Mkango Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MKA) is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company focused on rare earth elements and associated minerals in the Republic of Malawi. It holds a 100% interest in two exclusive prospecting licenses covering a combined area of 1,751 km² in southern Malawi. The Company's primary focus is the Songwe Hill Project, a near surface carbonatite hosted deposit. In November 2012, Mkango Resources successfully filed its maiden NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate; this represented a major milestone in development of the project.
Mkango is currently working towards completing their pre-feasibility study and in July 2013, the Company achieved another major milestone with the announcement of a base case metallurgical flow sheet for the Songwe Hill Project. Proof of concept test work on a bench scale has demonstrated that the flow sheet has potential to produce two high grade products: a high grade mixed rare earth carbonate product and a cerium depleted, heavy rare earth enriched mixed rare earth hydroxide product.
