Mkango Resources Ltd (AIM: MKA, TSX-V: MKA) has announced a significant milestone in its proposed US market listing plans, with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mkango Rare Earths Limited (MKAR), filing an amended registration statement on Form F-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The filing relates to the previously announced business combination between MKAR and Crown PropTech Acquisitions (OTC: CPTKW), originally unveiled in July 2025. The amended filing includes a preliminary proxy statement for Crown PropTech shareholders and a preliminary prospectus covering MKAR common shares and warrants.
The submission represents an important step towards completing the transaction and progressing MKAR’s planned listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Subject to SEC approval, shareholder approval from Crown PropTech and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, MKAR’s securities are expected to begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “MKAR” and “MKARW”.
A Nasdaq listing would provide Mkango’s rare earths business with access to a broader North American investor base and could significantly increase the company’s visibility within the rapidly growing critical minerals sector.
Mkango’s portfolio includes the Songwe Hill Rare Earth Project in Malawi, one of the most advanced rare earth development projects in Africa, alongside its growing rare earth magnet recycling and manufacturing operations through HyProMag in the UK, Germany and the United States.
The company noted that the amended registration statement remains subject to review by the SEC and has not yet been declared effective. Investors should also note that the filing has not been reviewed or approved by regulatory authorities in Canada or the United Kingdom.
The proposed transaction forms part of Mkango’s strategy to create a dedicated rare earths platform focused on supplying critical materials required for electric vehicles, renewable energy technologies and advanced manufacturing, while expanding its profile in the US capital markets.
