LONDON, UK and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 17, 2024 / Mkango Resources Ltd. (AIM:MKA)(TSX-V:MKA) ("Mkango" or the "Company") announces the appointment, effective 11 October 2024, of MNP LLP ("MNP") as its independent auditor for the financial year ending December 31, 2024. The Company has completed the onboarding process of MNP.
The Company's change in auditor follows a mandatory requirement of the resignation of BDO (UK) LLP on 2 October 2024, due solely to a British Columbia regulatory requirement for the Company to have a British Columbia registered auditor. There were no "reportable events" (as such term is defined in National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations ("NI 51-102")) between the Company and BDO (UK) LLP.
Pursuant to NI 51-102, the Notice of Change of Auditor, together with the letter from BDO (UK) LLP and the letter from MNP, have been reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee and the Board of Directors and have been filed on SEDAR+ accordingly.
The appointment of MNP as independent auditor for the following financial year will be subject to approval by the Company's shareholders at the next Annual General and Special Meeting to be held on 26 November 2024.
