Successful Completion of Due Diligence on Lithium Brine Project Acquisition

Marula Mining PLC (AQSE: MARU A2X: MAR) an African focused mining and development company, is pleased to announce that further to the announcement on 25 April 2025, it has successfully completed due diligence on the Boteti Lithium Brines Project (the "Boteti Project") located in the Makgadikgadi Desert Salt Pan in the Boteti District of the Republic of Botswana.

The Company's Board of Directors were satisfied with the due diligence work that was undertaken and believe that it confirms the strategic importance of the Makgadikgadi Desert Salt Pan as an area of significant critical mineral potential. With the due diligence now completed, the Company and Geowise will finalise the formal acquisition documentation and incorporation of a new special purchase vehicle ("SPV") in Botswana through which the respective interests in the Boteti Project and the three granted prospecting licences will be held.

In accordance with the terms of the binding acquisition terms sheet with Geowise Resources (Pty) Limited ("Geowise"), Marula will issue 250,000 new ordinary shares in the Company at a price of 4.0 pence per ordinary share to Geowise.

The Company anticipates to commence its initial exploration activities on site at the Boteti Project later in Q2 2025.

Application has been made for the 250,000 new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on the Aquis Stock Exchange AQSE Growth Market and A2X Markets on or around 7 May 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 293,905,678 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 293,905,678.
