Crispr Therapeutics shares tumble after significant earnings miss
NAIROBI - Marula Mining PLC (AQSE:MARU, A2X: MAR) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Geological Society of Kenya (GSK), according to a press release statement issued Monday.
The one-year agreement aims to promote professional development opportunities and strengthen both organizations’ profiles within Kenya’s mineral sector. Under the terms of the MOU, Marula will become a corporate member of GSK, gaining access to industry networking forums and the society’s network of technical consultants.
The partnership includes provisions for Marula to offer up to ten structured graduate traineeships and ten industrial attachments annually for young geologists and recent graduates. The company will also provide mentorship through its professionals to develop skills aligned with international best practices.
As an early outcome of the collaboration, Marula has hired two GSK-affiliated geological interns, Christine Kiptoo and Kelvin Ronoh, as full-time Graduate Geologists. They will work with the company’s Geology and Exploration team on current and potential projects throughout Kenya.
GSK President Ng’ang’a Kuria stated that the partnership "creates a powerful pool of technical expertise across the full lifecycle of mineral development."
Collins Aseto, Marula’s Head of Exploration East Africa, expressed appreciation for the MOU, highlighting the permanent engagement of the two interns as reflecting "our shared goal of fostering talent in the geology field."
The collaboration also includes joint development of workshops on industry topics such as geological safety and sustainable mining practices. Marula may provide additional funding toward educational and research programs, including the potential establishment of a geological research laboratory at a Kenyan university.
Marula Mining has interests in several mining operations and development projects across Africa, including in South Africa, Botswana, Kenya, and Tanzania.
