Well spotted Jimzi, thanks.

A glorious array of tailwinds continues to build for @MkangoResources
#MKA.
The price of neodymium - the key rare earth earth used in NdFeB permanent magnets - continues to surge higher (+5.8% over the past 2 sessions).
China is cracking down on international firms desperately trying to stockpile magnets, whilst they currently flow out of China (see FT article below).
The US Gvt has stated that it's in talks with 4-7 other US-based rare earths companies (besides $MP), with decisions on partnerships / investments due "by 30th August". We know that the Minerals Security Partnership gave a glowing reference on HyProMag USA to the White House. [Therefore I expect material news on the matter in the next 10 trading sessions, including Monday 1st September.]
Valuations for US-based magnet producers are going through the roof. $USAR now sits $1.73 billion.
It has one planned operation, in one country. HyProMag is in the process of, or evaluating, rolling out operations in at least six countries.
Rare earths deposits - even those at relatively early stages in their development - are also getting monster valuations. Greenland-based $CRML now sits at $582m mkt cap; US-based $REEMF's mkt cap is $599m.
This bodes extremely well for the soon-to-be-NASDAQ-listed $MKAR, which will house Mkango's upstream assets, the Songwe Hill rare earths mine and the Pulawy separation plant. These assets are a good several years ahead of both CRML's and REEMF's, in their development timelines.
More cash in Mkango's coffers from warrant exercises today, great to see. Share price again feels primed for the next leg up, with so many possible powerful catalysts ahead.
