Marula Mining has entered a transformative partnership with the Mining Engineers Society of Kenya (MESK) to advance Kenya’s mining industry. The two organizations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines a joint commitment to fostering professional growth, community engagement, and sustainable mining practices.
The collaboration will focus on technical evaluations, critical metals projects, and the adoption of global standards to enhance efficiency. MESK will provide specialized expertise in resource estimation, environmental management, and sustainable project execution to support Marula Mining’s operations. As part of the agreement, Marula Mining will promote youth employment by offering annual internships and attachment programs for MESK members. Together, they will host workshops on topics such as sustainable mining, technological innovation, and health and safety practices.
The partnership also aims to enhance Marula’s corporate social responsibility initiatives by driving impactful community programs. Furthermore, Marula will provide financial backing for a mineral processing research laboratory at a leading Kenyan university. Joseph Njuguna Komu, Chairman of MESK, highlighted the alignment of the two parties’ values and their shared vision for advancing Kenya’s mining industry. Jason Brewer, CEO of Marula Mining, expressed optimism about the partnership’s potential to foster innovation, build technical expertise, and support local communities.
Marula Mining, an investor in battery metals, has diverse interests in lithium, manganese, cobalt, graphite, and copper projects across Africa. The company aims to establish itself as a socially and environmentally responsible producer of critical metals. Already listed on the AQUIS Stock Exchange (London) and A2X Markets (South Africa), Marula plans to expand its listings to the Nairobi Securities Exchange and Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
