COMMERCIALISE AUTOMATED PRE-PROCESSING OF HARD DISC DRIVES, LOUDSPEAKERS AND ELECTRIC MOTORS FOR HYPROMAG

MAGINITO SECURES EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT WITH INSERMA TO COMMERCIALISE AUTOMATED PRE-PROCESSING OF HARD DISC DRIVES, LOUDSPEAKERS AND ELECTRIC MOTORS FOR HYPROMAG

· Maginito Ltd ("Maginito") (Mkango 79.4%, CoTec 20.6%) and Inserma Anoia S.L ("Inserma") have entered into a binding and exclusive agreement (the "Agreement") to collaborate on the optimisation, commercialisation and roll-out of pre-processing technologies for HyProMag in the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States and other regions.

· The latest mobile Inserma unit for hard disc drives ("HDD") can be co-located at hyperscale data centres, shredding, recycling or HyProMag facilities. These Inserma units rapidly remove (at <3 seconds per HDD) the Voice call Motor ("VCM") containing the rare earth magnet, providing a highly concentrated feed for subsequent Hydrogen Processing of Magnet Scrap ("HPMS") by HyProMag - the simultaneous removal of the centre spindle also facilitates downstream shredding of the rest of the HDD

· The technology not only provides a steady neodymium ("NdFeB") magnet scrap feed to HyProMag, but also has major benefits for sustainable, secure and low cost recycling of HDDs

· The ultimate goal of the collaboration is to enable deployment of hundreds of pre-processing units, across multiple jurisdictions, providing pre-processing solutions for a range of end-of-life applications, including HDDs, loudspeakers and electric motors, and generating feed for HyProMag Limited's ("HyProMag") short loop rare earth magnet recycling process

· The Agreement includes the purchase of an initial three units for pre-processing HDDs by HyProMag and related institutions for the UK, Germany and the United States to catalyse the roll-out of the technology

· Mkango, CoTec and HyProMag are engaging with major hyperscale data centre providers, shredders, recycling companies and other groups which are showing strong interest in deploying the technology in parallel with HPMS
