Under the agreement, Marula will initially deliver 2,000t of manganese ore, followed by a minimum of 5,000t and up to 20,000t per month over a one-year period.

This arrangement includes the option for extension by mutual consent.

Deliveries to Fujax will begin immediately, utilising both stockpiled material in Nairobi and processed ore from the Larisoro mine.

Marula CEO Jason Brewer said: “Entering into this initial sales and offtake agreement with Fujax so soon after getting involved with our investment in the Larisoro manganese mine supports our belief in the potential of this manganese mining operation.
