Update on AIM Listing

Marula Mining (AQSE: MARU) ("Marula" or the "Company') an African focused mining and development company, is pleased to update the market and shareholders on its intention to seek a listing of Marula's ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market ("AIM") ("Listing") and proposed dual listings on Kenya's Nairobi Securities Exchange and South Africa's Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

Highlights:

• Work continues by the Company's independent legal and technical consultants, ENS Africa and MSA Group in finalising the Legal Due Diligence and Competent Person Report on the Company's projects required as part of the Listing process
• The Reporting Accountants' workstream is also being progressed
• Despite delays in the proposed Listing, the Company is committed to obtaining a primary listing of its securities on a market that provides its shareholders and potential new investors with heightened visibility, increased liquidity and enhanced access to capital to support its growth strategy
• As a result of the increased market capitalisation of the Company over 2023 and the investment and co-development partnership and conditional Subscription Agreement with Q Global Commodities, the Company is also now considering a listing of its securities on the Standard List of the London Stock Exchange ("Standard Listing")
• After consultation with its legal and financial advisers, the Company is reviewing the merits of the Standard Listing, which is considered to be achievable in the same time frame as the AIM Listing and would not require the Company to incur any material additional costs
• Advisers have already been engaged in South Africa and in Kenya by the Company for these proposed dual listings, which the Board believes will be well supported by investors and key stakeholders in Southern and East Africa

Jason Brewer, Marula Mining PLC CEO said:

"I have a strong conviction that the primary listing of Marula needs to support the direction and growth strategy that the management and Board of the Company are looking to implement in the coming years.

"The primary listing of the Company's securities in London needs to provide us and our shareholders with heightened visibility, increased liquidity and enhanced access to a broader array of potential investors and I look forward to delivering on that and on our proposed dual listings on the Nairobi Securities Exchange and Johannesburg Stock Exchange in due course."

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