"Their expertise in commodities and in the Zambian legal and regulatory systems respectively are

About Shuka Minerals:
Shuka Minerals plc is a dynamic and innovative mining and development company, committed
to exploring and harnessing Africa's mineral resources. Shuka's focus lies in the acquisition and
development of valuable minerals, aiming to contribute to the sustainable growth and
development of local communities.
Shuka has an operating coal mine in Tanzania, which capacity is under consideration for
upgrading by management depending on funding and strategic direction.
The Company has completed the purchase of 100% of Leopard Exploration and Mining Limited's
("LEM") share capital. LEM is the registered holder of a 33.3 sq km large-scale mining license 12848-
HQ-LML issued in December 2014 for a period of 25 years, and which includes the historical Kabwe
Mine located in central Zambia, approx. 110km north of the capital city of Lusaka.
The Kabwe Mine was previously operated Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Limited along with
Anglo American Technical Services and was mined continuously for 88 years until its closure in
1994, due to the commodity prices at the time. It was ranked as one of the world's highest-grade
zinc and lead mining operations and is considered one of the most famous mines in Africa, holding
a position of national economic importance in Zambia.
With sufficient funding, the Company is commencing a 3-phase exploration and development
programme at the Kabwe Mine as part of its plans to re-commence both open-pit and
underground mining and processing operations.
Shuka is also considering projects in Zambia, South Africa, and other African countries that are rich
in copper, lead, and zinc.
The Directors of Shuka are responsible for the contents of this announcement.
