Europa Metals Sets Sights on Near-Term Cashflow with Marula Africa RTO

Europa Metals Ltd (AIM:EUZ, JSE:EUZ) chairman and acting CEO Myles Campion has outlined how the company’s planned reverse takeover (RTO) of Marula Africa could reshape the business and deliver near-term revenue.

The transaction would provide Europa with a diversified portfolio of producing and near-producing critical mineral assets across Africa, spanning copper, lithium, tantalum and manganese.

Campion called the deal transformative and aligned with Europa’s strategy to secure cash-generating operations. He highlighted the Kinusi copper mine in Tanzania, already in production and shipping high-grade direct shipping ore (DSO) grading around 20%–30% copper.

He also cited the Blesberg lithium–tantalum operation in South Africa, which has a 250,000-tonne surface stockpile grading up to 6% lithium and an installed processing plant. In Kenya, the Kilifi manganese project is expected to act as both a processing hub and a producing asset.

Following the recent $3.2 million sale of its Spanish asset, Europa intends to return capital to shareholders, with the initial distribution to be set at the AGM expected before year-end.

“This is a step-change for us,” Campion said. “We’ll emerge as a different company with strong cash flows coming through.”

Next steps include due diligence, technical reporting and regulatory workstreams to advance the RTO. The company is also evaluating a rare earths opportunity as part of the agreement with Marula Africa.
