Jason Brewer, Marula Mining PLC CEO said:

"I am delighted that the Company is eligible to join the Apex segment of the AQSE Growth Market. This achievement is down to the hard work of all involved with Marula over the past 12 months and the upgraded listing reflects the success we have achieved in steadily growing this mining company over that time.

"I believe that this move to the Apex segment will further enhance our visibility and attract greater interest from investors, given the stricter requirements for companies listed on the Apex segment, and importantly the emphasis it places on transparency, liquidity and corporate governance.

"I look forward to the opportunities and increased market exposure that this will likely bring for the Company as we continue to grow and accelerate our mining and new mine development activities here in Africa."

The Directors of Marula are responsible for the contents of this announcement.
