Kenmare Resources plc is quoted on the official lists of the Irish and London Stock Exchanges.
The principal activities of the Group are the exploration for commercial deposits of natural resources and the development and operation of mines.
Kenmare's main asset is the Moma Titanium Minerals Project, located on the coast of Mozambique. The Moma Project will produce titanium minerals, Rutile, Ilmenite and Zircon.
Kenmare's principal asset is the wholly owned Moma Titanium Minerals Project, located on the coast of Mozambique. Moma is a new mine containing considerable reserves of the titanium minerals, ilmenite and rutile. The Moma mine also has large quantities of zircon, a high value co-product of titanium minerals mining.
Construction of the Project is in the final stages of completion. Section one of the project, which includes the mining pond, dredges, Wet Concentrator Plant and related infrastructure, has been taken over by Kenmare, and a taking-over certificate has been issued to the contractor. Mining and Heavy Mineral Concentrate production started at the Moma Mine on 25 April 2007.
Project financing has been based on a 20 year mine plan with reserves of 16.4 million tonnes of ilmenite, 0.5 million tonnes rutile and 1.3 million tonnes zircon. It will have the capacity to produce 800,000 tonnes of ilmenite, 21,000 tonnes of rutile and 56,000 tonnes of zircon per annum for at least 20 years.
Titanium dioxide pigment is used in paints, paper and plastic production. The primary applications for zircon are in the manufacture of opacifiers for ceramic tile production and for refractory products used in the steel and foundry industries.
