Samburu Residents to Benefit After UK Firm Marula Awarded Mining License

The main destinations of Manganese Ore exports from Kenya are China ($15.6M), India ($2.19M), Singapore ($112k), Sudan ($60.5k), and Rwanda ($9.85k)

Marula Mining has been awarded a mining license for its mining operation in Samburu, Kenya.

The UK-based firm has been awarded a Mineral Dealer’s Trading License under Kenya’s Mining Act No. 12 of 201.

This means that the company will have the rights to buy, sell and export manganese ores.

Marula Mining looks to complete its investment in the Larisoro Manganese Mine in Samburu County.

It will increase production of high-grade manganese ores and make sales into the export markets.

What the License Dictates

  • The license allows Marula Mining to buy, sell and export manganese ores in and from Kenya in accordance with the conditions set out in the Mining Act No. 12 of 2016 and the Mining Regulations 2017
  • License is valid until December 31, 2024 and annually renewable.
  • Manganese ores to be purchased by Marula under the License will initially include the planned increased volumes of manganese ore mined and processed from the Larisoro Manganese Mine
  • These purchased manganese ores are then proposed to be sold into the export markets by Marula under new offtake agreements
  • In addition, the License also permits Marula Mining to purchase manganese ores from other Kenyan-based mining companies, which will be undertaken as part of the Company’s broader strategy to position itself as one of the major companies in Kenya in the manganese sector

It also allows us to further cultivate and strengthen additional partnerships with the local mining sector and local communities,” said Jason Brewer, CEO of Marula Mining.
