Update on Kinusi Copper Mine

Marula Mining (AQSE: MARU A2X: MARU), an African-focused mining and development company, is pleased to provide an update on activities at the Kinusi Copper Mine ("Kinusi") located in the Mpwapwa District of Tanzania's Dodoma Region and operated by local Tanzanian mining company Takela Mining Tanzania Limited ("Takela").

The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Mr Jason Brewer, will be on site next week and will be accompanied by representatives of both a European-based global commodity trading group, Tanzanian logistics consultants and representatives from independent and internationally accredited laboratories in Tanzania.

During the site visit, further check samples of the 'ready-for-sale' high-grade copper concentrates will be taken as part of the ongoing grade verification process by representatives from these laboratories. Also as part of the Company's quality assurance and quality control procedures, all components of the mining, processing and ongoing sampling process will be inspected and checked to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results that are to be used as part of the copper concentrate sales process and to provide a high level of confidence in the results to the purchasers of the copper concentrate sales.

Representatives of one of the European-based global commodity trading groups that are proposing to purchase the copper concentrates will also be in attendance as part of the ongoing processes related to the additional copper concentrate purchases, as well as representatives of a major regional logistics and haulage group who will inspect the current facilities and finalise arrangements for the proposed transportation of the product from the mine through to a bonded warehouse in Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.

Further updates on the sale of the copper concentrates from Takela's Kinusi Copper Mine will be provided in due course.

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