Kenmare announces progress on Moma and new Uran...

12 July, 2006



At its AGM today Kenmare reported good progress on the development of
its Moma Titanium Minerals Mine. The project is now 88% complete and
on schedule for completion by the contractor before the end of the
year. Various elements of the overall project will be completed
before this time.

Kenmare also reported that the full production management team for
the mine has now been recruited and is working on commissioning and
ramp up programmes. The hiring and training of non-management workers
is on-going with the objective of having a full complement of staff
on board for taking over various elements of the project as they are
released by the contractor.

While the core business of Kenmare will remain titanium minerals, the
recruitment of this new project management group has allowed Kenmare
to redeploy some of its exploration team. Given Kenmare's experience,
logistical capacity and standing in Mozambique, the Directors
consider further exploration in Mozambique is a strategic fit for the
Company. Hence, Kenmare is pleased to announce that it has been
granted three uranium exploration licences covering approximately
750km2 in the Tete Province of western Mozambique. The licences which
lie in the Zambezi Valley, cover an area underlain by Karoo
sandstones and contain known occurrences of uranium. The licences
were signed by Minister Esperanca Bias on July 11. An exploration
programme will commence shortly.
