Europa Metals Ltd (AIM:EUZ, JSE:EUZ) executive chairman and acting CEO Myles Campion talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s planned reverse takeover (RTO) deal with Marula Africa. The transaction is set to give Europa access to a portfolio of producing and near-producing critical minerals projects across Africa, including copper, lithium, tantalum and manganese assets.
Campion described the deal as “transformative” and noted that the company had been actively seeking near-term cashflow opportunities. He highlighted the Kinusi copper mine in Tanzania, which is already in production and yielding high-grade direct shipping ore (DSO), with grades of 20-30% copper.
He also pointed to the Blesberg lithium-tantalum mine in South Africa, which holds a 250,000-tonne surface stockpile grading up to 6% lithium. A processing plant is already in place. Additionally, the Kilifi manganese asset in Kenya is expected to operate as both a processing hub and a producing asset.
Europa intends to return capital to shareholders following the recent $3.2 million sale of its Spanish asset. The AGM, scheduled before year-end, will define the initial capital distribution. Campion said: “So it is pretty transformative… We’ll come out the other side as a completely different company, with some very good cash flows coming through.”
Looking ahead, the company is preparing for due diligence, technical reports and regulatory steps to progress the RTO. It is also exploring a rare earths opportunity as part of the agreement with Marula.
