project being held under mining rights.
Proposed Acquisition Update
Completion of the Proposed Acquisition remains subject to the Completion Conditions set out in the Company's announcement of 28 September 2026, including Shareholder approval, publication of the Prospectus, Re-admission and the consent of the Minister under section 11 of the MPRDA to the change of control of Zirco Roode.
The grant of the mining right removes a key permitting risk associated with the Kamiesberg Project ahead of Completion of the Proposed Acquisition.
The Company continues to target Completion of the Proposed Acquisition on or before 31 January 2027.
