                          Kenmare Statement


10th September, 2008


Kenmare is not aware of any  reason for the sharp deterioration  over
the last week in the Company's share price.

The Company completed a successful share placing of US$30 million  at
Stg 32p on 29th August, which is more than sufficient for its funding
needs based on forecast output.

As set out in  the interim statement, the  Board is taking all  steps
necessary to achieve target production. Kenmare is pleased to  report
that the production ramp-up of heavy mineral concentrate at the  Moma
Titanium Minerals Mine  is progressing well,  with production  output
for the first  nine days of  September 27% higher  than the  previous
best month's daily average production level.

The Company expects  daily production  rates to  continue to  improve
during the remainder of September and in the following months.
