Appointment of New Auditor

Marula Mining (AQSE: MARU), an African focused mining and development company, is pleased to announce that it has appointed Moore Kingston Smith LLP ("MKS") as the Company's new independent auditor.

The Company's Audit Committee completed an extensive review and tender process and recommended the selection of MKS, which has now been approved by the Board. MKS has now commenced work and will be responsible for the independent audit for the current financial year.

MKS is a leading global accounting, audit and advisory network with expertise across multiple sectors including substantial expertise in the natural resources sector, possessing deep knowledge in mining and exploration activities. Their proven capability to represent different companies across all levels of the London stock exchanges makes them an ideal partner to support Marula's growth and ambitions.

Additionally, MKS's presence in key regions, including South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, and other East and Southern African countries, aligns well with Marula's operations and growth strategy as the Company seeks to advance its battery metals projects and mining activities in these regions.
