About Mkango Resources Limited
Mkango's primary business is the exploration for rare earth
elements and associated minerals in the Republic of Malawi, a
country whose hospitable people have earned it a reputation as "the
warm heart of Africa." Mkango holds, through its wholly owned
subsidiary Lancaster Exploration Limited, a 100% interest in two
exclusive prospecting licenses in southern Malawi, the Phalombe
licence and the Thambani licence.
The main exploration target in the Phalombe licence is the
Songwe Hill rare earths' deposit, which features carbonatite hosted
rare earth mineralisation and was subject to previous exploration
in the late 1980s. Mkango completed an updated Pre-feasibility
Study for the project in November 2015. Mkango's strategy for
Songwe is to further optimise the project with a view to maximising
efficiency and reducing costs, thereby providing a strong platform
for entering into partnerships, marketing and offtake arrangements.
In December 2016, Mkango entered into an agreement with Noble
Resources to collaborate in the rare earths sector.
In September 2017, Mkango signed a binding joint venture
principles and exclusivity agreement with Metalysis for advanced
alloys using neodymium or praseodymium with other elements for
magnet manufacturing. Following successful Phase I production of a
neodymium-iron-boron ("NdFeB") alloy powder using Metalysis'
solid-state technology, the Phase II R&D programme has
commenced. NdFeB alloys are used to make permanent magnets,
critical components of most electric vehicles, direct drive wind
turbines and many other high growth applications. Neodymium is also
a key component of the Company's Songwe Hill rare earths
project.
The main exploration targets in the Thambani licence are
uranium, niobium, tantalum and zircon.
