Marula appoints logistics, procurement manager for its East Africa operations
Africa-focused battery metals investment and exploration company Marula Mining has appointed mining professional Fred Butia as the company's logistics and procurement manager for East Africa.
Butia has over 13 years’ experience in logistics, exports, imports, customs documentation, warehousing and community relations in East Africa’s mining industry.
He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Makerere University Business School, in Uganda, and brings a broad and extensive blend of expertise to the company at a time when exports sales and significant growth are underway and planned in East Africa.
The appointment of Butia follows the company's progress with its investment at the Larisoro manganese mine in Samburu County, in Northern Kenya, where manganese ore is being transported to Nairobi under a recently signed export logistics agreement with Scan Global Logistics Kenya and to be sold under two sales and offtake agreements already in place, including one with UK-based global metals, minerals and energy commodities trading group Fujax UK.
He will work closely with Larisoro mine manager Ben Kiprotich and Marula East Africa GM Edward Ruheni to ensure smooth and timely deliveries of mineral ores from the company’s current and upcoming mining operations in East Africa.
Butia will start work with the company later this month and will visit the company’s Larisoro mine, as well as its Kinusi copper mine and the Nyorinyori and NyoriGreen graphite projects, in Tanzania.
