$NBIS R2G lol

#MKA on the LSE is listing a stock in a couple of months called $MKAR at a valuation of around $600m ($400m net to #MKA) which is around a 92p equivalent share price and the stock is trading at 42p in anticipation… Just saying Oh and they have a recycling technology approved by Siemens, making recycled magnets that is worth more than the listing Soon as this lists everyone will regret not buying down here.


$USAR $MP If it’s rare earths you want; then there’s no better investment than HyProMag 🧲 Invest via #MKA @MkangoResources and $CTH @CoTecCorp $CTH.NE $MKA.NE #MKA.LSE The worlds lowest cost rare earth magnet manufacturing plants ♻️ Proven and producing in 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇺🇸 (US 2027) $92m EXIM Bank Offer 2 major commercial banks interested and conducting due diligence Revolutionary HDD RE extraction for the AI boom 💥 Insane economics with just over 2 year payback periods and costs of production lower than any rival 💰




serving the best slop in town since 2023....

Major milestone for HyProMag Germany! German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy to officially open HyProMag Plant in Pforzheim today - fully permitted site for production of up to 750 tonnes per annum of magnets and alloys #RareEarths #MKA @CMA_Minerals @REIA_global @unibirmingham @EITRawMaterials #CRMA @Share_Talk mkango.ca/site/assets/fi…







From lab to factory. The twenty-year journey to recycle rare earth magnets BBC Midlands Today video report from 3 February 2026, covering the opening of HyProMag's Birmingham commercial plant 🧲 Twenty years. One Birmingham lab. Now the UK's first rare earth magnet factory in 25 years is open — and it runs on hydrogen. The BBC just covered HyProMag's commercial plant opening in Birmingham and it's one of the most important UK manufacturing stories of 2026. Here's why it matters. 🧵 ⚗️ THE SCIENCE — hydrogen does what shredders can't [1/5] Here's the problem with recycling rare earth magnets the old way. You shred the product — the magnets pop out and stick to the shredder. The rare earths are lost forever into iron slag. HyProMag's solution? Expose the magnet to hydrogen gas. The magnet absorbs the hydrogen, the grain boundaries crack, and the whole thing disintegrates into a fine demagnetised powder — still in alloy form, ready to be pressed back into new magnets. No acid. No smelter. No China. That's HPMS — Hydrogen Processing of Magnet Scrap — 20 years in the making at the University of Birmingham. 🎓 🏭 THE MILESTONE — UK's first magnet production in 25 years [2/5] The Birmingham plant is producing: Up to 2 tonnes of recycled NdFeB powder per day at this scale At just 10% of the energy cost of making brand new magnets from virgin rare earths Powder that is pressed, heated and reformed directly into new sintered magnets — no separation required Opened by a UK government minister — reflecting strategic national importance 🇬🇧 Prof. Allan Walton (University of Birmingham, HyProMag co-founder): "We followed this idea for more than 10 years. 40–50 people developed this facility." This isn't a lab. This is a commercial factory. Running. In the Midlands. Today. 🔗 THE CHAIN — HPMS powder flows straight back into magnets [3/5] This is what makes HyProMag's short-loop process so powerful. Most recyclers dissolve everything down to oxides. HyProMag keeps the material as alloy powder throughout — skipping the most expensive and energy-intensive steps entirely: ♻️ Scrap EV motors / HDDs / wind turbines ⬇️ HPMS hydrogen process → demagnetised NdFeB alloy powder ⬇️ Press + sinter → new high-performance magnets No acid leaching. No solvent extraction. No rare earth oxide refining. Result: 25% more output than primary production, 90% energy savings. ⚡ Partners feeding the chain: EMR Group (scrap supply), LCM (melt route alloys), Adey, Jaguar Land Rover, University of Birmingham — and multiple DRIVE35 / Innovate UK funded projects including REACT UK, SCREAM and REEmelt. THE FUNDING & SCALE [4/5] HyProMag isn't early-stage anymore. This is a company with: 🇬🇧 Multiple Innovate UK / APC / DRIVE35 grants 🇺🇸 HyProMag USA — scale-up in South Carolina + Texas via CoTec/Mkango JV 🎯 US target: 10 facilities, 15,000 tpa within a decade 🔬 TRL 8–9 — demonstrated, commissioned, operating commercially 📋 REACT UK — £6.5m DRIVE35 project just announced April 2026 with JLR, EMR, LCM, University of Birmingham 🧲 SCREAM — UK short + medium loop magnet recycling pilot 🌍 Mkango Resources (TSXV/AIM: MKA) — parent company with Malawi rare earth project feeding long-term HREE supply 🌍 THE BIG PICTURE — The West needs this [5/5] The BBC reporter puts it plainly: "Almost all of these magnets come from China. And that dependence makes politicians a bit twitchy." 80–90% of rare earth metals sourced from a single country. China banned export of magnet manufacturing technology in Dec 2023. US 25% tariffs on Chinese magnets hit in 2026. HyProMag's Birmingham plant is the West's answer: ✅ Commercially operating — not a pilot ✅ UK-sovereign, China-free magnet production ✅ Replicable anywhere there is scrap — EVs, HDDs, wind, defence ✅ 20 years of University of Birmingham IP at its core ✅ Government minister opened the doors 🇬🇧 "From an idea in a lab to commercial rare earth magnets made in the Midlands." — BBC Midlands Today, Feb 2026 This is what the energy transition actually looks like. ⚡🧲 #HyProMag #RareEarths #MagnetRecycling @MkangoResources #NdFeB #CircularEconomy #UKManufacturing #Birmingham #HPMS #HydrogenProcessing #EVSupplyChain #WindEnergy #DefenceSupplyChain #ChinaSupplyChain #EnergyTransition #NetZero #InnovateUK #DRIVE35 #UniversityOfBirmingham @roblun1
