London/Vancouver: September 30 2025 – Mkango Resources Ltd (AIM / TSX-V:MKA) (the “Company” or

“Mkango”) is pleased to announce thatHyProMag USA, LLC (“HyProMag USA”) has purchased three skid-

mountedInsermaAnoiaS.L(“Inserma”)magnetandPrintedCircuitBoard(“PCB”)separationunits. TheInserma

and PCB units can be co-located at hyperscale data centers, shredding, recycling or HyProMag facilities. These

Insermaunitsrapidlyremove(at<2secondsperharddiskdrive(“HDD”))thevoicecoilmotor(“VCM”)containing

the rare earth magnet, providing a highly concentrated feed for subsequent Hydrogen Processing of Magnet

Scrap (“HPMS”) by HyProMag USA at the Texas facility. The technology package will further complete the

separation and removal of the PCBs, which contains precious metals, for recycling and sale. The three units will

be located and operated by Intelligent Lifecycle Solutions, LLC (“ILS”) as it continues stockpiling of feedstock for

theFortWorthfacility.

Julian Treger, Chief Executive of CoTec commented:“Weareveryexcitedtoseetherapiddevelopmentofthe

HyProMagUSAFeasibilityStudy

The Feasibility Study includes the Texas Hub, and two pre-processing facilities located in South Carolina and

Nevadarespectively.InMarch2025,HyProMagUSAannouncedtheexpansionofthedetailedengineeringphase

to include three HPMS vessels i and that it was initiating concept studies for further expansion and

2

complementary “Long Loop” recyclingii. The Texas Hub’s annual production is expected to be 750 metric tons

perannumofrecycledsinteredNdFeBmagnetsand807metrictonsperannumofassociatedNdFeBco-products

(total payable capacity – 1,557 metric tons NdFeB within five years of commissioning) over a 40-year operating

life. It is expected the production facility will provide significant optionality to supply the U.S. market with

additional NdFeB alloy powder while assisting in revitalising the U.S. magnet sector with the creation of 90-100

skilledmagnetmanufacturingjobs.

InMarch2025,HyProMagUSAannouncedtheresultsofanindependentISO-Compliantproductcarbonfootprint

study which confirmed an exceptionally low CO2footprint of 2.35 kg CO2eq. per kg of NdFeB cut sintered block

In August 2025, HyProMag USA announced ILS had formally commenced its stockpiling of feedstockiv initiative

pursuant to the recently announced feedstock supply and pre-processing site share agreement between

HyProMagUSAandILS. v
