The Songwe Hill Rare Earth Project 

The Songwe Hill rare earth project is located within a 100% owned exclusive
prospecting licence covering an area of 1,283 km2 in southeast Malawi (the
"Phalombe Licence"). Songwe is accessible by road from Zomba, the former
capital, and Blantyre, the principal commercial town of Malawi. Total travel
time from Zomba is approximately 2 hours, which will reduce as infrastructure
continues to be upgraded in the area. 


Mkango Resources Ltd.

Mkango's primary business is the exploration for rare earth elements and
associated minerals in the Republic of Malawi. It holds, through its wholly
owned subsidiary Lancaster, a 100% interest in two exclusive prospecting
licenses covering a combined area of 1,751 km2 in southern Malawi. The main
exploration target is the Songwe Hill rare earth deposit, which features
carbonatite hosted rare earth mineralisation and was subject to previous
exploration in the late 1980s. 


The Corporation recently filed a 43-101 compliant resource on Sedar and its
corporate strategy is to further delineate and develop the rare earth
mineralisation at Songwe Hill and secure additional rare earth element and other
mineral opportunities in Malawi and elsewhere in Africa.
