CoTec Investment Mkango and Hypromag Announces First Production from Commercial-Scale Recycled Rare Earth Alloy Production in the UK
This marks the first commercial-scale production of recycled neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) alloy using HPMS technology and represents a significant milestone for all stakeholders involved. The TEP plant is the UK's only sintered rare earth magnet manufacturing facility and is a major step forward for both domestic and global rare earth supply chains.
Julian Treger, Chief Executive Officer of CoTec, commented: "We are delighted to see Mkango and HyProMag achieving this significant milestone, and we extend our congratulations to all involved, including the teams at the University of Birmingham and Tyseley Energy Park. This first production of recycled rare earth alloy is a critical step in validating HPMS technology at scale and sends a powerful signal for what is to come in the United States. The successful start-up at Tyseley bodes very well for our HyProMag USA joint venture, as we continue advancing detailed engineering and move toward building a secure, domestic rare earth magnet supply chain in North America."
HyProMag USA is a 50:50 joint venture between CoTec and HyProMag (a 100% subsidiary of Maginito Limited, which is 79.4% owned by Mkango and 20.6% by CoTec). The joint venture is currently developing its first integrated rare earth magnet recycling and manufacturing facility in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, targeting commissioning in 2027.

32.5 Million Engines Later, Honda's Ohio Plant Turns 40
Honda is celebrating 40 years of engine production at its Anna Engine Plant in Ohio. What started as a modest motorcycle engine facility in the mid-80s has grown into the company's largest engine plant in the world. As Honda shifts toward hybrid and electric power, shown by models like the new hybrid Prelude, the Anna plant is evolving to keep pace with the future of mobility. Since opening its doors in 1985, the Anna Engine Plant has built over 32.5 million engines. That includes everything from basic four-cylinders for the Civic to high-output V6s found in Acura performance cars and SUVs. Back then, it was a 200,000 square-foot facility with fewer than 100 workers. Today, it covers 2.8 million square feet and supports nearly 3,000 employees. The plant currently produces a wide range of four-cylinder and V6 engines, including turbocharged and hybrid variants. It also makes essential components like cylinder heads, camshafts, crankshafts, and the precision pulleys used in Honda's CVTs. Engines from Anna have powered some of Honda's most iconic vehicles. The plant builds the 190-hp 1.5-liter turbo used in the Civic, Accord, CR-V, and Acura Integra, as well as the 315-hp 2.0-liter turbo found in the Civic Type R and Integra Type S. It even produced the 500-hp 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that lived in the second-generation Acura NSX supercar. But Anna's output isn't all about performance. It's also behind the hybrid engines that help fuel-efficient models like the Accord and CR-V deliver impressive fuel economy. It's clear as day that the Anna Engine Plant has played a huge role in shaping Honda and Acura's lineup across North America. While gas and hybrid engines are still a major focus, Anna is already preparing for Honda's next chapter. The plant has started producing aluminum battery cases for upcoming EVs, using cutting-edge processes like megacasting, Minimum Quantity Lubrication machining, and friction stir welding. These battery cases will be shipped to the Marysville Auto Plant, where they'll be paired with battery modules to power the next generation of Honda and Acura electric vehicles, including the Honda Prologue. Full EV production is set to begin in Ohio in 2026. With four decades of experience and a clear role in Honda's future, the Anna Engine Plant continues to be a key part of the company's evolution.

1 Magnificent Canadian Energy Stock Down 22% to Buy and Hold for Decades
Written by Andrew Walker at The Motley Fool Canada Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) saw its share price take a hit over the past year as oil prices fell from their 2024 highs. Investors who missed the bounce off the April low are wondering if CNQ stock is still undervalued and good to buy for a self-directed Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) or Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) focused on dividends and total returns. Canadian Natural Resources stock price CNRL trades near $43 per share at the time of writing. The stock is down from a high around $55 last year. It slipped as low as $35 during the market rout a few months ago. CNRL is a giant in the Canadian energy patch. The company owns a diversified portfolio of assets, including oil sands, conventional heavy oil, conventional light oil, offshore oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas production and reserves. CNRL is typically the sole owner or majority owner of its businesses. This gives management the flexibility to quickly move capital around the portfolio to take advantage of positive shifts in commodity prices. In addition, CNRL's size and strong balance sheet enable the company to make large strategic acquisitions at opportune times to boost earnings and reserves. For example, the company spent US$6.5 billion in 2024 to buy the Canadian assets owned by Chevron. CNRL says its breakeven West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price is around US$40 to US$45 per barrel. At the time of writing, WTI trades near US$66 per barrel. That's down from more than US$80 last year, but still at a level where CNRL can generate decent margins. The large natural gas division provides a good hedge against lower oil prices. Natural gas prices are higher in 2025 than they were through most of the past two years. Oil market outlook Aside from brief spikes due to geopolitical events, the price of oil has trended lower over the past year. This is due to weak demand from China and concerns that tariffs imposed by the United States will lead to a recession in the American and global economies. At the same time, OPEC intends to increase supply to regain lost market share. Non-OPEC producers, including Canada and the United States, are also increasing production. As such, analysts widely expect oil prices to remain under pressure through the rest of 2025 and into 2026. That being said, a major geopolitical disruption in the Middle East or an announcement of a concrete trade deal between the U.S. and China could push oil prices higher as traders adjust demand and supply expectations. Dividends CNRL raised its dividend in each of the past 25 years. This is a great track record for a business that relies on commodity prices to determine its margins. Investors who buy CNQ stock at the current level can get a dividend yield of 5.5%. The company continues to generate solid earnings through increased production from acquisitions and the drilling program. This should support ongoing dividend growth. Time to buy? Near-term volatility is expected and the stock could easily retest the 2025 low if trade negotiations between the U.S. and its largest trading partners go off the rails. That being said, dividend investors might want to start nibbling on the stock at this price point and look to add to the position on further weakness. At the current yield, you get paid well to ride out some turbulence. The post 1 Magnificent Canadian Energy Stock Down 22% to Buy and Hold for Decades appeared first on The Motley Fool Canada.
