MKANGO RAISES £3.0M (C$5.6M) TO ADVANCE RARE EARTH MAGNET RECYCLING AND MANUFACTURING IN UK AND GERMANY

London / Vancouver: September 18, 2025 - Mkango Resources Ltd. (AIM/TSX-V: MKA) is pleased to announce that it has conditionally raised gross proceeds of £3.0 million (approximately C$5.6 million) through the issuance, on a private placement basis, of 10,000,000 Units of the Company at a price per Unit of 30 pence ("p") (approximately C$0.56) (the "Issue Price") (the "Subscription"). A Unit comprises one common share of the Company (the "Subscription Share") and half of one warrant (the "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share at a price of 45p per common share ("Warrant Share") for a period of 2 years following the closing of the Subscription.

William Dawes, Chief Executive of Mkango stated: "We are delighted by the continued support and confidence from our existing shareholders reflected in this £3 million investment. This funding enables continued momentum on the development and scale-up of the rare earth magnet recycling and manufacturing projects in the UK and Germany, and strengthens the balance sheet in a crucial period as we continue to evaluate opportunities for rolling out HyProMag operations in additional jurisdictions and other new growth opportunities. The Company continues to engage with government and grant funding bodies in the USA, Europe and Asia to advance its projects across the rare earth supply chain."

In parallel with development of its recycling and magnet manufacturing businesses, and following the definitive business combination agreement between wholly owned subsidiary, Lancaster Exploration and Crown PropTech Acquisitions announced in July 2025, Mkango is progressing towards the Nasdaq listing of its advanced stage Songwe Hill rare earths project in Malawi and Pulawy separation project in Poland. This will create a publicly traded, vertically integrated, global pureplay rare earths platform, against the backdrop of strong market sentiment in the rare earths sector and focus on development of more robust rare earth supply chains."

The net proceeds of the Subscription after fees are expected to be approximately £2.8 million (approximately C$5.3 million). The issue price equates to a discount of 9.32% and 13.49% to the trailing five-day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of Mkango's shares on AIM and TSX-V, respectively. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Subscription to fund ongoing recycling development costs in Germany and the UK, and to fund ongoing corporate costs.

The Subscription is expected to close on or around 1st October, 2025 and is subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX-V, and admission of the Subscription Shares to trading on AIM.

The Subscription Shares and Warrant Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing shares and an application will be made for the Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective, and dealings in the Subscription Shares will commence, at 8:00am on or around 1st October 2025. The Subscription Shares and Warrant Shares will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada expiring on the date that is four months and one day from issuance of the Units and will also be listed for trading on the TSX-V, provided that approval of such listing from the TSX-V is obtained.

In accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR 5.6.1R) the Company hereby notifies the market that immediately following Admission, its issued and outstanding share capital will consist of 345,992,907 common shares. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. Shareholders may use this figure as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

In connection with the Subscription, Mkango has agreed to pay, at completion of the Subscription, commissions of 5% in cash and 5% in non-transferable broker warrants with reference to cash raised by Jub Capital Management LLP ("JUB Capital"). In addition, JUB Capital will be entitled to a corporate finance fee of £5,000 (approximately C$9,400). A fee of 1% in cash will payable to SP Angel on any proceeds raised in the transaction that are settled via SP Angel and not a direct subscription with the Company, payable on completion of the Subscription. The broker warrants will have a term of 3 years from issue and an exercise price of 30 p (approximately C$0.56). The total number of broker warrants to be issued on completion of the Placing is 500,000. Payment of the commissions to the brokers (and issuance of the broker warrants and the common shares issuable pursuant to exercise of the broker warrants) is subject to acceptance of the TSX-V. The common shares issuable pursuant to exercise of the broker warrants will be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada expiring on the date that is four months and one day from issuance of the broker warrants.
