Marula Mining (AQSE: MARU) an African focused mining and development company, provides an update on its planned dual listing on the Nairobi Securities Exchange ("NSE") in Kenya.

The Company confirms that further to its announcement of 22 December 2023, it will now be seeking admission of its securities to the Growth Enterprise Market Segment ("GEMS") of the NSE in July 2024 and is working with its Nominated Advisor and Sponsoring Stockbroker, Faida Investment Bank to finalise all outstanding matters.

Highlights:

·    Marula to seek dual listing of its securities on the NSE in July 2024

·    Dual listing follows the Company's recent investment in the Larisoro Manganese Mine located in Samburu County in Kenya with potential future planned investments and acquisitions in Kenyan's copper, graphite and manganese mining sector

·    The revised date allows for the inclusion of a number of material documents and milestones to be included in the Company's NSE listing documentation including details of its investment in the Larisoro Manganese Mine and the sales of manganese ore due to commence under agreed offtake arrangements

·    The NSE listing documentation will also include details of additional upcoming investments in Kenya's copper, graphite and manganese sectors, where the Company has a clear strategy of establishing itself as Kenya's leading mining and mineral investment company

·    The Company's listing document will also include details of its sales of production of other battery metal products including lithium ores in South Africa and planned copper, graphite and rare earths mine production

·    The proposed dual listing on the NSE further underscores the Company's commitment to Kenya and East Africa's mining sector and battery and critical metals mine development as well as to its many stakeholders within the African continent

·    The planned listing will enable Marula to access the wide pool of individual and institutional investors in Kenya, and is considered a key element of the Company's plans to accelerate its growth and new mine development in Kenya and East Africa
