Rare-Earth Recycling & Secondary Recovery

The world is afraid China will shut off the rare-earth tap — but there's a huge supply of rare earths that needs nothing from China at all. It's buried in the small magnets inside EV motors, wind turbines, and the millions of tons of hard drives about to reach end of life. Today the world recycles less than 1% of its rare earths — almost all of it gets thrown away — even though the "shortcut" way of recycling magnets uses about 88% less energy than mining and reducing new metal. This is the story of a business trying to turn magnet waste back into new magnets — and becoming the non-China solution that many countries are pouring money into building.

Mkango Files Amended Form F-4 for Crown PropTech SPAC Merger

Mkango Magnetic Materials Limited announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mkango Rare Earths Limited, filed an amendment to its registration statement on Form F-4 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on September 29, 2026, in connection with its proposed business combination with Crown PropTech Acquisitions, first announced on July 3, 2025. The Amended Form F-4 comprises a preliminary proxy statement of CPTK and a preliminary prospectus of MKAR covering the common shares and warrants to be issued in the deal. The filing has not yet been declared effective by the SEC and remains subject to completion or amendment. Subject to the SEC review process and customary closing conditions, including approval by CPTK shareholders, MKAR's common shares and warrants are expected to list on Nasdaq under the symbols MKAR and MKARW on closing. Mkango, which is listed on AIM and the TSX-V, is pursuing a strategy to become a market leader in recycled rare earth magnets, alloys and oxides, and its Songwe Hill and Pulawy rare earths projects have both been selected as Strategic Projects under the European Union Critical Raw Materials Act.
