Marula Mining (AQSE: MARU A2X: MARU), an African-focused mining and development company, announces that it has utilised its existing approved facilities with AUO Commercial Brokerage LLC ("AUO"), as announced on 31 January 2023, to drawdown £250,000 (the "Drawdown"). It is anticipated that the funds, advanced through CMC Markets UK Plc, trading as CMC CapX, will be received in the Company's bank account in the United Kingdom on 5 February 2025 and 6,666,667 new ordinary shares will be issued at a price of 3.75 pence per share ("New Shares") in consideration of the Drawdown.

The funds will be used to complete the minor modifications to the Kilifi Manganese Processing Plant, transportation and logistics costs associated with the initial high-grade copper concentrate sales from the Kinusi Copper Mine and the transportation to the Larisoro Manganese Mine of new mobile mining equipment and a magnetic separator to be used to process stockpiled manganese fines material on site.

Following the Drawdown, approximately £2.25 million of the £8.53 million has been advanced to the Company under the approved facilities with AUO and approximately £4.25 million remains available for the Company to utilise at its discretion across its battery metals projects in South Africa and East Africa.

Admission

Application has been made for the New Shares to be admitted to trading on the Aquis Stock Exchange AQSE Growth Market and A2X Markets on or around 6 February 2025 ("Admission") and will rank pari passu with the ordinary shares of the Company in issue.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 224,302,900 ordinary shares of 0.01 pence each, with each share carrying the right to one vote, therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 224,302,900.
