   Kenmare Operations Update 
 
   Kenmare Resources (LSE: KMR, ISE: KMR), one of the leading producers of 
titanium minerals, which operates the Moma Titanium Minerals Mine (the 
"Mine" or "Moma") in northern Mozambique, provides an operational 
update. 
 
   Recent flooding in Nampula Province in northern Mozambique has resulted 
in damage to the power line between the Moma Mine and the city of 
Nampula, causing an interruption to the supply of grid power to the 
Mine. The power failure occurred when the Meluli River burst its banks, 
compromising the overhead line. A temporary repair was recently carried 
out in this location following a previous storm and as a result some of 
the materials necessary for repair are already at site with additional 
supplies to follow. A joint Kenmare and Electricidade de Moçambique 
team has been mobilised to begin repairs as the flooding subsides. 
 
   In the meantime, the diesel generators have continued to operate and the 
Mine has been processing HMC stocks, magnetic and non-magnetic 
concentrate stocks, and exporting product. It is expected that the 
available power will be used to alternate supply between the Mineral 
Separation Plant and Wet Concentrator Plant B in a series of campaigns 
until grid power is restored. 
 
   The effect of the power outage will be mitigated due to the significant 
levels of ilmenite product inventories on hand. The Company has recently 
secured additional off-take volumes with a new ilmenite customer for the 
product that makes up the bulk of the inventories on hand at Moma. 
. 
 
   The Company will provide further updates in due course.
