CLOSING OF FUNDRAISE OF £12.5 million

Mkango Resources Ltd (AIM/TSX-V: MKA) (the "Company" or "Mkango") is pleased to announce that, further to its announcements on 31 March and 1 April 2026, it has successfully closed its Fundraise. £12.5 million (approximately C$23.0 million) was raised before expenses consisting of:

The Company intends to utilise the net proceeds of the Fundraise to support its growth opportunities (a potential acquisition in Germany); for capital expenditure requirements at its UK and German operations (including the required feasibility studies on the expansion of both of those plants); and working capital.

Under the Fundraise, the Company issued an aggregate of 37,878,788 new Common Shares at a price per share of £0.33 (C$0.606375). Admission of the new Common Shares issued pursuant to the Fundraise has become effective on AIM and such shares have been conditionally accepted for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange, subject to fulfilment of customary closing conditions.

In consideration for their services, the Joint Bookrunners will receive aggregate fees and commissions of £435,583 (C$800,384), comprising (i) a base commission of 5.0% of the gross proceeds of the Placing, (ii) a discretionary commission of up to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Placing. In addition, ARC will receive a corporate finance fee of £5,000 (C$9,188).

Red Cloud Securities Inc. ("Red Cloud") acted as Canadian Adviser for the Placing and the LIFE Offering. In consideration for their services, Red Cloud will receive a cash commission of £10,499 (C$19,292) representing a 5.0% commission of the gross proceeds received from investors introduced by Red Cloud.

JUB Capital Management LLP ("JUB") acted as Corporate Finance Adviser in respect of the Placing and the Subscription. In consideration for its services, JUB will receive a cash commission of £241,818 (C$444,341), representing a commission of 6% of the gross proceeds received from investors introduced by JUB, as well as a corporate finance fee of £10,000 (C$18,375).

SP Angel Corporate Finance LLP ("SP Angel") acted as Nominated Adviser and, for their services, will receive a corporate finance fee of £10,000.

RetailBook Limited ("RetailBook") provided the platform for the Retail Offer. RetailBook will receive a fee of £32,500 (C$59,719), representing a commission of 3.25% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Common Shares to investors subscribing through RetailBook.

The new Common Shares issued pursuant to the Placing, the Retail Offer and the Subscription are subject to resale (hold) restrictions in Canada for a period of four months and one day from the date of issuance of such shares. Any resale of the Placing Shares, the Subscription Shares and the RetailBook Offer Shares in Canada or to a Canadian must be made in accordance with such resale restrictions or in reliance on an available exemption therefrom. The new Common Shares issued pursuant to the LIFE Offering were offered by way of the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 - Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "Order"), in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario. Pursuant to NI 45-106 and the Order, the Common Shares issued to Canadian residents under the LIFE Offering are not subject to resale restrictions. The Company relied on the exemptions in Part 5A and the Order, and was qualified to distribute shares in reliance on the exemptions included therein.

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts in this Announcement are based on an exchange rate of £1:C$1.8375, being the closing exchange rate on the Bank of Canada website on 31 March 2026.

TSX-V Related Party Transaction

The Company's interim CFO, Tim Slater, has participated in the Retail Offer for £150,000 (equivalent to C$275,625). As such, the participation of such officer in the Retail Offer constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and within the meaning of Policy 5.9 of the TSX-V rules.

Related party transactions require the Company to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval unless exemptions from these requirements are available under applicable Canadian securities laws. With respect to the Retail Offer, the Company relied on the exemption from the formal valuation requirements in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, as the Company is listed on TSXV, and minority approval requirements in section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the securities distributed to, and the consideration received from, interested parties did not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalisation. The Company did not file a material change report at least 21 days prior to the expected closing of the Retail Offer as participation of the insiders had not been confirmed at that time and the Company wishes to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.
